The few exceptions may be patterns fished dry at times, and whilst I am not trying to knock the realistic fly tying boyos
(indeed I've done my fair share in the past) for many of them are absolute fantastic tiers, who score 10/10 for their artistic impression, but for practical fishing purposes, if you are looking to tie flies that are consistent fish takers, IMHO you should forget realistics.
Anyone tied this fly before?
