Well taking the philosophical point of view whats best for the trout would be whatever is the least successful for catching them....So if you see fish rising use a wet fly and if you dont then use dry....

Coasty, award yourself a Yorkshire pudding for your keen observation and your northern wit, I loved it. BTW either wet or dry fly would be good for trout, better with the hook chopped at the bend. TC

Before you ask RT, yes a floating line would be better for the dry fly.

Wet fly's have very small soft hackles for legs, and the bodies are fairly thin so they will sink. Dry fly's have fairly full hackles, thicker bodies to help them float.

Oil and butter, some chopped parsley and seasoning is better for trout IMO.
