Dryfly fishing?

Question

Literally, pesca con mosca seca but I bet there is a phrase anglers use that is idiomatic Spanish. Thanks

Answer 1

According to this dictionary it is as you say: mosca seca

Dry Fly (see listing down towards the bottom)

Curious, when I looked under wet I didn't see wet-fly. - 0074b507, Jul 31, 2010

mosca ahogada (sounds better) - 0074b507, Jul 31, 2010

Answer 3

The information I found supports what Q says:

"Mosca Seca": Dry Fly

"Mosca Ahogada" Wet Fly? Drowned Fly? (I'm not a fly fisherman, sorry).

Also Ninfas: Nymphs

Streamers (apparently no translation for that one)

Custáceos, camarones : shrimp, crustaceans.

I found three web sites that go on loving detail about everything about fly fishing in Spanish:

Ríos y Senderos

[Travesía de Pesca][2]

Pesca León

Answer 4

Thanks folks, I'm still curious to know if there is another phrase although it seems there isn't. Very helpful stuff. I'm going to accompany mi suegro on a fishing trip in Menorca and I'll have to do the talking

How fun... - LuisaGomezBartle, Jul 31, 2010

Hola,

Yo he visto "con señuelo/mosca artificial". Es cuando se trata de usar el señuelo que más se parece a lo que el pez consume naturalmente así que el señuelo varía dependiendo de lo que quieras pescar.

Hope this helps.
