Definitely intended as a wet fly. Would be great on the swing. Now… could you put a bunch of fly dope on it and maybe get it to float? Possibly 🙂

That’s a soft hackle. It’s a wet fly. They sit just under the surface. You typically swing them.

It’s a wet fly. The keys are the wet fly style hackle and the heavy hook. It’s meant to be fished subsurface, commonly on a swing through the water you are fishing. A dry fly typically has the hackle tied from stiffer material, wrapped so that the fibers are perpendicular to the hook shank.

Looks wet to me. But test it, see if it floats.
