The difference is the stiffness of the hackle. A dry fly needs to be supported by the hackle where as a wet the hackle implies motion of legs ect.

I have been following this post for a while. The cost of hackle is the tyers bane. There is no sub for having the hackle you need. Trimming is not an option. If you are tying wets check out eBay there are a lot of full skins for under $20, and you get a few a few dry hackles to boot. There are Other growers besidss whitting.

I would add that if you only want to get one bugger pack to start, I'd go with Grizzly.
