When I watched this video for the first time, a couple years ago, I was floored. I thought, 'this is going to change my approach to fishing' - and, it has.
To my surprise there seems to be a lot of confusion and controversy over his style of fishing wets. What's ironic to me is that it is all very traditional. I see comments about how traditionally wets should be fished down and across. Really?! Nothing could be further from the truth - at least from how I understand it. Another thing that bothers people is his skittering a second dropper when working the dangle. This one took a leap of faith for me too, but wouldn't you know, the Brown trout go frickin' crazy over this. It's really baffling. Must be what Davy said, they see a food source that looks like it's getting away. Of course, even Davy wouldn't commit to an answer on this one.

Anyway, I could literally talk all day about Davy Wotton's style, but I'm curious what reactions others on this forum may have had to the video. Do you agree with approach to leader building? Do you use a long rod fishing wets? What about the action he imparts with his left hand? Angle of hang?
