Tip
Tip: Add a tungsten bead to the loop to turn a micro fly into a jig-like fly
How to do it: Slide a 3/16 inch tungsten bead onto the loop before tightening, so the fly gains jig action and depth
Mistake it fixes: Fishing micro flies only unweighted
Why it works: A bead adds weight and a jigging action without changing the fly pattern. That lets a small fly reach depth and move like a jig.
When it matters most: Micro-streamer fishing
