Tip
Tip: Keep sinking-tip choices simple with a quick weight reference and floating running lines where appropriate
How to do it: Simplify tip selection with a reference for weight, use floating running lines where suitable, and adjust for fly size
Mistake it fixes: Overcomplicating sinking-tip selection
Why it works: Simple tip systems reduce decision time on the water. A reference lets you adjust quickly for fly size and depth without rebuilding the rig.
When it matters most: Spey fishing
