Tip
Tip: Trim pale tips off the material
How to do it: Remove pale, weak tips from body material before tying
Mistake it fixes: Leaving pale tips on body material
Why it works: Pale tips are often weaker and less coloured. Trimming them gives a stronger, more uniform body.
When it matters most: Fly tying, wet flies
