Tip
Tip: Adjust the amount of material for a lighter or heavier body
How to do it: Vary material quantity to achieve a lighter or heavier body as needed
Mistake it fixes: Using the same material amount for all body weights
Why it works: Material amount controls body bulk and weight. Adjusting it lets one pattern cover varied depths and conditions.
When it matters most: Fly tying, wet flies
