Tip
Tip: Weight often helps nymphs; place it in the middle of the body, leaving room at the front and back
How to do it: Place nymph weight in the middle of the body, reserving space at both ends
Mistake it fixes: Placing weight at the very front or back of a nymph
Why it works: Middle placement keeps the nymph balanced and leaves room for head and tail. End placement unbalances it.
When it matters most: Fly tying, nymph weighting
