Tip
Tip: Weight comes in different diameters; choose a diameter suited to the fly
How to do it: Select wire diameter appropriate to the fly size and desired sink rate
Mistake it fixes: Using one wire diameter for all nymphs
Why it works: Wire diameter controls weight and bulk. Matching it to fly size gives the right sink rate without excess bulk.
When it matters most: Fly tying, nymph weighting
