Tip
Tip: Add weight, beads, flash, or legs only to give sink or action as needed
How to do it: Add weight, beads, flash, or legs purposefully for sink rate or action, not by default
Mistake it fixes: Adding weight, beads, flash, or legs without a purpose
Why it works: Each addition changes sink rate, visibility, or movement. Purposeful additions improve a fly, while random additions degrade it.
When it matters most: Fly tying, materials
