Tip
Tip: Make the rear thinner and the thorax thicker, about two-thirds rear to one-third thorax
How to do it: Build nymph bodies with a thinner rear and thicker thorax, roughly two-thirds to one-third
Mistake it fixes: Building nymph bodies at uniform thickness
Why it works: A thinner rear and thicker thorax imitate natural nymph shape, with a larger thorax where legs and gills are.
When it matters most: Fly tying, nymph bodies
