Tip

Tip: Keep body proportions about two-thirds back and one-third front

How to do it: Proportion bodies about two-thirds back to one-third front

Mistake it fixes: Making body proportions equal front and back

Why it works: Two-thirds back to one-third front matches natural nymph shape, with a larger abdomen and smaller thorax.

When it matters most: Fly tying, proportions
