Hi All. I have a problem that I'm hoping to get some suggestions to solve. Much to my better half's teasing, my weighted flys are rolling over and "dying" on me. I thought and still think that the lead wrap is the culprit, but now I'm not sure. The fly is the Clouser Nymph, and the recipe calls for 15 wraps of 025 on the base, and 5 additional wraps on top at the thorax. This happens on a Mustad #6 R74 4X, and a #6 TMC 200R, so I don't think it is the hook. I am using 2X tippet, and attach the fly with a Kreh Non Slip Mono. The loop comes out fine and the fly has a lot of movement. I still catch fish with it, but it just isn't right. Any suggestions to try?
Thanks,
Bob
