    I like mine to be unweighted. If I want to add a little weight, I add a swivel between the leader and tippet. When trout are on to waterboatmen, the fishing can be awesome especially casting to rises.

    Unweighted=when the trout are clearly rising to them.
    weighted=when I have tried my staple flies and they aren't producing.

    I usually start unweighted, especially if I am fishing along the shoreline or if there are visible rises. If that doesn't work I will try the weight. If that still doesn't work, I say the heck with it and toss out a black leech.
