FOTW question?

If the body of the fly is wrapped in foam why is there weight in the front?

Wouldn't this be the answer?

"5. Either create the body with the floss or use craft foam to build up a body. When wrapped tight, it does not create buoyancy."

Ahh. I see now. I was under the impression it was supposed to float, not sink. Thank you I had to read it over again.
