I recently watched a fishing buddy JKillinger catch a good number of stocked trout on a Valdi Worm and this started me thinking of replacing my lead shot with a heavy anchor fly. I recently watched a video of Joe Humphrey talk about weighting flies and he said if flies were weighted half to whole hook shank the flies would ride hook point up, which would be ideal to avoid hang-ups. If you tie flies in the round like caddis your OK, but if you tie stones with wing cases or woven stones your light under body the fly would be riding upside down. How do you weight flies to make them heavy enough as anchors but ride in the correct position
Ps Thanks to Mantis for some help in nymphing technique
