Willi's taught me to use less lead and more tippet and mending to make
the fly sink. If I can see fish I like to sight fish with nymphs and
try to drift em right into the fishes mouth a la Andy Kim.

It is a bummer to chuck a bunch of lead all day. My friend said
recently it's like tying your keys to the end of your leader. Even in
a swift river 4 or 5 BBs will usually git er done (G).
