Natural Drift Requires Minimal Influence
A natural drift in fly fishing occurs when the fly goes down one lane with minimal influence, creating a more natural appearance. While reducing influence makes the nymph look more natural, weight is crucial for submerging the fly. Weight, such as tungsten beads or split shots, is necessary to fish beneath the water's surface. Without guidance, the weight will naturally fall to the bottom, emphasizing the importance of understanding the role of weight in fly fishing.
