I don't add any extra weight if using a sink tip. I fish from shore and loose a lot of flies on the rocks, no extra time or $ put into my flies (other than bead chain). It's more of a personnel preference.
Boat fishing guys use orange cone heads - grizz's pattern. In addition, the Binsted flies at the Fletcher's shack also have weight added.

Hi everybody.Im new to the area and new to the forum, but have been tracking things closely the past couple of weeks. I think its great that this group exists to share knowledge, make friends, etc...Anyways, I am starting to tie up some flies for the upcoming shad run and was wondering about whether or not to weight the flies (ie wrap the shank with lead wire). I will be fishing a sinking line, so the flies I have tied to date have not been weighted. Any thoughts?Thanks,Joe--
