Change weight, not pattern

Various beads

It's all in the drift.
If you had to choose 5 different flies or the same fly in 5 different weights, which option would it be?
Most of us will say 5 different flies, I presume, because we have to match the hatch and the easiest way to match the hatch is to offer 5 different flies?
Earlier I mentioned it is all in the DRIFT.
Pascal Cognard said to me, he would rather have the same fly in 5 different weights than 5 different flies.
Remember, 5 different flies all in the same weight, will all react the exact same way, but the same fly in 5 different weights will all drift differently and at different depths, and with the earlier tip of changing your position, you end up with so many different ways the same fly in different weights will end up drifting to the fish.
Tying the same nymph with different size beads in different materials will do the trick.
