Hey,
Was wondering how others rig their fly rod when using two nymphs and fishing on a river?
My current setup uses a 9 foot 5X tapered leader. At the very end of the leader I use the forbidden over hand knot that acts as an anchor for my split shots. 6 or so inches above that i tie a 4 inch strand of tippet for one fly. (not sure what knot its called but you lay the line and tippet parallel to each other, make a loop, wrap line around back and front of loop and then bring line and tippet through your loop twice). 6 inches above that comes another strand of tippet for my second fly. My strike indicator is roughly 4 inches down from my fly line.
Was shown this way to prevent lots of flies being lost. If my split shots get stuck and I lose them it beats losing the flies. Also, I don't have to continually adjust my indicator to fix my fly depth. I just add or subtract some weight until the indicator tics every 2 or so feet. Comments? Setups? =]
