The Provo bouncer is well known rig it was featured in Fly Fishermans mag at one time and if tied correctly its full adjustable to suit any dept of water river or still water.
When fishing it on a river water hauling it up stream is the best method of casting and can be pretty accurate of the 2inch spot. But I think that more to the ability of the fly fisherman than the rig.
Yes it does take a bit longer to tie then just tying a fly to your line but as everyone knows in order to get to the bigger fish you have to get down to were there holding.
weighted rigs are a proven method of doing this.
Also if you fishing 1000+ cfs river you definitely need to fish with weight or move to a slower spot. [

As far as tangling goes I rarely tangle my flies in a tandem rigg and consistency fish 2 two flies with no issue dry or nymphing. Tandem riggs allow you to fish 2 depths of the water column at the same time. Whether it s be surface and subsurface, or subsurface an bottom bouncing.
But to each his own everyone has a method to this madness and everyones entitled to there preference. []
Quick question you say you dont use tippet when fishing one nymph what do you do when you line comes too short ?
