If you're tired of the limitations of fishing a rig just go with the single beadhead prince nymph. Faster, easier and more accurate casting. Presentation is almost always more natural than a 2 fly setup. IMHO the Weber just isn't big enough to make a 2 fly rig worth the trouble. I had my fastest 2 and and half hours fishing Sunday ever fishing this way. Since I was out of size 10 tungsted bh prince nymphs I used a size 12 until I lost 2 flies and finished up using a size 8 lead bh stonefly nymph.
A larger tungsted bh fly is pretty easy to keep along the bottom in the strike zone without adding split. In rapid water a lead bh alone won't be as effective until you get really big such as the size 8 stonefly I used.
