Now my question--need suggestion of easy way to go from dry to nymph--as
I fish upstream and come to a five foot or deeper pool just know there
is a fish or two down deep- anyone have a trick to change rig for a
nymphing

Make a quick and improvised dropper rig. Keep the dry tied on and add
leader/tippet, tied in just above the dry. Tie your (weighted) nymph to
new bit of leader. The dry then becomes a bobber for the nymph. I'd
imagine that it wouldn't take more than a minute or two to rig. Seems
too, that when it's time to move on, a quick snip would get you back to
dries without much hassle.

I agree with Dan on this one Joe,
without changing your rig, just add a dropper nymph to the dry fly.
Length of dropper depending on depth.

I should add, I would use a clinch knot right to the dry fly hook, and
a duncan loop (uni-knot) to the nymph for the dropper.
