A surgeon's knot is going to leave four ends: 1 is your leader or
"first length of mono", the 2nd is the long piece which will be your
tippet, and 3 the tag end of your leader, 4 tag end of your tippet.
If I use this method (and I have and don't like it), I tie the
dropper on the tag end of the leader (first length of mono) which is
"pointing downwards," and parallel to your long pice of tippet
material.

When I nymph, I use only one fly. While Czech nymphing includes three
flies, I find it cumbersome and especially subject to tangles. The
only *good* thing about it is you can "test" two flies. The few times
I have used this method, I have taken fish off of one of the droppers.
At that point I re-rig and use only the fly that the fish are
attracted to. Works well for me.
