Default nymph size

You're right-- nymphing, at least to me, seems all about mucking with
tackle to get a drag-free drift at the right depth, and its a lot of work.

When you have two nymphs, oddly enough, its less work! You double your
odds of having a pointy hook in the right place without mucking around with
your tackle. I particulary enjoy a beadhead nymph up top, sometimes
tungsten, with a trailing nymph of the same style trailing.
