If you only fish with one nymph, why would you need the tag end of a
knot for attaching another one?

I said I sometimes have fished doubles, even triples. If I would use
a double, I would use the tag method. Works find and have never had a
break off. I have also used the tie in at the hook, and have taken
fish on *that* fly. No trouble hooking up

Apart from which, using the tag end of a knot is asking for a break,
it is a very weak rig, and not at all advisable.

All the *experts* on nymphing use this method, Connor. I have used it
and have never had a break off *except* when I had two fish on and it
was too much for a 5x tippet. However, I generally prefer a single
fly, especially if I know what they want. Fish are like women,
Connor; find out what they want it give it to them.
