As I indicated with this rig, one is not throwing heavy dry-flies.
A taper is "not" needed.
It's a rig set-up specifically for drifting nymphs.

For me it's worth a try, if it doesn't work I can always reverse the DT line
and use the tapered side.

It works all right, but you will find that a "taper" even if it only
consists of a couple of step-downs from heavy nylon, ( best is between
60...80% of the line diameter where the line is attached) is required.


PS. The stiffer the nylon, the lesser diameter you can use.
