I'm would like to set up a dry --- nymph dropper w/ the nymph dropped from the

I've been playing around with diff knots and I like the perfect loop knot
and uni.

Is this combo valid for a dry--drpr--nymph?

pl=perfect loop
uni=uni

(taperleader)-----pl--pl----(tippet)---dryfly-hookbend/uni-----uni/nymph

nb

You will find it easier to use tippet rings instead of just knots.
Like these;

You can drop a nymph off a ring as well if you wish, or drop the dry
fly off the ring if you want the nymph on the point.

Saves a lot of messing on, and makes a tapred leader last a very long
time. I would suggest you "colour" the rings with matt black marker.
This stops them glinting, and fewer fish try to take the rings.

If you want to fish "in-line" rings, and you dress your own flies,
then try these;

This prevents "bumping" fish off, ( as does the ring drop rig
described above).
