Default Dual nymphs

I canīt see any point in doing it at all, you have even less control
than if you only used one. You will just end up with tangles. If you
want to use a nymph, then it is easier to learn to do it using an
indicator.


Disagree. Dual nymphs are an extremely effective way of essentially
doubling your chances of having a nymph in the fish's strike zone. It's
particularly beneficial for beginners, who have a harder time controlling
the nymph's drift than an experienced nympher. I've never had a problem
with tangles, especially tying the dropper off the bend of the higher hook,
and if I did, I'd probably still use the method, because it can be
absolutely deadly.
