Default Dual nymphs

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.

If they canīt control the drift of one nymph, how does using two
improve matters?

Multi-fly rigs are invariably just a waste of time for beginners, they
spend more time trying to remove tangles, and casting without hooking
themselves, than they do fishing.
