Default Dual nymphs

I couldn't disagree with this more strongly. I've rigged 8 year old
kids up with dual rig nymphs and they don't tangle any more than
single nymphs. The parts that cause tangles are the strike indicator
and split shot. If you're just looking to avoid tangles, get rid of
the shot, and make the point fly a heavy bead head.

As to you presumedly rhetorical question about control, there's at
least some chance that there's enough slack between the two flies that
one of them has some chance of dead drifting, as least a short
distance. (I hadn't thought about this before, but I think whoever
suggested it is right.)

The only thing I rig 8 year old kids up with is a bobber and a worm.
Seems to work very well;
