A three fly cast of wet flies is indeed a traditional method, but what
has that to do with fishing two weighted nymphs, most likely with
split shot weights or bead heads, and a bobber to boot, in water of
unknown depth, thus apparently necessitating using two of them in the
first place?

Much less fish anuses, or duct tape?

Such a weighted rig is commonly used for raking fish. For the simple
reason that unweighted flies don´t work very well for such a purpose.
This is not to say that everbody who uses such double fly weighted
rigs is attempting to rake fish, but such a rig makes it possible. The
chance of snagging a fish with a single weighted nymph is very
considerably less, indeed vanishingly small. Even if you know how deep
the water is.

Just once, it would be really nice to see a sensible logical pleasant
discussion of some tactic or other on here, without any name calling,
bull****, or total stupidity.
