I am with Mike on the multi-fly rigs for beginners. I think it is better
for a beginner to use a single nymph and learn to get good drifts,

frustrated.

I agree and have abandoned any attempts at a duely. But, that raises
another question I've not seen adequately addressed on the net. I've seen
very informative articles on BH nymphs, drifting weighted nymphs, strike
indicators, etc, but precious little on the specifics of weight how-tos.
Just exactly what is the proper weight for a #18 caddis nymph? In fact,
just exactly what are FF weights? Spin fishing split shot? I've read about
twist-on weights, but still little about technique. How heavy? What type?
Where placed?

One, two, three... Go!
