Dual nymphs

You tell me. See it all the time. See guys untangling messes too.

If I want to get some distance, false casting is necessary. And, yes,
I do it all the time, effectively too.

.....no, not hot big-boobed babes drooling over your rig!

I'm having no luck tossing out my lone oversized dry BWO (#12). OTOH, I've
improved my casting immensely. In light of that fact, I actually broke down
and spent big bucks on 3 flies from my local premier FF shop. The guy on
duty seemed to know his flies, but didn't know the basic nX equation for
tippets, so I'm not sure of any advice he offered other than to rig 'em as a
pair. So, the question is, what's the best way to rig a dual nymph
offering. I have a BH pheasant and a Dunn's emerger. I also got a hotwire
prince, but I figure that's a solo rig. What say ye? TIA

nb

What? No pheasant tail? Try nymphing with just one nymph as others
have suggested. I'm a pretty good nympher and never fail to take fish
using that method, and I seldom, if ever, use more than one.

You can use more than one without getting tangles by simply using a
circle cast - when your fly drifts past and below you on the stream,
simply pick up the line and lob it upstream without any false casting.

To get line out. Duh!

A two-nymph rig is, I believe, more that twice as effective as a
one-nymph rig.

The reason is that when you miss a strike on the first fly you're likely
to snag the fish with the second. :-)

Wouldn´t surprise me at all!

Some people who use two-nymph rigs and regularly snag fish in the anus
and everywhere else get all upset about someone using a plastic egg bead
pegged 3" or less (per Alaska regs) above a hook. It's snagging! Never
mind that the "snags" are usually on the outside of the mouth where they
do the least harm.

People don't know what they are doing...?

See it all the time.

I see lots of folks doing lots of stuff "all the time" that just ain't
right...and I don't do that stuff, either...

See guys untangling messes too.

That I believe - false-casting multi-fly setups is a good way to make a
mess to untangle...

If I want to get some distance, false casting is necessary.

I'll accept that it may be necessary for you (and maybe others)...but it
isn't necessary.

And, yes, I do it all the time, effectively too.

That's fair enough, but just because some find it necessary or effective
doesn't mean that it IS necessary or effective for all (or at all).

Well, **** fire and save matches, why not just pull some of that there
fishing strang outta the top of yer pole and sling it like it was a
lasso...?

Curious,

Since you are certainly the most persistent tosser present, why don´t
you tell us?

MC

Um, because you like big rough men with big rough hands to plug you up
the poopshoot...? I know it has nothing to do with fishing or the
question, but since it's why you do EVERYTHING you do, it would be why
you'd do it, at least...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know...you're calling a big rough man with big rough
hands,
Dickie

Really quite amusing, observing ( I would have written "watching",
but it seems there are plenty of others doing that), a Dick behaving
like an asshole. Not at all surprising that you seem to be obsessed by
them.

Why don´t you try screwing yourself? Could be your true destiny, and
you are doubtless the only person who is ever goinjg to love you
anyway.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

(and snicker, too...)

Huh...well whadayaknow..."single malt" is slang for "penis of big rough
man with big rough hands in a trainstation" in Der Fadderland...so
THAT'S why you're always choking on one, but you say you're never
drunk...

Dickie boy, that you are a really obnoxious piece of work never
actually bothered me all that much. But that you are also apparently
extremely stupid does bother me more than somewhat.

Go back to playing with yourself, you dumb tosser. Nobody else is
interested in your rubbish.

It's the middle of the night in Der Fadderland...don't you have some big
rough men with big rough hands waiting on you or something...

Sorry, but I've no interest in your perverted fantasies....

Nobody else is interested in your rubbish.

Nobody? OK, name them all...

Here's the amusing thing: if even just one person on the entire planet
has any interest whatsoever, you're wrong yet again...

And here's the REALLY amusing thing - you've already demonstrated that
YOU have an interest by the fact that you read and respond...and so, not
only are you wrong yet again, it's been you yourself that has proven
that you wrong...yet again...

SNICKER,
