Czech Nymphing

Dave LaCourse wrote

A surgeon's knot is going to leave four ends: 1 is your leader or
"first length of mono", the 2nd is the long piece which will be your
tippet, and 3 the tag end of your leader, 4 tag end of your tippet.
If I use this method (and I have and don't like it), I tie the
dropper on the tag end of the leader (first length of mono) which is
"pointing downwards," and parallel to your long pice of tippet
material.

Not sure what you meant by "this method". You mean Czech nymphing in
general or do you mean tying a fly to a surgeon's knot tag so the fly
stands off the main leader?

Tying flies to tag ends of the surgeon's knot(s).

You could continue and tie 2 or 3 more surgeons knots and put droppers
on them, but with each one you increase the complexity of the rig and
the bigger chance of snarling. If I use this method I tie a fly to
the tag end of the leader (at Surgeons knot), a fly to the end of that
tippet (this would be the heavy fly to get the rig down), and then tie
a piece of tippet to the bend of the hefty fly and your third fly to
the end of that tippet.

How does the snarling of czeck compare to just tying 24 inches of tippet
to the bend of the first fly, and 24 inches to the bend of the second
fly (I find the more line the less chance of snarling)

Sure, you could do it that way. Or you could do it my way: only one
nymph. Fish are like women: Find out what they want and give it to
them. Of all the times I've used multiple flies on a rig, I usually
caught fish on only one of them. That being the case, why the other
two?
