Dual Fly Combos?

I was updating a new computer and was in the process of deleting old
email when I ran into an ad for dual fly combos.

Anyway, I do something similar with a steelhead rig box thingee. Do
any of you pre-tie two flies or droppers and if so, have you found a
good way to store them for the stream?

Well, look what the cat drug in and the dog wouldn't bury! How goes,
other than the eyes, of course. Fighting macular degeneration on my
own. Hope all goes well.
I do like droppers, but I don't pre-rig them. It would be nice, but
I've never found a way to carry them smartly in my vest.

I prefer to use leader rings. This simplifies a lot of things. These
are small metal rings which may be incorporated into a leader, and
used to attach droppers, or tippet. They are much easier to tie knots
to, and also make replacing flies etc easier and less wasteful. If
you want any more info on this, where to obtain them etc, just reply.

Frank, it is good to hear from you! Things could be worse, I have
lost a lot of weight (32 lbs), and I have been exercising some. I
tore a retina and a skilled surgeon, who was about 19 years old I
would guess, tacked it back up and my vision is better than it was
when I went to the hospital. I still can't see well enough to tie
flies on while standing in a stream at dusk but other than that, I be
above ground.

I worked with a lad with macular degeneration and he had to have
magnifying glasses for everything and a giant and I mean giant monitor
on his computer. He did pretty well, and I hope you are doing well
too.

don't worry, PC, it wasn't annoying or offensive as some of the recent
stuff. A couple more tries, and you will have your old form backwink

Scroll down about two-thirds of the way down the page. Three
sizes, $8.95 for a pack of 10.

I don't use them or recommend them, but apparently a lot of
people like them.

If you go into a store like Joanne Fabrics, they sell small punch out cards
that are designed to have a full skein of embroidery floss wrap around
them, and they have precut slots to hold the ends secure. I think these
will work nicely with no modification. Just tie up your rig, put a loop on
the end for a loop-to-loop, and wrap it around the card. You could
probably fit a dozen or so of these into an altoids tin.
