Pretty much the only double rig I use anymore is: larger fly direct

That is one approach that never even occurred to me

Thanks, I'll try it ( and some of the others suggested, as well )

Here's another 'confidence' weirdness in my head ... the one time I
went to the San Juan I had zero problem 'trusting' tiny nymphs
( single rig ), but for some reason on this local water I don't, even
though a seine suggests using them.

I might float the local river in my WaterMaster tomorrow .... just too
nice of weather to sit around. Once launched I'm stuck for a few
hours so I better be prepared for reality,

and reality is

nymphing will be the only likely way available to catch the
fishies. I'm thinking of taking a 10ft 5wt and 'high sticking'
the riffles and WBugging the frog water sections. I've heard a lot
about fishing with multiple nymphs but have never really tried it, a
single one beneath a dry is as close as I remember trying to deal with
multiple fly rigging.

My question ... what is the best ( defined as least prone to tangle )
way to rig a couple nymphs and maybe a split shot ... i.e. droppers,
all in a line hook bend to hook .... other? WHERE DO YOU put the
heaviest fly so that tangles are minimized ? ... last one, first
one ...other ?

Any ideas on cool fast and efficient ways to switch back and forth
from a riffle rig to a frog water one? ... besides a second rod


TIA


sounds fun. I thought about taking the yak out to the local lake, but
oldest daughterwas due to deliver Granddaughter #2 yesterday, so Grandma is
not going to let me go far.

Well, she's already tardy (which will.....or at least should.....go on
her permanent record) and besides, how "far" can the local lake be?

giles
i mean, yeah, "the age of reason" is behind us, but still.........
