If I’m fishing with nymphs, I usually have at least 2 connected on my rig. I have actually captured flak for it from some who do not believe it’s “sporting,” however I frequently fish a dry-dropper-dropper rig throughout the summer seasons. Utilizing 3 flies is legal here in Wyoming, and the capability to fish a huge hopper, caddis, or stonefly up leading, with a caddis and midget nymph below it, enables me to efficiently cover more of the water column, specifically in the deep pockets in my regional high-country streams.
However it’s not simply the capability to cover more of the water column that assists the two-nymph rig have a lot success.
