sorry if this has already been addressed. i got through seven pages and got inpatient. i saw on youtube how to tie a two fly set up with the double surgeons knot. if i wanted to add the third fly would i just tie it to the anchor fly? or is there a better suggestion? also any prefrence on 2 or 3 flies? thanks

You would have to tie a surgeons knot, then leave about two feet then tie another one. Then you have three tag ends to tie your flies to. In a "traditional" Polish/Czech set up you would rig up this way. After speaking within true experts they all feel that two flies are better and less confusing to trout. They all say that three flies is a grayling thing...

Try it out see how you make out. There is a lot to read. Do you have the DVD? It narrows it down and breaks it into smaller parts that are easy to understand.

cool thank you. i'm used to fishing two flies anyways, but i'll probably try the three fly rig a couple times to see how it works. no i dont have the dvd. ive just been listening to podacts and reading a lot. i think this will be perfect for were i like to fish

i went out today and lost a bunch of flies to the lava bottom of my river. then switched back to using a corkie to keep my flies up. i guess im going to need more practice keeping them at the right depth. however i do think this method will work good on a sandy bottom river i fish that has such clear water i cant use a corkie. thanks again for the info

Dont be too quick to abandon the technique. There are variiables other than the bottom structure which may be the cause of the unacceptable fly loss.

I agree with magnet. Try adjusting the weight of your anchor fly. The method I use is as follows. I start with one anchor fly if it does not hit the bottom in a drift I increase the weight until I hit the bottom. I then back the weight of just a bit so my anchor is drifting just a tad over the bottom. The challenge can be sudden changes of depth caused by bottom structures ( rocks ,ledges fallen trees) . These situations require the angler to seek a new angle to cast from to go around these obstacles or to purposefully cast to them.

I think it is possible to solve a problem if to select weight of the bottom nymph. And as if to use nymphs in Irish jigs style. One more important point to watch that that the leader and a line were all time tense and not to give absolutely free drift to a fly.
