Is it me, or does this happen to everyone?
Nearly every time I catch a fish on the top fly of a two fly nymph rig the bottom part of the rig gets tangled beyond repair when landing the fish. I end up having to snip the dropper and shot from between the flies off and re-rig everything from the top fly down. If the top fly is consistently the one catching fish I end up just fishing it as a single after a couple re-rigs. This doesn’t happen when I catch a fish on the bottom nymph clearly. Tips, thoughts, suggestions?
