Just started doing some extra reading on tadem rigs, czech nymphing etc. and was curious what are some of your favorite combos. Do you use a sucker spawn or something else bright as and attention getter. I'm mainly looking for sub surface set ups but if you prefer a dry/double dropper that would be ok to list too.
For the life of me I can't figure out how tying to the bend of the hook still allows the first fly to be productive, I mean the fish has to feel the line going to the second fly before you have a chance to set the hook no?
I know Jay likes his blood knots which avoids this but I can't tie one to save my life. Even after a couple beers!
Also I am still playing around with spacings and read in one article 3 flies should be no more than 20" apart. But does anyone add weight in between the flies or only onto the leader before the first fly.
My guess is first fly bounces along the bottom, fly 2 rides in the drift off the bottom and the last is closer the mid drift of the water column (I know this is not an exact). Also if the above assumption is correct why is it they recommend placing the heaviest fly in the middle?
