Also allows you to match more than one bug in the case of overlapping hatch activity.RM Lytlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17177569674375245099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1271872397720787748.post-25084480204936340762015-08-22T19:38:17.631-07:002015-08-22T19:38:17.631-07:00Usually two fly rigs are dry dropper or nymph rigs...Usually two fly rigs are dry dropper or nymph rigs, but that's pretty interesting how he uses two dries.

Glad it produced a lot of strikes and follows for you, and I'm sure you'll turn those into landed fish next time. That brown has a huge tail...you could paddle a canoe with that thing! Glad to hear David got a brookie...what kind of dry was he using? Not heading out there any time soon, just curious.RI brook trouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11741114603354216785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1271872397720787748.post-79186511745812337472015-08-22T14:31:47.259-07:002015-08-22T14:31:47.259-07:00It's a method called the jerk-strip.It's a method called the jerk-strip.RM Lytlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17177569674375245099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1271872397720787748.post-74494586590858655302015-08-21T17:58:41.638-07:002015-08-21T17:58:41.638-07:00Thanks.
