Re: How many flies do you fish on a nymph rig
I think we all know how I voted.
JK, I typically nymph (when God forbid the trout aren't rising) with two flies. But sometimes, especially during a caddis hatch, I will fish three. I will use the knot between my leader and tippet to hang a long tag off to tie on an emerger style fly several feet above the pupa and maybe some candy below that, depending on conditions.

I think you know i put that just for you
Re: How many flies do you fish on a nymph rig
Typically two, however like Rusty will use three depending on conditions and size/depth of water.

Re: How many flies do you fish on a nymph rig
Yeah, I swing wets much more often than I fish nymphs, but in both cases, it's always two flies. In part, that's because I now live in Maryland which limits the number of flies you can use to two, but I do the same when I'm fishing in NJ or PA, because I'm used to the teams. I wouldn't know what to add as a second dropper.

Good point in this post on states regulating how many flies can be used!
Do we know what states it can only be 2 flies

AFAIK, only Maryland. It goes across all tackle types: "only two hook units per line". That's flies, lures, bait hooks, ice jigs, whatever.
I believe that Oregon has a limit of only one fly in FF only waters.
Re: How many flies do you fish on a nymph rig
I always fish one fly. I am not coordinated enough to fish more. I ALWAYS end up with a mess of tippet in knots...sometimes even with one fly.
Re: How many flies do you fish on a nymph rig
Always nymph with one fly!! Unless ur a euro nymper i rarely see the benefit of more than one fly..then again, i rarely nymph...ive watched the water for over an hour waiting for a target....dry- dropper occasionally during ISO season.....
Re: How many flies do you fish on a nymph rig
Two, but the second fly might not be a nymph.

Re: How many flies do you fish on a nymph rig
I have fished so little in the last 8 years since my kids were born and when i can make it out it is going to be for dry fly fishing but when i do nymph it is with two flys. I even bought a 10' nymphing rod this year.
