OK, this is really interesting stuff. Another question from a struggling beginner:
It seems important to get the correct amount of weight on to get the flies as close to the bottom as possible. So you have your first fly tied onto your leader, possibly a second fly tied to the bend of the first fly, where do you put the weight? Is it just the weight of the flies themselves (probably not heavy enough I assume) or do you add split shot? Does the split shot go between the flies or do you tie another piece of line onto the second fly and add some split shot at the end of this final piece of line? Am I over-complicating this or missing something? What kind of spacing would you leave between flies and weights?
Appreciate all of the advise, keep it coming!!
