The rig

Rigging three flies on a long leader - with an example of a classical team.

Try using a blood knot making the tag ends extra long. A neat way to add flies & vary tippet size as well.

I saw how Ronny caught the trouts. I tried to catch fish on the same time and same water on a different way.
I used streamers, nymps, dry flies nothing worked...... I am convinced now I saw how good this method worked!
Thanks for sharing the tip

I've used this rig, with as top fly a big sedge as attractor, a diawl back as middle dropper-nymph and an buzzer as pointfly. It worked well (I only once threw everything in a enormous knot...). Caught two rainbows in a few minutes time.

Thanks for the tip.

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
