i spoke to a fellow some time ago in gac an he was saying all he fishes is the above method (new zealand method)an he swore by it ,it involves a realy buoyant high vis fly with either two or three heavy bugs /nymphs tyed to the shank of the buoyanant fly leaving the buoyant fly doing the job of a strike indicator and for surface feeding fish ...i was wondering if anyone ulse eses this method succesfully (joeh aka magpie-tail)

I have never fished it myself, However I have seen it used to great effect on the Nith and Annan for Grayling. It's basically nymphing with a strike indicator that bites  would be keen to learn what knot is used to attach the leader the the bend of the dry fly Dave |

There's two main ways of attaching, one is a direct line to the bend of the hook (I have used an un tucked blood and a grinner), the other is having the buoyant fly on a small dropper (my prefered method), hooking rate improved but I thing the detection element can be slightly reduced. This second method was also called the "wry" fly many years ago in the UK.

think i would use the one direct to leader in the colder months when theres no hatch happening and use the dropper method in the months were there are regular hatches ,i allso seen in flyfishing and flytying charles jardine tyed a fly with a loop of 5lb nylon were the tail would be, so to tie nylon then weighted nymphs onto ,,,
