I was going to call this thread "more than one tube at a time" but thought better of it.
My question is has anyone used more than one tube fly at a time on the leader? I was on the upper Tweed yesterday when I found my fly box lacking in the big tubes that I thought the conditions needed. The solution was to thread two tubes on the leader, an 11/4" copper Junction shrimp on first followed by a 1/2" tungsten Addie's Tadpole.
It look not very good out of the water
but the dog dangly bits in the river
The overall fly length was about 4", sank like a stone and it had the presence I was looking for. It nearly worked as well as I touched three fish, the last of which took off immediately after the take and took about 35yards of line before there was a swirl on the surface and it was away
Must try a few other combos to see how they look.
