William, I normally only fish a single fly on a river. Rarely I will use a second fly and if so I tie in dropper on the line dirctly and attach my dry fly or nymph here. with a nymph on the point. I have seen and read about securing mono to the bend in a hook for fishing a nymph below a dry fly but this is so alien to me I have never tried it.

How do you set it up and cast the rig? -----Original Message----- From: Kevin McClean To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 11/19/2003 9:44 AM Subject: [VFB] Furled Leaders - Direct Swap Hi, I was given a furled leader from someone in Winged Dry Fly Swap about a year or so ago. I'm not sure who, but thank you very much. I was hoping to get a few more of these and to be truthful I don't think I would have the time to try make them myself at the moment. Would anyone be interested in some flies for some fulred leaders? I am looking for a furled leader for my dry fly fishing (river) which is normally done on a 9 1/2 foot 7wt rod or an 8 foot 5 wt rod. I'm not sure if I would need one or two leaders here. I am also looking for a furled leader for my 11 1/2 foot 7wt lake road. When dry fly fishing I normally fish two flys about 4 foot apart and when wet fly fishing I will fish 3 flies. Again, I am not sure if one or two furled leaders would sufice. If someone would like to swap some of my flies for some furled leaders please let me know. I normally tie wet and dry Irish lake flies. I tie a lot of river dry flies that we use over here. Generally size 14 - 16. I especially like upwing drys with starling or mallard for the upwing. I also tie some Irish Salmon Flies, shrimp style and hairwing. I would be happy to tie up a few of the flies above for the furled leaders that I would need. This would also give me a good excuse to get back to the bench as I have been away from it for way too long. Kevin --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
