Fritz, Kelly's reasoning for using splitshot at the bottom rather than a weighted nymph also makes sense in that the nymph would hang up more and trout do no look down to feed off the bottom. I think it makes sense to have the bottom nymph about six inches off the bottom and above the splitshot. The second nymph will be tied in about 8 to 12 inches above that. I plan to try several of the alternatives this year to see what works best for my waters. Thanks.
