Sinking dry?

[coughlin]

I don't seem to have this problem. My rig is a #12 dry with a long tail and two hackles. The nymph is always a # 16-20, usually a GRHE. I tie the nymph to the bend of the dry fly hook and step down one tippet size. I reserve the technique for slow to moderate flows and always fish the rig upstream. When trout are flashing under the surface, this is a very effective set-up for me.
