But last week Joni (aka Fly Goddess) explained how she took a 6 ft. piece of leader material and tied a loop in the middle so she had one piece 4 ft. long and one 2 ft. long. Then she did a loop to loop with her header and tied a fly on each end of the two sectioned tippet. Big fly on the longer section, smaller fly on the shorter section. She commented she had caught many ?doubles? that way.
Well after church services Sunday, my wife and daughter went out to lunch, I went to the river and used the method myself with more of a 2 ? - 3 ? ft. division. I was fishing a pool above the rapids where I did my half barrel roll last year when I thought I had hung a real hawg. It turned out to be two nice rainbows around a 12 in. each.
May it was a coincidence, but it was only my second double ever. Cone head Wooly Bugger and my braided wire version of a lightning bug on the short section. Thanks for the suggestion.
