- Duo fishing might well be frowned upon by many as not fishing the dry fly nor the nymph correctly. Technically they would be correct but, I have fished this method for years and have caught an awful lot of fish doing so. I like to think I am open to any method of fly fishing and am not blinkered to just fishing upstream dry fly or swinging wets. There are so many different techniques out there and I think each has its place. The time for snobbery in fly fishing is over if we want to get youngsters into the sport then we need to make it easier. Getting them to catch fish when they go fishing is the first step.
This method naturally lends itself to beginners. Its visual and can be really exciting on its day. Please give it a go and if you have youngsters getting into the sport then this is a great starting point.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below, I would love to hear your opinion on the method.

Thanks for the great information lindsey.keep on the good stuff.tight lines to ya my friend!!
Your methods and instruction have been extremely helpful for me. I’ve been fishing for over 40 years with the fly, and I can tell you this…… I am amazed with how I have doubled or more by catch. Thank you so much.
Another great trip with accompanying tips. Thanks for another upload Lyndsay.
Love fishing the New Zealand drop Lindsay. Thanks for the tips. 🎣👏👍
Thanks for a really informative video will certainly give it a go.
Nice one Lindsay!!
Nice and informative video. Thanks!
Great vid Lindsey cheers
Perfect, clear, instructional video with bags of good sense, thanks. I am researching (ha! testing) duo fishing here where I have just retired in the south west of France amid 100's of kilometers of the best trout water I have ever seen. Your common sense in the short distance to the dropper, if you use it at the time, is good, and to tie directly on the hook also makes sense if there are no rises... so... after hours of trying to find the "best" solution I found a fly online that has TWO eyes. The location of the two eyes makes the dry fly float quite vertical, assuming the nymph has some weight, not sitting on the surface but penetrating the water to immitate an emerger and the nymph, directly attached to the second eye, can be given the desired dropper length depending on the water, leaving the hook tip nicely exposed. What I could not find was where to buy these hooks as I want to tie it myself to get my desired pattern and to secretly put some foam inside there somewhere so the half-submerged "indicator" emerger fly floats well enough for me to see with my (also) dodgy eyesight. I will let you know if I find the hooks, if any other knows, please let us all know. PS: Ally Gowans of Ally's shrimp salmon fly fame was my ghillie many years ago in Pitlochry. I was fishing for trout, he took a small rod, no waders, no bag, just two of his own flies in his shirt pocket and no net (!) and went upstream, I, and all my kit, went down. I blanked the day, he came back to lunch having tailed a fresh run salmon of 5-6 kilos. What can I say? His nickname in the area is "God". Tight lines!
Great video very informative, I might give this method a shot on East Lothian Tyne. You got yourself a new sub, tight lines.
very informative top edit dude....
Brilliant video 👌 when fishing the duo I’m much prefer the dropper style of rigging up
New to fishing really enjoyed the video learned a lot . Regards aAnthony
Awesome vid and some great info. I either tie nz style but mostly I have tied a number of dry patterns with a tippet ring attached at the end of the body of the dry or to the shank. Some braid works well to securely fasten the ring.
great idea about tieing several ahead of time
Gday, one thing I like to do, and i am sure you know this. Is to use a dry fly, with a very large eye, this way i can slide dry up or down easily, to change depth, of nymph, to suit water i am in, as I go up stream, slide (no tying knot on water, my eyes not what they use to be)so it really works like a none hook indicator, and is looped on same way. I find this brings good results! Thank you for your video , all the best From Tasmania Australia! Ps: might need your line straighter or shirt to get any kinks out of tippet after depth change..Pss: NZ method for me every time.
dry dropper is very common here in California. it used to be popular when I was young to use a stimulator or large elk hair caddis as the dry. now days it is more common for people to use a foam hopper. it's especially advantageous when you need to use a heavier bead head to get down in the water column. a size 12 chubby Chernobyl floats a pretty heavy nymph. if I need more I'll use a 10 Amy's ant. I tie my dropper to the shank of the dry. I've tried using a double surgeons knot to create a tag but found it always gets tangled and eventually would need to be re-tied.
Great video, things like this are really useful for beginners like myself. 👍
I've only just started this past month or so with a dry dropper. I like to tie my nymph in to the eyelet of the dry, I find it indicates like the NZ but it also keeps the tippet from hanging off the back and spooking the dry hits away
Always curious considering all land is largely private in the UK how and where you get to fish? Growing up in colorado we use NZ setup but my Grandad who was strictly a wet fly fisher always used loops to put leader and flies together. He always caught fish and would often skunk me. His favorite were the muskrat nymph/ full dress and a ginger quill wet on the dropper. Ive been wanting to experiment with streamer/wet fly-nymph combination.
