I have been fishing a double nymph rig for the last 12 years. I was thinking of trying a three nymph rig. Is this legal at Putah or California for that matter?
Dave, in California you are allowed to fish up to three flies. Just remember that it will give you worse tangles and when you lose rigs which is often on Putah you now just lost 3 flies.
Great point, I have a hard enough time with two flies and the split shot. By the way can I put the shot between the two flies? I was reading an old post and it confused me a little.
You can put the weight in between flies... but I it always seems that it messes up the action of the flies above it. FYI... Putah is barbless only. People can fish trebles and what-not on the creek. Just throwing that out there. Occasionally I have encountered spin fishers who know what they are doing and care about the resource. It'd be a shame if someone yelled at them and turned 'em off to the cause.
