    Hi Nick

    I am a big fan of 2 dries, especially down stream.
    The control of the 2 dries, down stream is much easier than upstream.
    Couple the down stream DRAG FREE DRIFT, with some induced drag, pulls out fish from amazing spots.
    What still baffles me, is the resistance to down stream fishing wether it is dry fly, nymphing, wet flies, or micro nymhping into pockets.
    Some of my most memorable fish have come from down stream fishing, TRY IT.
    At first it is strange to fish down stream and you have to re-look your approach. But once you get familiar with it, it becomes a joy.
    You dont fight gravity, or the water flow.

    Nymphing, adds depth to your fly fishing.
    Nymphing, is fly fishing in another dimension

    I have done a bit of downstream specially on the way back down a Hotel beat (the flat section) only ever nailed bass doing it.....very difficult thing to do correctly i think!!! But i will do some reading and see what tips and tricks are out there.
