As FG mentioned the provo bouncer is a good rig it also works on the weber and green. [
] Only thing is in the video is I've never seen anyone use that many weights on the LP or MP.
Not sure what size of weight he was using but I generally use one or two size bb split shots more than and that Im usually getting snagged on the bottom. The trick is getting your flies to bounce off the bottom if your getting snagged every cast then theres too much weight remove some weight If your getting a little moss on your flies means just about right.
Just a word of caution any bottom bouncing rig and your going to get more snags its just a risk that happens so prepare to loose some flies.
If you looking at tandem rigs ( which just means multi fly rigs ) you can also just tie a fly to the bend of the hook of the first fly its what they call a dropper fly.
I generally use a larger fly in the front size 14 to 16 and smaller in the rear 18 to 20. Use about 16 to 18 inches of tippet for the dropper, improved clinch knot right to the bend of the hook of the first fly and 1 or 2 size bb split shots 6 to 10 inches above the first fly
