This brings up another discussion all in itself. Weighted or Unweighted flies? Generally, for me, it'll all depend on what I'm fishing. Rocky bottom = bead (nymph trying to latch onto a rock at the bottom) Sandy bottom/hole = Non weighted fly.
I will always try to use the split shot to get the flies to the bottom, not the flies themselves. The way I see it, I always want my split shot bouncing on the bottom , and each fly I want off the bottom, depending on the length placed between the split shot and the first fly. And then from the first fly to the second fly. Each one should be rising from the other in the water column.
Curious of what others have for input on this and their ways of doing things.
