A couple of things to consider.
1. Utah law now allows three (3) flies on. Most of us are used to just 2. Casting an additional Zebra midge is not too hard, but throwing 3 dries is something I cannot do as of yet.
2. If you use a hopper-dropper or a dry-dropper, you will want to limit the length of the dropper. Most of the time it is 18-27 inches under the dry. I fish a weed filled spring creek and my second fly is 9 inches under the first. If you want to get the dropper down and the current is swift, one may wish to use additional weight, 4-9 feet of leader,etc. This sets up to be problematic for me with a dry on top but OK with an indicator. If you want to fish a "Provo Bounce Rig", http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZ0hvZX2Uf0, I suggest an indicator.
Isn't fly fishing addicting?
