Re:Snagging 17 Years, 5 Months ago  
I'm usually running 12-14" on the dropper... there abouts... similar distance to the weight.

The weight comes through first, then the top fly... if the fish hits that and the strike is slow, there is a higher chance of the fish getting snagged on the bottom fly.

I like the tight-line style, even if it snags a small percentage more fish. I feel like I am usually able to land a fish very, very quickly with so little line out and so much leverage on the fish. Maybe that's just how I justify it and maybe I'm afraid I won't catch anything if I drop to two flies... it is the bottom fly that usually has most of the action, after all.
