It truly baffles me how many people are willing to tell me I shouldn't fish with two rods simply because that is not how they CHOOSE to fish. Nobody is twisting your arm. I release every trout that I catch. What difference does it make how I catch them? As far as the mechanics of using two rods... Personally I LOVE it. I hate fishing lakes where I can't use two rods. I find it helps me get dialed in just a bit quicker, but more than anything it improves my fun factor. I love being able to strip a leech on one rod, and watch for takes on my other. Sure makes for some exciting times when you get a hook up on both rods. Nick
One more thing you should be told. Do not fish the sunken fly and only cast to sighted fish. Wading is not proper either.
