Fly Line Nymph

Fly Line Nymph
Fishing nymph flies on floating fly line?

I heard it before but forgot... What can I attach to my floating fly line to make my flies sink?

What's the thing that adds more weight. Say if I want to drop a fly down 8 ft?

Also, what is the technique called where you have a dry fly then tied onto that a trailing wet fly?

Thanks!

Second question first; the second fly is referred to as the dropper and the first fly, the point fly, is used as an indicator.
With reference to the first question; if your intent is to turn your floating line into a temporary sink tip line, the easiest way to achieve that is to use a very fast or extra fast sinking poly leader, it probably won't get you as deep in current but it should do and they are readily available from any well stocked fly shop. I do know that Cabela's carries them. An alternative is to acquire a length of Cortland LC 13 lead core line. Cut a length of it off and put a loop in each end and you are good to go, attach one end of it to your fly line and a three to six foot leader to the other end. Start with three foot length of the LC13 and work your up from there and remember to open your casting loops up if you don't want it to get ugly. As an aside the 13 refers to the weight of the line in grains/foot. The best solution of all though is to get either a full sinking line or a sink tip.
