My take on the classic "brace of flies" is statistical....more flies, more tangles.
Factor in the financial loss of three flies as well. And rigging time too....
I teach and fish two flies for the most part just to stream-line things. Whether euro or "merican" style tight-line nymphing....
But if you are smooth in action....one more fly means the probability of another fish.....
Although, I think a perfect drift is more important than numbers of flies.....
