Agree with you Ryan - my experience has been a dropper much longer than 10" is much more prone to foul hooking a fish. I have no experience with flies set up as far apart as NewSal.

Your indicator should be moving considerably slower than the surface water if it isn't add some shot.
I probably average 50 weight changes a day.
As far as distance between your two flies I keep it real short, between four and six inches. The longer the distance the less connection you have with the fly, this is a strike detection killer imo.
Most of the time nymphing comes down to 2 things for me, speed and strike detection, just my thoughts on my own system, lots of good advice from others so far.

Kev, Noticeably probably is a better description. In faster water there will be a bigger difference than in slow for me.
It's funny you say that swattie its one of the reasons I love nymphing, it's like a puzzle you have to solve but there is less information than dry fly fishing. Which I love equally by the way, due to the visuals...go figure.
