I wouldn’t be able to cast that mess. 

You don't "cast" a bobber rig with 8-10' of tippet below the bobber either.

Water load it and let it fly.

I'd like to watch that done, it would be a learning opportunity for me.

I bet it would be for you. 

This guy can help you all.  I believe he did a video on it

Well, I’m calling a 5-fly setup overkill, even if you’ve got a guide tying that up for you. Do you frequently do it? 

I tend to fish smaller water and very rarely do two nymphs.

I prefer to fish only one fly well, but will fish 2 until I get dialed in. A crackleback or griffiths gnat and a small dropper works really well on low water Taney. Figure most blind nymph caught fish are actually flossed. Always prefer to see the fish move and eat. Sometimes you can’t.

No. 

I just pointed out that people do it. Whether you like it or not is up to you. I’m out.

I'd tell you what I thought of the little guy who is afraid of soap and nail clippers, but I can already tell he has fans in the room, so I'll keep it to myself. 😄

I wasn't talking about the multi-fly cast, I have some experience with that, three is about my limmit but I know the old guys hung five on a regular basis when salmon fishing.  I had to search a bit to find what Wotten is about, but an hour later and I still find no reference to 10' of tippet under a bobber. I have never figured out bobbers on fly lines, there's a reason why the casting and spinning rigs are popular.  I also wouldn't know how to handle 10' of tippet without a bobber, so I could learn two things with one demonstration.

Neither is really that difficult. It's not my favorite way but I ain't scared of it either. And if I can cast a bobber with 8 foot of tippet to the first fly and another couple to the dropper. then anyone can do it. Kind of reminds me of casting a big air resistant popper on a 5 wt. 

And yes I do go without the indicator when I can, but sometimes I need that crutch to have some fun.
