    Where Dry/Dropper Rules the Day!

    Where Dry/Dropper Rules the Day!



    I planned on getting up early to hit the trico spinner fall, but when the alarm went off there was no way that was going to happen.

    I used a nine foot 4x leader so it was minimal. Larger diameter tippet goes a long way to preventing line twists due to the hackled dry flies used to fish dry/dropper.

    He was asking because he knows that I tie the dry fly on a tag end. If I went hook eye right off of the leader there would be no problem.

    That's the way l also fish my dry droppers as a detached tag, l am more than convinced that the fly animates way better and that the percentage of hook ups is greater to the dry.
    Tangles are not a issue if first you build the leader system right and secondly you slow the casting stroke down.
    In fact l have used 3 dries fished this way, which is a common means for stillwater fishing, just as good for the river. Try this one during a caddis hatch and you will have some fun, often two fish at a time, sometimes 3.
