Due any of you use droppers while fly fishing ?



Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was
cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time.
On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words,
and some of the words are theirs.

I have tried it and I get to many Cluster F**Ks to make it worth my will to do it. So I use sigle fly all of the time.

I used to get myself into all kinds of messes using a dropper but I adapted my cast to a more open loop and for the most part stay tangled free. It has helped my sucess a ton.I love to watch the fish come to the surface for the dry and turn to the dropper.

Hi Dave
Droppers....happens every time I open a fly box,,especially on a
windy day.. Big Grin
In reality I do not use a dropper..Controlling one fly out there
60 feet away is difficult enough.. Big Grin

Stephen


Happy Fishing and Tying

Funny manLaughing Out Loud I guess it would be hard to do when your using size 10 flies.
