Dry/Dropper Suggestions & Recommendations

[GANGGREEN]

I've always considered myself an average fly fisherman at best. I think I've become a slightly better than average fly fisherman, but literally only within the last year. Prior to that I struggled at times to catch fish on fly gear, but I always did do fairly well in the summertime on a dry dropper. I tend to use a pretty high floating/bushy dry fly and a very small beadhead underneath it (I want the dropper fly to get under the surface, but not necessarily WAY under the surface). I typically use a slightly longer dropper than many guys do, probably 20-24".

I dry/drop pretty often. I have more success running the dropper on a 3'-4' piece of tippet. I normally use a Grumpy Frupmy as my dry. That stupid thing just catches fish. I tie them in a bunch of colors, tan, brown, cream, yellow/red, purple/pink. Yellow/red works best for me.

I even like to run a dry double dropper like a nymph rig except with the option of getting a dry fly eat. Super effective.
