The Hopper Dropper Rig You Should Know (Fly Fishing)

Shop - https://houseoffly.com/ Master the hopper dropper rig and improve your hopper and nymph presentation with this simple technique. The hopper-dropper setup is one of the most effective and versatile trout fishing rigs, combining a buoyant dry fly with a subsurface nymph to cover multiple feeding zones. Traditionally, a lightly weighted or unweighted dropper fly is tied off the bend of the hopper hook, keeping the two flies in line and allowing the nymph to influence the hopper’s drift. In this video, Noah shows you a better way to rig your hopper-dropper that helps both flies drift more naturally and improves your presentation.
