Spring has arrived and trout streams are warming in many parts of the US. This means bugs are moving and starting to hatch. As soon as this happens, it’s a great time to start using dry dropper fishing tactics on the river. Whether you’ve been fishing this way for years or are totally new to it, this recent euro dry dropper fishing tutorial we filmed with Signature Tier George Daniel is loaded with helpful tips you can take to the river.
In this video George covers known essentials like casting and presentation. However, he also covers some easily-forgotten fundamentals we can all use a refresher on such wading strategy. It’s easy to move past things like that and never revisit them, but George aptly reminds us why they matter.
If you need to add more dry dropper flies to your box, head over to this page where we recommend some of our favorite patterns.
If you haven’t tried Millers’ Clueless Caddis or Croston’s Mass Attack, they’re exceptional for suspending nymphs. Plus, George has some perfect nymphs for putting underneath them. Combined, they’re seriously effective.
