Tip
Tip: Use a double-stack foam dry fly to float big droppers and cover both water columns
How to do it: Fish a foam dry with two layers of foam, with a wing for visibility, so it can float a heavy nymph below while fishing the surface
Mistake it fixes: Using a dry that cannot float a dropper
Why it works: A double-stack foam fly stays afloat under weight, letting you fish surface and subsurface at once without sinking the dry.
When it matters most: Dry-dropper fishing
