Tip
Tip: Use a large buoyant foam dry as a hopper or stonefly imitation that stays visible and floats a dropper
How to do it: Fish a large foam dry that doubles as hopper or stonefly, stays visible, and floats heavy droppers
Mistake it fixes: Using small, hard-to-see dries for large-fly fishing
Why it works: Visibility helps strike detection, and buoyancy lets you fish a dropper. A large foam dry covers both needs in one fly.
When it matters most: Dry fly, hopper and stonefly fishing
