Tip
Tip: Use the tag ends of a marriage knot to create a dropper at about 90 degrees for a second fly
How to do it: Leave tag ends on a marriage knot to form a dropper that sticks out at roughly a right angle for a second fly
Mistake it fixes: Wasting tag ends that could form a dropper
Why it works: A 90-degree dropper presents a second fly away from the main line, reducing tangles and covering another depth or pattern.
When it matters most: Knots and rigging, two-fly rigs
