Tip
Tip: Pull the middle loop out to form an opening, feed the loop end through it, and ease both sides together so the loop stands at a right angle
How to do it: Form a dropper loop by pulling the middle loop out, feeding the end through, and easing sides together so it stands at a right angle
Mistake it fixes: Forming a dropper loop that lies flat against the leader
Why it works: A right-angle loop stands clear of the leader, allowing a second fly to fish without tangling.
When it matters most: Knots, dropper loop
