Re: [VFB] The snagging combo? or .....

[DMurphy832]

I've used droppers but really don't like the idea.  Snagging is done by lifting a weighted hook over a fish at a point the hook might snag the prey.  Fishing droppers is usually in water where you can't really see the fish and are trying to show him a few ideas about dinner and hope he'll choose one.  Often, the dropper is the winner but the topper keeps it off the bottom like a strike indicator.

Now the appropriate use of this tandem is when we can't tell if the fish is attracted to the nymph floating to the surface, emerging dun or dun.  Spinner falls are easy to figure.
