GM Gordon. I was wondering why you used the blood knot. It makes good sense why to use the blood knot. I am not a fan of multi flies because I usually get a tangle and in the end cut off the top fly . Your method I will try. Thanks Gordon.
I honestly don’t like blood knots for smaller tippet diameters that’s why I stick with the triple surgeons for dry droppers. When I tie double streamer rigs for a sort of drop shot effect i am typically using 12lb flouro and I will use the blood knot in that case. I just feel like the blood knot takes too much tension to seat for 6x
Simpler way...dropper knot on ur leader then attach a leadered dry fly ..attach it with hand over hand k ot...u can change dry flies without cutting leader
The major fault, of using this Style of Dry Dropper Rig. Is that you're limited, to the size of the Dropper. Which, for me, doesn't cut it. If you use this Style Rig, you'll notice that your Dry Fly, likes to stand on it's head, and spin around in the current. I'm in North Eastern Washington, and we boast some of the largest Freshwater Invertebrates in the world. So inevitably, I'm using larger Flies. Both Dries, and Nymphs. You would think that by using a larger Dry Fly, that you would get a different result, but it doesn't work that way. I have given this Style Dry Dropper Rig several chances. With the same outcome. I'll stick to what actually works. ~Tony T., Westslope Angler Flies, Westslope Angler Guide Service.

MtKayak1, this doesn't tangle too bad as long as you keep a close eye on it. I hope you learn to like it
You're welcome! I like the blood because the tag comes straight out off the side and is less likely to tangle as much
If you tie a double surgeon and then do a half hitch with the dry fly length you’ll get that 90 degree stand off 😊🇨🇦🇬🇧
There is a million ways to skin a cat as they say. 😅
Listened to you on podcast and heard you discuss dry dropper on euro leader. Is that this set up on flouro below sighter and tippet ring?
Yessir that is it

Explain this double streamer drop shot effect you speak of.
@@EatShredSleep87 I'm not sure when I was speaking of it?
Hey Gordon does this technique work well in clear low water?
Mitch Odom, it definitely can depending on the situation
Hello, can this be use for Euro nymphing? thanks
Absolutely. That's what it's really geared towards

Yessir, that works well also.
nice shirt
patrick smith, thanks brotha
Do you do the blood knot with light tippet?
Yes I do. When tied properly its fine
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blood knot is just too busy a knot to tie on tippet for me
I used to hate tying it as well. Then I just made myself do it, and practiced it a lot, and now it's like 2nd nature

Sounds to me like you need to be using a bigger indicator for what you're chucking 😊
FYI this definitely does work.
Jesus I guess I’m a nimble fingered fool
