I use popper / soft hackle combination a lot when fishing warm water for bluegill, crappie, bass, etc.
I use nymph / nymph and softhackle / nymph quite a bit too.

Hopper-dropper if they just refuse to bite on top. One of the best rigs I found for fall runners out of Hebgen was spaghetti and meatballs (IPW & egg), although I preferred streamers.

nymph/nymph/wet
dry/nymph
dry/wet
dry/dry
they're all my favorites. "conditions" dictate the choice
in fact, i do not feel comfortable casting just one fly any more. kind of like buying only one lottery ticket...:wink:
In my f/fishing realm it is dry-nymph.
Dry-nymph, with dropper tied to the bend of the dry on a tippet one size down from the tippet on the dry.

Sorry guys, perhaps I wasn't clear...sorry...which (patterns) combination?
My dry-dry: MadamX-Griffith's Gnat
My nymph-nymph: Black Kaufmann's Stone#6 weighted-Prince#16 beadhead
Dry-wet: Chernobyl Ant-Whickham's Fancy
Most of the time its nymph-nymph(#4 rubberlegs-b.h.p.t.) with the occasional Emerger-Nymph-Nymph(Parasol Emerger-Pheasant Tail-Scud)
Favourite is Dry(Elk Hair Caddis) - Nymph(P.T.), most used is nymph(Hair and Copper) - nymph(P.T.).
For stillwaters it is nymph(Buzzer), nymph(damsel), nymph(Dragonfly).
All the best.
Mike.
A dark weighted wet on the point like a wingless black gnat
A medium colored wet as the first dropper. Maybe a hare's ear or dark cayhill
A light colored wet for the second dropper ...light cayhill
More often than that combination I'll use two streamers
Usually two deceiver variations with the largest one on the point
Almost always it's wet-wet-wet, a point fly and two droppers
now and then it's dry /wet
Wet
