    Default Droppers

    It's getting to that time of year when I'll start using big terrestrials with nymph droppers. I'll usually fish a foam hopper with an isonychia nymph tied to the bend of the hopper hook. I usually hang the nymph anywhere between 18 to 24 inched under the hopper. My question is how is the best way to cast this setup. I probably get no more than 25% of my casts to actually end up not tangled. I'm fishing this setup on an 8-1/2 ft 5wt. Any advice? I'd love to hear how you folks cast something like this (more than 10 ft anyway ). Thanks in advance.
