When I do use a dropper, most of the time it is a clear/tan Rainey's Beadbody Scud about a size 10 or 12 tied off with about a foot or two six pound test monofiliment behind a foam fly like a yellow Nymphomie Pusher Dremel Bug. I have to admit I don't use dropper rigs very often because they are hard to cast and usually only use it as a last resort. I have tried using nymph flies also.
