Default question on droppers

The past few years I've been fishing 2 nymphs, tying a dropper off the
hook of the top nymph. I've found that about 95% of the time I only
catch fish on the bottom nymph. I've even switched them around on some
days just to experiment. I was wondering if others have the same
experience and might know why this is?



Some might say the top nymph will get the attention, and the bottom nymph
will get the bite. For me, though, its much closer to 50-50.

Great technique. Doubles your chance of getting a good dead drift in the
right place. I like tying a beadhead on as the top nymph, and a beadless
version of the same imitation as the trailer. If the water seems real
fast, a tungsten bead might be the way to go.
