Default Hook bend dropper knot

I'm would like to set up a dry --- nymph dropper w/ the nymph dropped from the
hook of the dry. I've found a buncha sites with dropper loop knots or
showing the basic concept of a bend-of-hook dropper, but not much on the
best knot to use at the hook bend. What say ye?

You can use an improved clinch knot on the bend. The easiest way is to
tie the knot before you put in on the bend and tighten it.

I prefer to tie the dropper onto the hook eye.
