Of course, the drop fly is tied to the end of your leader.

ah...that's the part i didn't get. sounds workable, except won't the dry
fly slip during parts of the casting motion?

....i also like the idea of a short permanently attached leader to the
bend of the dry fly hook with a loop at the end for loop to loop
attachment of varying lengths of pre-rigged dropper leaders with flies.
i saw something - i think in an orvis circular - about a new (to me)
nymphing leader system that has a series of loops down its length
imparting a more natural action to the nymph as it moves with the current.
