Default Penn's creek zit droppers

Joe asks for help from:
Tom [or anyone]

in full clavemeister mode......

I have a problem.

let me go open a beer......now, I'm ready.


Cannot see those little yellow zit flies
you furnished me when I attended the Rainout Clave a couple of years ago.

Those are sulfurs, you are probably going to have to fish them, somehow......


So I want to pretie them onto leaders to use
as droopers

those would be droppers....droopers are what you get at that club in Millheim.
Now,
the way I tie droppers in by leaving knot tags off the last blood knot in the
leader, but you want to run about 18-20 inches of leader from indicator fly to
sulfurs.


What big fly should I use as indicator?

Patriot dry, size 12(10 in heavy currents), they are bright,high-floating, and
Penn's fish seem to like them.


What size leader for dropper--how long?

18-20 inches of 5x to the sulfur.

Any suggestions for transporting fly-leader-zit fly around in my vest
without crushing flies?

I wouldn't have a clue on that one....perhaps someone on ROFF knows.


What knot do I use on to tie leader to bend of hook?

I'll leave this one to the experts, as well.


should I just
trade three zit flies for one I can see on the water?

it should be a sellers market for Sulfurs by about Tuesday evening....

looking forward to seeing you,
Tom
