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.

supra.
losing my touch, i reckon.

No, you're not losing your "kooky uncle who will only tie one knot"
touch. You just accidentally picked a situation where the improved
clinch happens to be a suitable knot. ;-)

If the guy had asked how to tie the leader to the flyline I'd be all
over you like a cheap suit. :-)
