Dries for droppers

I don't, (see above), but those who do use big stimulators
in yellow or orange.

(stuff snipped)

Sometimes a #16 PMD accomplishes the same thing. The bobber fly won't
catch as many fish as the itty bitty out at the end of the line.
But it will catch fish, which is something no foam or yarn indicator
has ever accomplished yet.

Hi "Salmo",
Heh . . .heh . . .my best combination lately has been a size 18-22 dry with
a 22-24 dropper. (but of course, I'm out here in the wilderness) Sometimes
have to trash any dropper setup and just go to a 22-24 dry. Must be the
environment I enjoy. (it is a burden)
Starting to goof around with more of the foam patterns, you play with.

( but I don't rule out those big foamy things out here this time of year,
for indicators . . .and sometimes that has to be the only fly . . .the big
guys don't like the extra stuff attached when they are somewhat persnickety)

What kind of patterns do you use?

Dale This is a perfect use for those Psychedelic Spiders or any other
Dale color(such as yellow) for easy visability. ... You can see
Dale pictures on Stan's flyswap pages.

Found the picture - that's psychedelic, yes indeed. What's the recipe?

Salmo On the big tailwater rivers here in Montana (Missouri, Big
Salmo Horn) you often want to fish with small dry flies--that I can't
Salmo see--especially on the breezy, overcast days, when the fishing
Salmo is usually at its best.

Salmo So I like to fish an extra-bushy #16 or #18 Pale Morning Dun or
Salmo even a Royal Wulff (that I can see) with 24" of tippet behind
Salmo that (tied to the bend of the hook)....with a smaller,
Salmo essentially invisible dryfly at the end.

Good point. I guess a technique like that could also prove to be very
useful in stillwater fishing.

rw So an ordinary indicator is unacceptable, but an indicator with a
rw hook in it is OK. Is that about it?
Basically yes. Well, as long as it looks something like a fly (over
here a round piece of yellow foam with a hook wouldn't).

rw That is, in a word, ridiculous.

Well, I understand both views.

The Psychedelic spider uses multicolored foam, tinsel chenille for the body
material and multicolored rubber legs. It is just a gurgler rip-off but in
colors that look cool when you leave them in the trees. They are very easy to
see on the water. I start with a size 10 dry fly or bass bug hook. None of this
is written in stone. Tye them and have fun with them.

I use dales psychedelics(since he tied me a bunch). The fish seem to just
love them, I've caught tons of bass and sunfish with them down on the
Lampassas.
