I fish hopper/dropper quite a bit on creeks. I fished last Friday. In the morning, most fish were eating the nymph...
As it warmed up, the fish started looking up & hitting the hopper...
See, this is where it's different than spin casting with a bobber with a nymph under it; I wouldn't have caught this beautiful 22" brown trout on a bobber...
By the way... once the fish start hitting the hopper more than the dropper, I'll often get rid of the nymph. Usually, I'll replace it with a smaller dry, like a beetle or a Parachute Adams. Y'know, 'cuz I really enjoy losing at least 2 flies at a time...
