Dry dropper combo?

[Dgallen]

I always tie it off the bend of the dry. The only argument I've heard people make with that is that your line can get pulled down on the barb when playing a fish and the hook will cut your line. I've never had that happen, even with big (5-6 lb) fish caught the same way.

You can also fish a nymph-nymph combo with the same set up. We catch some piggies out of the Madison River with that set up and once again, the barb has never cut or weakened the line.

The only con I can think of that is a realistic one with either set up is you are prone to get more knots and tangles.
