Hopper Dropper rig. EZ method

[@RichardHill-t5k]

Ive watched scads of dropper videos. You sir, made the best video I’ve seen. Thank you!

[@MikeMouradian]

Thanks I appreciate that!

[@kevinshufran7464]

Thanks for using the correct terminology i.e. hemostats. You got stream cred.

[@MikeMouradian]

I'm from Ann Arbor. Most people here call them roach clips! 🙂

Excellent video!!! Thank you!🧔🏼‍♂️👍

[@MikeMouradian]

Thanks for the complement!

[@richJimZ888]

Mike thanks so much for your videos! I really enjoy and I learn something every time.

[@MikeMouradian]

Glad to hear it!

[@sadams407]

Nice trick. I use a similar method for starting my dropper rig around my finger, and then slipping the loop over the dry fly hook before cinching it down.

[@MikeMouradian]

Thats how I came up with this.

[@hirkojs]

Mega Thx!

[@MikeMouradian]

thanks for commenting!

[@evgrin1507]

Great tip. Do you plan on doing anymore tying videos?

[@MikeMouradian]

I mix them in as needed. I tie pretty simple flies that work. do you have a request?

[@evgrin1507]

Maybe a simple streamer pattern?

[@MikeMouradian]

@@evgrin1507 here is a older video but good one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/npSYd3h-m9KNgs0

I just recently discovered your videos. They are so informative! Thanks for continuing to create content. The Hemostat clinch knot is a good tip, but how is a guy with deteriorating vision supposed to thread a size 20 or smaller in his tippet? Do you have any tips there, beyond wearing cheaters around my neck?

[@MikeMouradian]

I'm making a video about it! Thanks for the suggestion. it will be out tomorrow . in the meantime... www.amazon.com/Design-SF-3605THR-Threader-System-Approx/dp/B0B61XWBTM/ref=pd_bxgy_d_sccl_2/143-6460757-5968123?pd_rd_w=YeC5h&content-id=amzn1.sym.c51e3ad7-b551-4b1a-b43c-3cf69addb649&pf_rd_p=c51e3ad7-b551-4b1a-b43c-3cf69addb649&pf_rd_r=SMNYG3PMJERRHK3W3H6B&pd_rd_wg=4N5UH&pd_rd_r=05f5fbd5-0670-41b2-abc3-c107ad8f7271&pd_rd_i=B0B61XWBTM&psc=1

2 bober stoppers and 1.5mm tippet ring. Pass the line through the center of the tippet ring. Use bober stoppers to control where you want it on the leader.

[@MikeMouradian]

I've done that. I keep losing the bobber stopers.

[@MrRourk]

@@MikeMouradian what line are you using?

[@MikeMouradian]

@@MrRourk 5 wt line with 3 or 4x tippit

[@MrRourk]

@@MikeMouradian you have to use monofilament. Fly fishing tippet is slicker and thinner. They just slide and don't bite in.

[@MikeMouradian]

@@MrRourk Ha Ha! I meant I keep dropping the stoppers into the grass and water and the bottom of my bag. I have not used a tippet ring but many of my buddies swear by them. I'll have to try that. I like to try different methods and I love hearing about different techniques.
