In this video, I'll walk thru 10 or more proven hopper - dropper rigs...including my all-time favorite rig. The hopper - dropper rig is a super technique for covering water and learning a stream. It's my go-to method for first visit streams from the end of June thru October when fish are more aggressive and will actively move to feed. The hopper-dropper rig allows me to fish a stream quickly but also effectively, taking advantage of a fish's willingness to hunt down its meal rather than wait for a bug to drift into its feeding window. On return trips, I might decide on a different strategy based on the info I gathered from the first visit and time of year.
