Steve: Both videos (the dry fly leader and the wet fly cast) are well done and welcome. They offer a little simplicity in the increasingly complicated endeavor of fly fishing. I would offer one quibble on the surgeon's knot: cut the piece of leader that points toward your rod or reel and tie your fly on the strand that points down towards the point fly. Otherwise, it has been said that when a fish takes the dropper fly (especially if it is a good sized one) it will be pulling against the core of the knot and may cause it to loosen. Anyway, have a great season on the loughs.

Thank you for your response and appreciate your comment.
Thanks so much 🎉

You're welcome, Brian. I'm glad you liked it.
Usually tie second fly to a length of 5x attached to bend if the first fly. I'm afraid of tangling with this type of dropper rig.
Thanks for your input. I see where you are coming from. I have been lucky with it through the years and just wanted to pass it on.
