This assortment of flies tied by Fulling Mill Ambassador Erik Clymore of Small is focused around highly buoyant dries and generic all purpose nymphs housed in a dry dropper specific with extra headroom so as not to crush even the bulkiest terrestrials.
The indicator dries all feature a "duo" style dropper loop of (name brand) 8 # fluorocarbon. This allows you to tie droppers directly to the barbless dry fly, similarly to the traditional method of tying tippet to the bend of a (barbed) dry fly hook. I have tested the connection (the slow motion footage can be viewed on my Instagram ). Using 4x fluorocarbon tied to both ends of the dry fly and pulling from both ends, the break occurred at the rear loop with zero damage to the dry fly connection point.
Erik has been a huge supporter of Fulling Mill for years, and he is a firm believer in our fly boxes and tying materials! We appreciate his support and work to spread the many joys of fly fishing and fly tying.
