Timeless Tips: Attach your Dry Fly with a Loop Knot

Have you ever been dry fly fishing and noticed your fly wasn’t always riding upright in the water?  I’ve had dries that spend about half their drifts floating upside down.  An easy way to avoid this?  Attach your dry fly with a loop knot.  You will notice your fly will almost always ride upright in the water, hook point down.  Fishing a dry dropper set up?  Double Dries? Same deal, attach your dry with any type of loop knot (non slip mono loop is a personal favorite but any loop knot will do) and you wont have to deal with your dry fly drifting upside-down.
