Just started using droppers again (A nice guy on these boards convinced me). I noticed if my cast was sloppy(?) (tight loops/forced) my looped flies would snag much more often. Smooth cast with wider loops seemed to help,,,, a lot.
Of course this danged wind isn't helping my learning much either!! Seems the challenge is keeping my hat on most of the time.
