I hear/read varying opinions on the length of your dropper from the dry. I've heard of everything from just inches to 1.5'. I've also heard it should be relative to the water depth, which changes often as you negotiate the stream.
It's been my experience that if I have the dropper too short, I'll foul hook some fish because of a late hook set on the dry. So, I generally try to keep the length at about 1.5'. At that length I almost never foul hook. What dropper length do you generally go with?
