Having read the post below about droppers getting tangled, someone mentioned the 'New Zealand' method....is this where the bottom fly is tied to the shank of the hook above it?
Does this really work?
And is it suitable for small stillwaters?

Works a treat on small stillwaters when they are up in the top layer of water. Tie a buzzer under the dry and it stays in the feeding zone drifting under the dry.

Thank you for that...could you explain the actual method in a bit more detail please?
I take it that the dropper is simply tied to the bend of the hook above it?
What sort of dropper length would be favourite?
Thanks...

I tie the dropper to the mid of the bend, but in use the knot moves about a bit - make sure the knot is snug, otherwise it could slip down completely..!
As to the length of the dropper, I have varied the length according to the depth I wanted the buzzer to fish, from 6 inches to 18inches, you can even set up more than one...
A Hopper with a Dawl Bach on NZ style works well at Westlow Mere, I fish the Hopper dry and then pull it under water if there is no interest...
