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.

Loop knots, and dry flies. I found that foam flies most often would land upside down. But, not after I parachuted them. Big foam can also be hard to see even if big because they
ride so low in the water. Parachuting them with a visible post allows you to see them, and they land right on the water. It also gives you an opportunity to use those big, dry fly hackles you never use! The loop knot? Twice the diameter size if you think trout can be spooked by the diameter of the tippet being to big,
