Good idea. First off, I use a dropper all the time.
Now as for attaching, I guess I use a clinch knot if I go off the bend, and then a Loop at both eyes. Or, I tie the first fly on about two feet up from end with a surgeon loop and use the 2' tag to attach the dropper (so basically the dropper is come off the eye of the first hook)
Now on stillwater, I use the "Y" connection. Take 6' to 8' of regular Flouro in the lb. I want. Fold it in half with one side being 12" to 2' shorter. Attach the loop right to my fly line and attach a larger flie (with a Surgeon's Loop) to the longer side and a small fly to the short one (with a Surgeon's loop)
