Hey Guys and Gals – I've been having a hard time getting full takes when using chubbies/hoppers/hippy stompers this summer and fall. I've actually yet to get a take and hook set on them (this is my first full season of fly fishing). Ive tried downsizing and even uprising but get the same result. I get alot of aggressive risers and some brief takes, but nothing sticks.
Is this common or am I doing something wrong? Nine times out of ten, I'll get the strike and land on the dropper (zebra midge is tough to beat).
Appreciate any tips.

I’ve heard of fish hitting/stunning large bugs like grasshoppers before going for the eat.
