One week you take up fly fishing again.... and a week later ask for secrets from the dark side?

Don't you know people go to "fly hell" for fishng with indicators, or bobbers, as certain fly purists call them.

Me, I think it's a very effective way to fish chironomids (hereafter referred to as chronies) suspended at the particular level fish are actively pursuing chronies for food.

Some other anglers have tried flies other than chronie imitations suspended under indicators. Some fish leeches, hares ears and other nymphs and had good results.

To fish a fly under an indicator, one must first be fishing from a stationary position be it either from the bank or a boat that's double anchored to prevent swinging in the wind.

For indicators... use the biggest corkie you can find. Smaller ones and the stickon indicators seem to get lost in low light or choppy water conditions.
