remember, bowtwanger, I too am a practitioner of the black art of indicator fishing.

I do not get bored watching for that little "indicator" to take a dive for the bottom.

I also use the sideview on my fishing buddy to locate and cast to fish. It works.

Where you comment on "an older fisherman"... back in the late 70's I had Dave Meyers (over on Chopaka) call me a stinking "moocher" because I let the wind push my boat while I was dragging a nymph. Dave is probably gone to fly fishing heaven as he was 83 when he told me that. He also said I tied good looking nymphs and wanted one for his collection.
