Fishing Forum

anyone use strike indicators when fishing lakes with long leaders? Do you cast from deeper water to shallow water along the banks?. If anyone tried this give me some input this is new to me never tried it. I will be heading out to sheep creek lake located on the east side north slope of the uintas in 2 weeks.

Doc, I do all the time. My favorite style of fishing.

I tie on a straight piece of mono/fluoro right on my floating line. It can be 10' to 30' long as this weekend proved.
I use break away indi with chironomids or nymphs attached. No casting on these as it just isn't going to happen. I am in my pontoon and I do have sonar to tell me how deep it is.
When fishing from a shore, I will use a 6' Furled leader and 3' to 4' of fluoro attached then fly. It is a ROLL CAST however. Much easier than trying to false cast flies and an indicator.

Here you can see the deep nymphing and indicator in action:

An older Hummingbird 300. It is awesome though. No temp, speed and only little fish, but dang if it don't tell where the fishies are LOL
I like Hummingbird. If nothing else, the way they mount.

Grab a bunch of Thingamabobbers before you head up there, maybe in a couple different sizes. By the time you get up there, the cutts should be spawning. I hit it in june last year, and they were really colored up. Walk the dam, chuck streamers, and eggs, and you should have a ball
