Thanks for the tips. I can see the value using indicators but I also see the di
vantages. I have been breed to only look at the indicator when nymphing which in itself leads to laziness in my opinion. I'll just have to practice a bit and become more aware of what is happening with the water and the fly.
On another note. From the research I have done it appears my 9 footer 5w rod isn't really suited for the kind of fishing I like to do. Which would be rivers that require hiking etc that usually have a lot of brush. A 9 foot pole becomes frustrating when trees and such wrap themselves around the tip.
So, I guess I'm in the market for a shorter/lighter pole.
Was looking at some 7 1/2 to 8 1/2 ft in the 3/4 weight range.
Are there better options?
