[quote Jazzperch1]great info[cool], the last 2 years ive been trying to nymph without an indicator and once you start learning it good it will work wonders and you will think an indicator is 2 easy for ya after that, but there are still times when i do use an indicator still on the weeb. i guess its a matter of personal preference.[/quote]
Interesting. I see it the opposite. Tight line is way easy (2-D) where indicator is more involved (3 D)
As you say a personal preference and that is why I posted this. Some see an indicator as cheating. Others see it as a necessary aid (me).
Tight lining is an easy way to learn nymphing...indicator not so much so I have to think that is why some don't like them.
Both catch fish. But I agree tight lining has limits.
There is much more to this as in weight and drag. If you all can, the November/December issue of American Angler is some great info.
As for me, I will stick with my Pop Top, Tingamabobbers, and Slip indys...mix in a nice dry fly.
Also remember, 2013 allows THREE flies. So try the Pupa, Nymph, Dry. [
