lol brandon if your picking up just as many fish then your probaly fishing the same water with that indicator as you were with lead... I will take my indicator off on fish that wont hit add a couple of split to slow down my flys and get fish to bite on the same thing just different speed also you can't hit some water and get in the zone with your indicator..... like in that video see how he is fishing that far side... what would he do if a fish was up a lil higher in the run and in that current? be hard to get that nymph down with the indicator....
I indicator fish a lot to now and concider it fly fishing otherwise im just drift fishing my fly rod

The thing i like better about fishing indicators is you snag up less,it's easier to cast and tell if you have a bite i do know a lot of people that use 1-3 split shot and 1 egg pattern because it works for them. it's all just personal preference i think But i guess like you pointed out there are certain situations where one works better then the other. another thing that determines what you catch fish with is confidence, it is a big factor. when i first started fly fishing steel i had trouble sticking to one type of fly/technique and i was wasting my time by constantly changing the type of water i fish and what i was fishing with. And once i started hooking them with the indicator rig i threw everything else out the window :lol:
yea brandon i did the change 500 times a day thing to when i first started with my gear stuff then i hooked up bobber fishing and was stuck on it for a while. wait till u land 100 fish or so on indicators and can do it all the time then its fun to change things just to see if you can. Only reason i will change how i fish now is that one way works better than others..
and I understand this bigsteel but dont try and say you can hit Every spot in a river EFFECTIVLY with only a waighted fly and mending?
.....flyfishers typically dont fish the same kind of water as gear fishermen......
Is that my Problem!!!
I'm usually in the trees either way! :lol:
