Your Indicator Is Too Big

Choosing the right indicator is the first step to setting up and effective system. Balance between indy and weight is the key.

Oh, I am certainly guilty of using too much indicator for the weight of the fly/flies underneath. Another of the hundred things I need to improve.

I’m the opposite. I more often use too small of one and it can at times be sunk by the combination of flies and shot I’m using.

Interesting read. The "new" oros indicators are the bomb... for real. Worth their weight in gold. I only use the smalls, but paired with any nymph rig, I am confident in detecting a hit. Or for using something tiny i'll tie up a tiny polypropylene indicator.

For me, the depth of water, weight of the nymph rig and length of leader determine what size. Typically go back and forth between a 1/2 & 3/4. Use the smaller ones for light rig or really shallow fishing
