I like using yarn indicators. They work easy to rig and they don't spook fish. I've been making my own with polypropylene rope and "o" rings I found you can purchase the small "o" rings on eBay.

I normally use a #10 Adams as a dry fly indicator. It makes less noise when it touches down on the water. And it's something I can see at a fair distance.

I'm kinda curious. You guys talk about strike indicators.. but then most are talking about thing that are large,harder to cast, and can spook fish. They also literally float the fly..
Strike detection is what I was alwasys concerned with. Instead of trying to see a strike while watching just your leader.
So for me that means a couple bb size balls on my leader (Orvis strike putty) so I can detect a strike or take. And I can keep using the stuff over and over.
Or a section of brighter colored leader tied In With my leader formula.
Or like piece of plastic tube like the ffp shop recommends. Why those big bobber things? Most of that stuff looks very annoying to use
