Fly Fishing Indicators Verses Tight Lining

Saturday I did a post on weather to use an Indicator or Tight Lining. I received a message recently concerning this subject, and I thought I would share the message with you guys. As stated in my original post I am having problems in detecting the hit most of the time when using the nymph. I really appreciate the numerous comments that have been sent my way and have proved to be extremely helpful in helping me understand the difference between a hit and snag. I will be making a trip in a couple of weeks to put all the comments to the test. I hope the following message will be even more helpful to anyone who is having the same problems I have uncounted with nymphing.

Using the Strike Indicator Or The Tight Lining Technique

Last week I made a trip to the Caney Fork and spent the better part of the day wading in the cool 57 degree water. I discovered that I had the air conditioner controls at my finger tips as long as I stay knee deep and above in the water. I discovered something else on this trip that I will never learn all there is to know about fly fishing for trout. My reasoning behind that statement is using the nymph effectively. As all you know using the nymph as a dropper below a dry is somewhat easy to master, but when it comes to using multipliable nymphs without the use of the dry is much more difficult for me. I know I lost numbers of trout in some seams and pockets that day. Why, because I either never felt the hit or my indicator was set at the wrong depth or I should have added some lead. I finally ditched the indicator and started tight lining using just one nymph and still had problems knowing when to set the hook. I did discover one thing through all of my trails and errors; most of my hits came at the end of the drift, when the nymph was in a stationary position floating. I landed my best trout with this method. So I would love a little input from you guys on your method or technique, when using a nymph with an indicator or just tight lining. All opinions are welcome!!!

Strike Indicators What is Your Favorite and Why???

Well I am sitting inside today watching it rain in 40 degree weather. I have my fly fishing vest near and working on rearranging my flies in one of my fly boxes. I was looking at some of my strike indicators I have been using and was wondering which is actually the most effective? I know there are different types of indicators on the market but which one do you think is the most effective and why. I personally use the stick on foam, but lately I have become dissatisfied with its use, because it tends to slips when casting. I know you are not going to be doing a lot of false casting when fishing with an indicator but you at least want one that will stay in place on the line. Of course my very favorite is the dry fly as the indicator, but there are times when the dry is not the choice. It would be a lot of help to me and hopefully to others reading this post if I could get some  of your opinions on strike indicator, just as your opinions was a great help on my last post concerning fly fishing knots.
