Fly Fishing Techniques; Strike Indicators
Fishing with a strike indicator is a delicate technique. Some say its cheating and even some fly fishing lake ban it.
I like many others disagree! Using strike indicators is a method that needs plenty practice. Things such as turning over the fly for a good presentation and the depth the strike indicator is set at all take time to master.
In this short article I hope to cover the basic technique of fly fishing with strike indicators and ultimately help you catch more fish.
Love 'em or hate 'em strike indicators are an essential part of fishing buzzers or nymphs static. And believe me they can increase your strike rate tenfold.
So how do you use them?
Strike indicators come in a few forms such as putty which is gently pinched over the line to mold it, yarn or wool is also used but the most common and east to use is little polystyrene balls which slip up the leader to your required depth and can be moved all the time allowing you to change the depth of the fly when needed.
Usually when fishing lakes or still waters I set the strike indicator to a depth of about two to three foot depending on the depth of the area I'm fishing (try keep it about a foot or two off the bottom or a foot above weeds) then cast by the weeds and really slowly retrieve the fly or leave it static and strike at the tiniest movement of the indicator.
Another method is the "clothes line". This is when you set up your leader with two droppers and on the point use a "booby" (lure with big foam eyes that make it float) as the point fly.
This is even better then the last as you will find the odd curious trout will inspect it and at time even eat it. As the booby is a fly it has a hook unlike the other indicators which can mean an additional few trout to your total.
All the methods mentioned should be used with a floating line preferably WF or SH. A fluorocarbon leader is most suited for this technique of fishing.
If you are starting or if you're new to this technique then it's probably best to use only one dropper and the booby as a point fly.
When using strike indicators it is better to use a team of nymphs but at first use one and then two droppers until you can manage that effortlessly then step up to three but remember the more droppers then the increase in the likelihood of tangles and also be prepared for two fish on your line at once as this happens from time to time.
Now you know the basics it's time to put the theory to practice! So get catching those fish!
Good luck and tight lines.
