I've tried every indicator at one time or another inc yarn. In fact I would say I'm a sucker for anything new that comes along. 99.9% of nymphing now, I do not bother with any. My standard approach is floating line (obviously), roman moser braided connector and a two-tone butt end end thread furled leader with a tippet ring at the business end. I use Dilly Wax on last 8" of fly line, connector and a foot or so of leader. This will float all day and has enough contrast and length for me to see anything that touches my fly.
Now to that 0.01%, I recently bought some neon indicator wax, only got to try it a few times this year....chances are it'll end up in in a box somewhere as the about setup really is perfect To add, a lot of 2019 fishing and the little I got out this year was using tenkara rod - similar approach to the above, tenkara or level line to tippet. Plenty of wax where needed - 6/8 ft up. Last edited by whelzer; 15-10-2020 at 21:45. |

Thanks for that. What length is the furled leader. How do strikes show themselves. And approximate length of leader. Is it a flat leader you use.
What size is the inside diameter of plastic tubing when using the New Zealand yarn indicator. Last edited by Mach Two; 23-10-2020 at 20:25. |

I use furled leaders from 4ft to 6ft depending on the rod, I get them from the crowd below - mods I've no connection other than being a happy customer for at least 5 years. I use Stroft ABR for tippet, flies in use dictate the diameter. Tippet length can be any where from 10ft to 3ft depending water depth and flow.
I only fish upstream either straight up to about 60 degrees max. Takes are seen by any odd movement in the floating section (butt to line). It will pause, dart to a side or shoot forward. Don't bother NZ yarn, imho our trout (at least big ones) are just too spooky and skittish to have something this unnatural slung at them.... https://loopyleaders.co.uk/ |

Oliver Edwards has some nice (but very boring) videos on these techniques, pretty sure most are on YouTube. I have an superb book Dynamic Nymphing which covers every known technique, of which there a lot if you want to get serious. Jeez I'd to go fishing right now....hopefully come 1st March we can! |
