This past week I used a "Sacandaga Bomber" (size 10 hook, white/orange
body, sparse hackle around body, dense hackle and yarn behind eye) as a
strike indicator. Attached was four feet of 7X tippet and a beadhead
nymph. This worked very well with the smallies in the Sacandaga River
(Hope, NY). Several times they did strike at the SB but only one
inhaled it. I have used the foam and yarn indicators, but prefer a dry
as the indicator.
