A while back I was asking for some advice on Fishing Nymphs and gleened some
really good info out of the posts that came up about how to fish and where
in the water column, etc.
I have been looking around since then for info on use of strike
indicators... I hope to get some Fish Pimps in my shop.
But I came across the following article that I thought was great and maybe
some other folks could use as well. It also cleared up a lot of mystery for
me around tying on an indicator and how they should work. I tried the
suggestion of using a wulff as an indicator but had a bit of a hard time
keeping it from going under too quickly.
I am going to tie a mess of these up tonight but using a blob of puffy
fabric paint in the center instead of the indicator yarn.

But as an added note, When I got to the hardware store I found the 5/16
o-rings to be a bit bigger than I thought they should be. I got a bunch but
also picked up some of the next two sizes down.
There was a bunch of other cool stuff on this site too. The author is
apparently a big fan of "Trout" by Dr. Bergman. One of my favorite books...
but one that I can never get through without drifting off to sleep.
*grumble* I wish I could retain everything in that book in my peewee sized
brain.
