Beginner question #12,318:
So far, two books I'm reading on fly fishing do NOT mention strike putty.
But, Orvis sells it, so it MUST be worth having, right? :-) Seriously....is
this stuff ever really useful, or do other fishermen laugh quietly when they
see it being used?


I use the putty maily in VERY slow streams. There is a spring creek
near me that I use the putty in. You can make the indicator very small
so as not to spook the fish, and it doesn't take much to float the wee
flies I generally use there.
