I suggest using an indicator. It allows you to vary the depth to the
weight and the fly. I like the Fish Pimps. To minimize drag try tying on
a very long length of tippet, right up to the indicator. You'll have to
cut back your tapered leader and effectively ruin it for pretty casting,
but it really helps with drag.

Strike whenever the indicator so much as pauses.


I have some yel foam pinch-ons. I'll give'r a try.

Those don't work very well, IMO. They don't have enough buoyancy to hold
up heavy weight, which sometimes you need. In a "pinch" you can put on
more than one.

I sometimes use small pinch-on indicators when I'm fishing a tiny dry
fly in difficult seeing conditions. It helps to spot the fly (my vision
isn't good), but it's annoying when the fish hit the indicator instead
of the fly. :-)

The Fish Pimps my choice. The only problem with them is that they tend
to wear out and come off, littering the stream. Use fresh ones. They're
pretty cheap.

Polypropylene yarn works well, too. It's very sensitive, but it's harder
to move up and down and more difficult to tie on. Tends to kink the
leader when you move it. Also harder to cast in the wind.

And if that isn't nearly every drift ... add some weight to your rig ...
you want to tap the bottom now and then and a beadhead won't get there alone
in many cases ...

It's a delicate balance between having enough weight to get to the
bottom, but not so much weight that you get lots of "false hits" and
hang ups. Right on the edge of those two conditions is where you want to
be. Sometimes it requires a lot of monkeying around with the weight..

Lacourse

Wasn't he the annoying ass that used to post periodically on this newsgroup
He wanted the world to pay homage to his tiny intellect and that mass of fat
between his ears
If you did not agree w him nor respect what he perceived as his great
picatorial contributions he would try to find a way to put a person down as
a way of discrediting them and what they had to say

However I do believe that he has passed on
At least into the internet netherworld from where he was spawnd
I have not seen his posts in recent weeks - nor do I miss them
I do believe that he was swept away on a raging and torrential river in
Maine never to return
I can picture him hesed downstream - Bye Bye Davey!

The same torrent also took another honkie who aleways posted political and
non flyfishing topics on this a flyfishing newsgroups w/o the decencey of
going OT

The air is noticably cleaner na dmore clear on ROFF and the topics are
certainly more fishing related and viable to a fly fishing newsgroup.
There had been noticably less flaming also - certainly on my part -

At least for the last few weeks
Lets hope that it continues.
This is a far more informative group

Sincerely

Fred

I just received this from a friend:


Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of
battle.
Live simply,
Love generously,
Care deeply,
Speak kindly.......
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...
It's about learning to dance in the rain.

I do not now how this pertains to this thread but I am certain that in some
ways it does
It is not easy to do this esp w some on this list but perhaps w some of
those that have recently departed - It will be easier

Has anyone used these rods? How do the fish? How do they compare
against Winston and Sage? What are the cosmetics of the rods like?
Awesome cosmetics?

I wouldn't call telling someone to disappear and then reappear
with less of a prick attitude under a different alias a lesson
in manners.

Puleeze! LaCourse just wants notbob to kiss his ring. ...

It doesn't have anything to do with Louie. The anonymous prick
calling itself notbob has been a rude, bilious crank from some
of its first posts to roff. It'd be better off changing its name
and starting over.

Liar.

Smoke a joint, pop some pills, drink a pint of your favorite cheap
booze, and call me in the morning.

LaCourse is a pretty good nymph fisherman (unlike you), but I'm afraid
he's like a legend in his own mind.

OR, like anyone else he appreciates a "thank you" for taking the time
to answer the man's questions.
