Try some small poppers on a 6wt or lighter. for bass. FUN Still some time for that to develop. 3

I took my brothers advise and tried the dry dropper using his tie a dry Mr. Rapidan size 14, a great indicator fly to which I suspended a pheasant tail nymph size 16 using about 12- 18 inches of 6X tippet. Attached to the dry on the hook bend with a clinch knot. I found that the nymph out caught the dry in a ratio of 4:1. It's always exciting when your indicator catches fish! I don't use this rig much because I don't like to spend the time to rig up or casting it, , but it sure can help to catch more fish. 5

New York / Re: old f--ts with flyrods« Last post by Bartman44 on Today at 09:11 AM »As others have stated, indicators are situational. If I'm fishing flat runs in less than knee deep water, not needed most of the time, I like a short line. If fishing in variable currents or deeper, I'll use them. I've tried the OROS indicators (small and extra small) and I like them alot because they are so easy to adjust up and down and even better, they are very easy to add/remove as I jump from spot to spot.
As Jon said, I use dry droppers quite a bit. Hang a nymph just behind your dry fly during a hatch and you can score on the nymph as well as the dry. You can also fish very shallow riffles with a dry dropper as the dry is less likely to spook a shallow fish. 10
