Ive been looking for a good strike indicator for fishing lightly weighted streamers or a couple heavy nymphs. I came across this pattern on the internet and thought it was a pretty good idea. Despite having two drawers full of foam I tend to not tie or fish foam. Don't ask why I just like tying with natural materials. But this fly is pretty cool so I tied some up. Its tied with a mono loop at each end so you can loop to loop it to your leader, than put your tag end through the back loop and tie on your droppers. Keeps the indicator in line with your leader and is easily adjustable for depth. And on the plus side it's quite capable of catching fish, lets see a "thingatwist or thingabobber" I mean, do that lol.

Nice streamers Wolfie should work great. Only thing I would do different is pinch down the barb and sharping the points up before tying

Gorgeous little stream Taco.

Nice shots Wolfie. That's awesome scenery alright.

What happened to the North ram. This is the first summer Ive fished out there in about 12years. Ive spent 3 days on the North ram this week and the fishing sucked bigtime compared to when I use to fish it.

I dont think it has anything to do with which way you fish. If your the type of person that goes and breaks the law or throw's your garbage on the ground when out fishing. than your the type that will do it anywhere.

Awesome pic Gil.

Nice cutty's Terrance.

Man thats a tough call birchy, about 14 inch.

Ya I hear you. Theres something about catching a RD brown that thrills me. Iv'e got just as big of browns out of the bow, but its not the same as nailing one on the Red Deer. Now getting into the backing with a hot rainbow, fun stuff. I have had plenty of chances to nail a few of those big boys on the same trip. But something always happen's, fly pop's out , break off, gets in the wood .

Some very cool shots there Rick. Thanks for posting, can't wait to see your fall shots.

Nice shots Steve. I remember seeing 1000's of those leopard frogs in just about every slough, pond, puddle when I was a young lad. Wasps have been crazy this year, I have a few nests to deal with in my yard but of course there nesting where its not easy to get at.

Looks like a brookie to me , awesome photo.

Too cool, could see myself spending hours there.

Thought I would do some trout hunting yesterday. Took my Dad and wife from the dam to RR 20. Lots of PMD and small caddis on the water, still couldn't find any browns looking up. So I ended up fishing streamers, I seem to do that a lot on the RD. Mind you I am on the oars all day so my fishing time is limited when I am floating. Still looking for a few good fly fisherman that want to do a float or 2 with me. I can't guarantee we will hook into a trophy brown but am starting to learn the habits of the brown in this river, so there's a pretty good chance of it. Managed to hook 3 nice browns all along the same bank and Dad had a big guy follow him in right to his feet before it saw him and split. I lost my first 2 but the third was solidly hooked. Yes I was happy in this pic even though I didn't look like it. I get stressed out when taking pictures, just want to get him back in safely. I refused to net the pike and walleye, so was glad to break in the new net on this fine brown. Brown was pretty spunky so didn't get a good shot in the net. Didn't get an exact measurement but net has a 24 inch on the side and he was a few inches past that.

Wow that looks like fun. Great shots Jeremie.

Thats a beautiful rainbow, nice colors.

Some nice photo's Kyle.

Really nice bow Jay.

Unreal clarity, very nice shots jksnijders.

You bet at times like hopper fishing or even nailing the bank with a streamer splating the fly down hard can attract a trout. Oops lol double post

Am with max on this one short drift lots of foot fishing , mostly because my wife is to petite to row so am stuck on the oars all day unless I can get a third person to come.

I took mine because of a magical day I had on stauffer creek. It was years ago when I was struggling to learn fly fishing on my own, there was no internet only books. So i was reading some Bob Scammell and he said june 12 is about right for hitting the green drakes on stauffer. So i spent a few days tying green drake patterns and hit stauffer on the 12 of june just like bob said . Well I must of hit the hatch on the perfect day because for about 3 hours that little creek just came alive with drakes popping and big fish everywhere. Every drift was either a nice brown or a swallow picking your fly up in the air 10 feet before dropping it. To this day it remains the benchmark I compare all other days too.
