Strike Indicator
Do many of you guys use a strike indicator. In the past I have only fly
fished with a relatively short amount of line out. My best days I barely
had much more line out than the length of my rod, so I really didn't need
one. The movement of the line was more than enough to indicate a strike
even if I didn't see the trout sip my fly off the surface.How about putting a few black has marks on the floating fly line with a
magic marker instead. It should make it fairly easy to see the movement of
the ling without that big fluffy float on the line. I actually do something
like that with dark colored braided lines when working bass baits on a slack
line. The black hash marks make it very easy to see a movement of the line,
letting me know I should set the hook. I don't see why the principle
wouldn't work with a flyline. Anythign worng with this. Would the fish
strike the hash marks like the sometiems strike a knot? Speaking of that,
What about a strike indicator. Do fish strike that sometimes?

| Bob, I know it's the wrong group but I have recently spooled up some red cajun
line, It seems to hold up quite good and is real easy to detect line
movement in windy and rainy conditions. I really like it, but it does tend
to develop line twist easier than some other lines I use, I keep at least
one reel spooled up now for those conditions when I really need to watch the
line. Respooling is not a problem as it only costs about $8.00 for 1450 yds
of line
