Still hot and dry. There might be some relief coming on Monday and Tuesday. A lot of the streams are reaching the danger zone, very low, and warm water.

Been enjoying my time off golfing, and remodeling a bathroom. It is not having to rush.

Back to fishing. I am planning on having a fire sale of some of my rods. I still have a lot that I would like to sell. I will send out a detailed email this week.

2023 Spring Swinging Wetfly-Streamer Trip (3 nights)

This trip is all inclusive, 2 1/2 days of guiding, lodging on the Little J and all food.

Agenda:

Arrive by 2:00 pm on day one, have lunch and fish until dark. Dinner and bedtime.

Day two and three, quick breakfast, pack a lunch, and go fish until dark. Dinner and bedtime.

Day four, hot breakfast, and check out by 10:00 am

Lodging On The Little Juniata

What type of bobbers do you use on a nymph rig? Did I say bobber, sorry, strike indicator.

There is no right or wrong. I use different ones, for different water situations. The foam stick-ons are good for small nymphs and slower water. The the round bobbers are good for steady flowing water, and the big bushy one for fast water.

Yes, there are a lot more types out there, puddy, New Zealand, and the dreading plaque of indicator lines. Bottom line, use what you feel confident with.

I have been using the Orvis CroQs this past year, and I like them. They do not deform the leader as much as the Thingamabobber due to the rubber ring. And they are small and float like a cork, pun intended.

If I am going to move the indicator up and down a lot as we work the water, I will use the New Zealand indicator. It is easy to adjust. Easy to recognize a strike. One thing I do not like is that fact you need tools to use, that's me. Tube, yarn and application tool. If you lose one item, oh well. I already lost the tool once. And I carry enough stuff around.

There is more I could add about indicators, this was just me two-cents on the issue.
