Darn! Now that you mention it - I'll bet a san juan worm might have worked!

Do what it takes, Kevin. The foam on a strike indicator isn't any different from a foam made fly. At least you're not using a worm. :-P

Final question - would there be anything wrong with tying an orange foam and/or yarn strike indicator on a dry fly hook? I've seen it in fly catalogs before, but never thought I'd have an occasion to use it.

For the sake of learing from the wisdom on this list, I would like to know what y'all would turn to in the following "hypothetical" situation:
You make it out for a mid-winter fishing trip on a very nice, 40-something degree day. Partly coudy day, clear water stream, water temp in the high 30's to low 40's. Very few bugs coming off, all small mayflies.
About mid-day you move one fish and catch another nice 'bow on a double nymph rig. A little while later you have repeated rises to your orange, foam strike indicator by a very nice trout, followed by an actual take of the same strike indicator by what appears to be the same trout.
Now assuming you have no flo-orange foam flies in your box, what do you do to catch this obviously active and interested fish?
I would be happy to supply additional details for this fictional story if it would help with your answer.
Cheers,
Kev
