It is a
great idea, and I wouldn’t even have to pay 5 bucks for these “speciality fly
indicators”.
Now all I
have to do is find someone who has bright line to toss.

Does anyone else have a use for old lines??"
If you have an old fluorescent orange line, snip pieces about an inch or so
long, pull out the thread core, and pull these sections into place on your
tippet to use as strike indicators. This technique is widely used in Colorado.
I saw some guys using three of these indicators spaced about 18" apart
while nymphing the Fryingpan River below Ruedi Dam. Using more that one gives
you an indication of the depth the nymph is drifting and also the direction of
the nymph in relationship to the indicator.
