When it comes to strike indicators, there’s one simple rule I live by on the water: use the smallest indicator that will still keep your fly drifting at the depth you want. It sounds simple, but it makes a huge difference in how natural your presentation looks.
Too big and it splashes, drags, and spooks fish. Too small and it sinks or disappears the moment you need it. Dialing in that balance is where clean drifts and subtle takes really come alive.
In this quick highlight, Average Angler Life breaks down how to size your indicator based on water speed, fly weight, and the kind of takes you're expecting. Subtle takes? Go tiny. Heavy rigs or deep runs? Step up just enough to stay afloat. Here's the clip.
