Intermediate Indicator Fishing

These sessions are designed for beginner to intermediate fly fishers that wish to learn and improve their skills with indicator nymphing techniques. The course is a two-part series which includes two 3-hour classroom sessions and an on-stream session with TVFF instructors to assist attendees with applying the classroom learning. This course does not cover Euro Nymphing, which is a more advanced and refined skill for higher level intermediate and advanced fly fishers.

The curriculum includes:

• When to fish with indictors and various types for conditions
• Indicator fishing equipment (rods, reels, fly line, & leaders)
• Hardware (swivels, tippet rings, split shot) and proper use
• Indicator style casting (open loop, tuck cast, water load) options
• Mending on the stream (right, left, stack mend) for dead drifts
• Fishing multiple flies and rig setups
• Setting up for the right depth with indicators, casts, spit shot & weighted flies
• Finding fish in trout lies (mixing lanes, obstructions, banks)
• Adjustments for stillwater fishing, techniques and presentation
• Tools and approaches (anchoring, chutes, wind, trolling)
• Setting the hook, fighting the fish
• Setting up at the right depth; use of longer leaders and use of break-away indicators
