One thing I enjoy about TPO is the acknowledgment that no single tactic is sufficient . A good fly fishermen must be well rounded. Before I started Euro- Nymphing it was easy to transition from one tactic to another ( i.e indicator to dry fly ,just change the leader).Indicator to streamer take of indicator rig replace it with a short piece of 3x and your good to go. I used a fairly fast action nine foot rod that would cast a dry fly, indicator or streamer . I am concerned that the ten foot rods we use for euro -nymphing would be to flexible to cast dry flies and steamers properly. I participated in a seminar this weekend at Marlborough by George Daniel . His thing was dry flies as indicators fished on a very similar leader (28 feet) that I use for Euro nymphing .He still uses a sighter three pieces of different colored mono to enable strike detection when the dry fly sinks or is not visible. He talked about one and two fly dropper rigs . I have heard you refer to dry flies as indicators but assumed that you were changing from the long eruro leader to a traditional tapered dry fly leader. So my very long winded preamble boils down to this. How do you switch from one tactic to another? Do you change rods ? Have you used this dry fly indicator method with the long Euro leader. What are your thoughts on this tactic? Could you also thow a streamer on the end of the long leader ?
