Whether a yarn strike indicator or a bobber is better depends on various factors, including fishing conditions, personal preference, and the type of fish being targeted.
Visibility: Yarn indicators are often preferred for their low visibility and sensitivity. They are subtle and less likely to spook fish in clear water conditions. However, in rougher or choppy water, they may be harder to see compared to brightly colored bobbers.
Sensitivity: Yarn indicators are generally more sensitive than bobbers because they offer less resistance to the fish when they take the fly. This can result in better strike detection, especially with subtle takes from cautious fish.
Versatility: Bobbers come in various shapes and sizes, offering versatility in different fishing situations. Larger bobbers can support heavier flies and can be more visible in turbulent water. They're also easier to adjust for depth compared to yarn indicators.
Durability: Yarn indicators can become waterlogged over time, losing their buoyancy and requiring frequent drying and re-treatment with floatant. On the other hand, bobbers are often more durable and resistant to water absorption.
Ultimately, both types of indicators have their strengths and weaknesses, and the choice between them depends on the angler's preferences and the specific fishing conditions. Experimenting with both types can help anglers determine which works best for their needs.

Hi, just a few comments from NZ angler. The best wool for this is picked off a sheep paddock fence as it has the original lanolin infused in the wool and this makes it float all day. The second thing is that you need to trim your float to a nice small indicator, I even use a moustache comb to fluff up the fibres. The third thing is that a white indicator will not work for you in all the light shining off the water. It might pay you to change to green, orange or red or a mixture. The mistake we often see are huge lumps off wool being shot out into the river followed by a big splash and scattering of fish. In some of our deep pools we have to fish with fifteen plus feet of line under the indicator and this makes for some interesting casting! Cheers mate. Harera...

Trying to noodle through how we could make this an adjustable system somehow but it’s making my head hurt . The ease of adjusting any style of indicator up or down (including wool) without the fixed ring/hinge (to deal with water with lots of depth changes) may outweigh the advantage of having the hinge. Will definitely put this into practice.

Thanks for a great video. two questions- do you use floatant on the wool? does the weight of the tippet ring rule out switching to a dry fly with that leader if BWOs or midges start hatching? Don't know if you mentioned it but I am guessing that wool indicator is more sensitive to soft takes as you will get in the winter fishing midge nymphs.
@redsflyshop

Hey Joe - awesome video, thanks for sharing ! One quick question: if you are using unweighted nymphs on a single fly rig, where would you attach your split shot? 10-14 inches above the fly ? And secondly, if you were using a double nymph rig with a dropper, where would you attach split shot in that instance? Thanks again, tight lines !
@redsflyshop
@redsflyshop 3 года назад
Great questions, I rarely use split shot but you can attach it either 12-18" above the top fly for suspended rigs (fly up off the bottom). I would run a triple surgeons knot above the top fly about 12-18" above it. If you are "drop shotting" you can run the shot on a line below the flies and let it drag the bottom. This has to be a pretty light setup as the yarn doesn't tend to lift and rebound when the shot taps.
@allkite
@allkite 3 года назад
@@redsflyshop Joe, you're a legend. I assume the triple surgeons is so the shot doesn't slip down ? And for a double nymph rig, would you still run the shot 12-18" above top fly ? I've seen some people put the shot between the two flies. Thanks !
@OdinsChosen208

big thing i noticed in stillwater with yarn is theres no resistance from the yarn when a fish takes it so they dont spit it immediately like they do with really buoyant ones also the yarn is so sensitive to everything its just the best and its not close also not as much tangles if any once youre used to it and dont have to keep your casting loop so open

Great concept for slow edge, Joe! It would be enlightening to compare this with drop shotting on deeper runs. I can see the pluses for both methods there.
@redsflyshop
@redsflyshop 3 года назад
That's a great question, this NZ setup works very well for holding long quiet drifts in softer water with complex currents. The Yarn seems to "hold the drift" longer. Drop shotting seems to work well in areas with swifter currents where fish are holding exclusively in the bottom half of the water column (which is slower).

Absolutely! The way this indicator lands you can feather it down over the top of the nymph and it flutters down right on top of the fly... so... in pocket water you can land your fly and the indicator in the pocket rather than having the indicator in one current speed and the fly in another.

I rarely run more than 7' below an indicator, you just lose so much control beyond that. Give it a shot, I can't speak to the effectiveness of that however. I imagine landing fish could be tricky. I would try to set the rig up so you can reel it through your top couple of guides.

Yes, that would work just fine. You'll just want to make sure you are running a fairly long leader to make the heavier weight of a #7 line doesn't negatively affect drift. Heavy lines are thicker, therefore cause more drag. I would keep this indicator a minimum of 4' from the fly line.

You can do it a couple of ways. Traditionally you can put a small tick of shot above your flies, or if you "drop shot" you can hang the tag off the bottom.

What size tippet ring please?
@redsflyshop
@redsflyshop 3 года назад
Large is best, it allows for the most freedom to drop the tippet. redsflyfishing.com/products/rio-tippet-rings?_pos=1&_sid=fee661765&_ss=r

so how would you setup for heavy nymphs?

More yarn, or a 3/4" Thingamabobber. If I'm running a #4 Tungsten Stone, bobber, but most of my #6 Stones will float under yarn if you take the time to set it up right. It just tracks so much better than a "bobber" IMO. Just takes some practice getting used to rigging them up, combing them out, and managing the floatant amount, mending, etc. Once you get good at this.... big advantage.

If you dont put floant on thes they are useless. First time I used the NZ indicator. The third case I looked and the indicator was no where to be seen. Pulled in the line and looked like a a blob of wet wool. SO PUT FLOATANT ON THIS. I have looked at dozens of thes video about the NZ indicator and only one ever mentioned floatant. USE FLOATANT

Yes, floatant and if you have a small comb that will enhance the floatation. Bit of a learning curve to it.
