Retrieves When Using Indicators & Balanced Leeches 

I had a fish hammer a retrieved indicator and took the fly on the way down.(October 15). This has happened more than once. I had a fly and indicator dangling out about 20 ft and was moving to another spot, float waking across the surface,the fly set at 8 ft and a chrome 8 lb buck attacked! I no longer believe you have to subtly move the fly with an indicator. It doesn't seem to scare them. I then started to aggressively strip the indicator, and immediately started to hook fish. Prior to this action I spent 15 minutes carefully moving the fly in 1 inch strips, and got nothing.

Nice vid. Glad to see someone doing well on Henry's lake. I've not been doing well there for the past couple of years.

Great info! Thanks!

All I ever think about when I see this lake is how you're the first to go if the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts lmao

Great video as always, might want to try a short strip-pause at various speeds. This technique has been deadly for me, especially when the other options aren't producing takes. Thanks Phil

My personal favorite way to catch fish in lakes. I do this all day at pyramid lake

Thanks Phil. Nice video on the action on Henry’s lake. I spend up to a month there every year in June.

Another beautiful video,good job ! 😉

Great little video.

Nice tip thank you 😊

Nice fish, I will try that method over next few days here in Aus. Mate what is the rod you are using please

Where can I buy those indicators used in this video?

Liked! May I ask what size hook you use? Thanks.
