Wow. That was one of the most informative posts I have ever read - ANYWHERE. *Takes out pen and takes notes*

I do a lot of chironomid fishing myself, and you pretty much nailed it, there's nothing more I can add. If you use indicators use the SMALLEST size you can get away with so that the fish doesn't feel it when it picks up your fly, and set at the tiniest unnatural movements of the indictor. Some of my biggest fish of '05 came lake fishing and setting the hook almost with spidey senses as my indicator would just barely pick up speed or move the "wrong way" at a terribly slow pace, almost unnoticable. Any time you got a weird feeling, just set the hook
