Another thing occurred to me, about using Dan's big hi-vis attractors as a strike indicator for a small wet fly. The Juicy Lucy doesn't float well enough to "indicate" for a heavy beadhead. But it works just fine for little ones. Or for a small dry fly. I'm 63. Going on older than that. Just got diagnosed with "macular pucker." Which means I now have CSS as well as CRS. I now need to fish with a big, easy-to-see dry fly now no matter what. More or less at all times. I can still catch fish on a #20 BWO dry fly. But only because I noticed a dimple behind my big foam grasshopper. Or my #12 Juicy Lucy. That's just the way it is now. Or fish wet flies only and rely completely on line tip ESP. Like that old Wet Willie song: "Keep on Smilin." I'm still here. So I ain't complaining.
