I'm not trying to drag the controversy regarding the use of strike indicators over to the fly tying board but I'd like to see if you all could help me out.

I've fished with those football shaped indicators on a few occasion after friends have raved about how good they are. I personally haven't had much luck with them but I did notice an interesting phenomenon while using them. I had more fish hit the indicator than the nymph I was trolling with. Now for the rest of the story, sometime in the past year I saw a pattern on the WEB for tying a fly that looked remarkably like one of those football shaped indicators. Problem is I don't remember where. Anyone else seen this, heard of it, or have any info regarding it?

If not, what other fly patterns do you like or recommend as an indicator?

Thanks in advance.
