I normally work upriver when I'm nymphing. When using an indicator, once the fly is downstream of you, the fly tends to go along faster than the indicator, thus your indicator won't pause or dunk when a fish takes the nymph, since the pause of the fish take, creates slack in the line rather than pulling on the indicator.
