If I'm able to fish close-in, less than 25'-30', I'll skip the indicator (or suspender) and tight line, high stick nymph. I have a bright mono section in my nymph leader that serves as sighter or visual indicator. When I need to fish farther out on bigger water, I'll use a suspender style indicator (eg, Thingamabobber). Its good to be comfortable with both methods and be able to adapt to conditions.
