Question on tandem flies

[riverdog]

There is no best. My advise is to experiment with all aspects of fly fishing and find what works best for you in various conditions. Don't worry what others do. I haven't used strike indicators for years fishing for trout and salmon. I just don't find they improve my catch rate at all in the vast majority of situations. Most strikes at least in moving water really aren't so subtle that you can't sense them. I know most on here use strike indicators but my suggestion is to try to learn without them. Just one more thing to learn initially. You can always learn to fish with them later if there are some situations you find picking up on strikes difficult. Why walk with a crutch if you can run faster on your legs[laugh].
