We do differ that is for sure. I along with many others do not see indicators as a crutch, but more an aid, like synthetics, beads, FOAM.
Although I do not post much on rivers note I don't post much on stillwater as well, remember I am a guide and we get newbies all the time.
Going to end this on my half right here as I do respect you and your fishing but just saying there is more than one way to catch a fish and I make my income from teaching people through a company that does the same thing so as not to confuse new comers.
I do roll cast streams...lift, flip up stream. I do use indies on stillwater, but not much on moving water either.
Isn't fishing a smaller rod for trees and bushes a crutch? or maybe an aid.
A newbie I think it is very important they see the take. A dry not so hard to see, but that nymph. Whether it be an indicator or a big dry fly, the result is the same and I don't see big foam flies as a crutch.
I fish Millcreek all the time....a 7'9" and a 8'6" are rods of choice.
You CAN fish small streams and Creeks with a 9' rod many do it, but bigger rivers and stillwater with a 7'er is a different story. Why limit yourself?
Once again I am done here.
