Indicator fly fishing for California steelhead and trout with spey and switch fly rods

TOP TIPS FROM PROS ON INDICATOR STEELHEAD FLY FISHING

The bubble will get you a frown on many western waters yet at the end of the day the numbers will turn a frown into amazement. One of the most beautifully styled steelhead spey casting indictor fly fisherman in the world can be found pictured above. Breaking new ground with a style all his own. Timothy Horner and a handful of his local waters. Be sure to check out the Irideus steelhead flies for 2013-2014 they are sure to bring you luck! The Irideus 11.6 6/7 spey and switch fly rod is an industry best. The price is what we as steelheaders feel is a top end. But lay the 6/7 down next to the industry bests then cast the rod against them. Time on the water will make a champion every time. TRUST IN IT!

One way to start out steelhead and trout fishing is with a small float or indicator bubble. These can be casted easily on the Irideus spey and switch fly rods to great distance. Run an 8 ft leader from the float using one fly or two fly nymph rigs. The novice fisherman will have a greater chance of hooking fish using the indicator fly fishing method. The Irideus 6/7 11.6 foot switch fly rod has proved to be a true champion using this approach. Standard fly rod people will also hook more light biting fish like steelhead and trout doing this.

We also will use large dry flies running a smaller nymph 18 inches off the back of the dry fly. This will bring more explosive strikes and offers a more natural approach to the water.

You will be able to cast to fish from distance spooking less fish....this is reason enough to give switch and spey fly rods a shot!
