      I just saw this on the web and thought this sounded like a cool idea. They are easy to make and I plan to try this. Check out the Rio product page and watch the video that is at the bottom of the screen. Let me know what you think.

      I have this RIO two toned indicator on my euro nymphing setup but NOT the slinky indicator. The slinky indicator is the “French” indicator system. I’m Czech you know. And you know how I feel about the “French”.

      Seriously, for those that are trying Euro-nymphing, getting your sighter or indicator setup has been an experimentation for me. There are many ways to build your sighter. I’m on my fourth iteration. Euro-nymphing takes more “feel” than using an indicator. Check out the Euro nymphing info in the FATC Fly Shop Tips section of our web site.

      I,too, Czech nymph and have tried colored mono. (Note: Czech nymphing technique originated by the Poles! I guess they were fishing Poles!!) My limited experience is that if you are doing it correctly feel is more important than the use of a colored mono leader portion. I have felt takes w/o any indicator movement.
