Many years ago when I showed Howard West, an executive with Scientific Anglers, how I made these with old fly lines. He was very excited and offered to build a hollow version and put them on the market as Scientific Anglers Indicators. Today the original Scientific Anglers Indicators are no longer available. We now have the Murray’s Fly Shop Indicators, which are almost identical to the old SA Indicators, and they have become my favorite indicator because they preform many invaluable angling functions in addition to detecting strikes. Some of these include being a depth gauge when swing nymphing, tippet locator when using a back up drift streamer technique, fly-locator when fishing midges on long leaders, depth gauge when using the escape streamer technique and strike detector when using a dead drifting nymph technique. Many of you who have taken my “On the Stream Schools” will be familiar with these ways of using the Scientific Anglers Indicators.
