Been fly fishing for 6 months now and I really love it. I'm getting better(ish) every trip out and learning all the time. I'm catching a reasonable amount of fish with the lure fishing I do at my local fishery but i've come to realise how limiting just fishing the lures is and really want to fish imitative style buzzers and nymphs.
I've tried it a few times when quiet on the lures but i'm not really confident with it and am missing most of the takes. I know it takes years or maybe even a lifetime to get good at it and i've been wondering whether to use a sight bob or indicator for a couple of months while hopefully gaining confidence and getting better at fishing buzzers and nymphs.
What I don't want to do is become reliant on the bob or indicator in the long term to detect bites as I think fishing without them is for me a purer, more enjoyable sport. What I also don't want is to become frustrated and dispirited and just go back to my trusty lures.
I've gone back and read most of the threads since this site started and have seen there's a lot of different views on the bobs or indicators. Would appreciate your views and any tips on fishing buzzers and nymphs.
