There is no need for an indicator. As the flies are fished in a very short drift I can track them visually. During the drift the rod is lifted to keep in contact with the flies.

Thanks for taking us. Retiring next year and plan to go to Yorkshire just to fish my beloved Spiders in the water they came from.
Always enjoy your videos, which flies were catching ?
I’m curious how you see the fly when fishing spiders upstream? Do you use a sighter or indicator?
