Dorsey Indicator Instructional - Polypropylene Yarn Bobber - Nymphing - High Hole Scramblers

For this video, we show ya how to make our favorite indicators for fly fishing. The Dorsey Indicator is lightweight yet it can hold heavyweight. I use polypropylene yarn, thread, and 3/16in orthodontic elastics. Give it a try!

New Zealand wool indicator method using unwashed wool more simpler to construct than this method , all the best, David.

Where do you get your macrome yarn?

[@johnwright4781]

What are you using to brush out the yarn?

[@devinbrita8557]

Don’t know about the video, but I’ve always just used a soft bristle brush that you can get from any hardware store... the kind that you you can use for cleaning grout or other small areas

Have you ever used a new Zealand indicator ? 100% simpler than this

[@davidpowell8994]

I've used New Zealand indicators and found this to be an even better system

[@highholescramblers]

Yep and great point. I like both systems but the NZ is a little easier.

Yarn indicators were around before Dorsey was born.

Can’t adjust the NZ to depth w/o taking it off and resetting it. The “Dorsey” is a better option
