Q: What are fly fishing indicators used for?
A: Fly fishing indicators are small, buoyant tools that help detect strikes when nymph fishing. They act like a visual bite alarm, allowing anglers to track their drift and react instantly when a fish takes. Using the right indicator improves both strike detection and presentation.

Q: What types of fly fishing indicators do you sell?
A: Drift Outfitters offers a wide range of indicators including foam, yarn, air-lock, and Oros-style designs. Each type has unique advantages — from highly visible foam indicators for turbulent water to subtle yarn indicators that land softly for spooky fish.

Q: How do I choose the right indicator for different conditions?
A: Match your indicator size and buoyancy to the water depth and weight of your flies. Large foam indicators work well in fast, deep currents, while smaller, lightweight options excel in shallow or clear water where stealth matters.

Q: Which brands of fly fishing indicators do you carry?
A: We carry trusted indicator brands like Oros, AirLock, Loon Outdoors, and New Zealand Indicator. These brands are known for their visibility, adjustability, and staying put on your line.

Q: Are your indicators reusable and environmentally friendly?
A: Yes, many of our indicators are reusable, and several brands use eco-friendly materials or designs that reduce waste. Adjustable indicators can be repositioned without kinking your leader, making them both practical and sustainable.

Q: How do I attach and adjust a fly fishing indicator?
A: Most indicators attach easily by sliding your leader through or securing it with a locking post or screw cap. Adjust your indicator’s position up or down the leader to match your desired drift depth and maintain proper contact with your flies.
