Wow. Thanks Jesse. I really appreciate the kind words and the support. Feel free to check out the AZWanderings shop and put your order in there. I’ve been thinking about the hats and maybe some stickers but I’m going to have to foot a pretty heavy bill to get the hats done up right. I will definitely let you know once I get those made up. I sure am lucky to have an understanding wife. That truly makes all the difference. AZFAT is a great site and I know I have learned quite a bit just perusing those old articles. Thanks for sending guys to my site. It really means alot when I get nice comments like this. Thanks again.

Ben

I think it’s great that you have a better half that supports your interest and goes with you and I whish you success and adventure as you explore this great state and take in God’s country.I am a member of azflyandtie(lineshooter)and started fly fishing about 2 yrs ago and a lot of the members refer people to your site(like me). Is there a AZwanderings hat somewhere in the works?

Yeah, ironic that I just got back from the San Juan and used an indicator the whole time. MOST of the time I opt for the hopper…
Good stuff. Thank you.

Dry dropper is the ticket for small streams or anywhere the water is relatively shallow and the drifts are short. If you just want to nymph, just lose the dry and use good line management.

Indicators are great for heavy nymphing where you are adding a lot of weight or performing extended deep drifts.

Last year I discovered the Goddard Caddis, and they are some of the best indicators I’ve used in years.
