Great to see you out again Andy - Interesting indicator, what size are they ? Was out myself yesterday on my local River, the Grayling are playing hard to get and couldn't get though the Spotties !
I'm pretty sure these are the small size Oros, but I'll have to check. I'd have used the smaller version if I had any left. These were a bit overkill. Hope you have a great Christmas and new year!
I often tightline or indicator on small streams like that using drop shot.You hardly ever get stuck. Often i mostly use no6 shot & even a little Plasticine at times to smooth the weight out.Often even if you go up a tree the shot/Plasticine doesn't wrap round & normally comes straight out.Think drop shot sinks faster than a rig with tungsten beads also.Probably one or two no6 & tiny bit of Plasticine would be enough in the fastest deepest bits you fished.
It sounds like i might not have communicated very well what was happening there, all of the snag ups were on the dropper, not the point fly. All very unlucky, it really wasn't my day 😂
Of the commercially available indicators, i think the Oros is the best I've seen so far. For my full time indicator rig, I've changed again. There might be a video on that before the end of the season 👍
Thanks so much, Nick! If I do, I ignore it. I've said it plenty of times - if you're willing to go out in the middle of winter, in cold water, and in cold conditions, you catch them how you want! I used to find that the moaning purists tend nit to pick up a fly rod between October and May

Great to see, even though you had a trying day Andy. You’ve had a nice few fish as well so a pretty decent short session really.
Keep them coming!
Scratched my way around the place there, didn't I?
Thanks so much for the card, I hope Kelly and you have a great Christmas and new year!
Our pleasure and a very merry Christmas to you, Ieva and Snips
pink dub grub is my go to fly!
I noticed, bud! In the post today, sold be with you very soon!
You did well I thought… keep them coming Andy please
Thanks, David! A bit of a struggle, but better than sitting in the house, that's for sure!
Nice grayling Andy after your fly change lovely good to see you out though👍👍
Thanks so much! Amazing how often that fly change produces a fish, isn't it?
Lovely vid. I went out for grayling today to river Churnet and caught nothing in 3 hours 😂 cold and miserable
Thanks so much! What was the clarity like on the churnet?
@@IBandAndyFishing pretty clear, better than expected. Bit higher than expected as well

@@IBandAndyFishing Thanks Andy you and IB too.
Interesting indicators Andy, were did you buy them from?
These are from the good folk at Mallon and Green, Nigel. They're excellent indicators!

Andy do you prefer the Oros indicator to say your foam or a Dorsey, and what bead size would a small and medium hold.

Liked the video thanks. Do you get grief off the purists for using indicators - i.e. float fishing.

Indicator 😂 you mean float
Or bobber, or bung, or whatever word you want to use 👍
