A lot of clients ask me what the biggest secret to indicator fishing is and I tell them that it is using more split shot. Yeah your drift needs to be good but if you are not getting down to the fish then it doesn't matter how sexy your drift is. Trout live on the bottom of the river and if you aren't hitting the bottom every once in a while then you are probably not fishing deep enough.
Losing a few more flies on the bottom of the river will probably increase your chances of hooking a lot more rainbows and steelhead.
Remember more split shot next time!
Hope that helps!
