Bill, I like the suggestion of the New Zealand strike indicator system, especially when nymphing. It’s my favorite indicator. It takes time learning how to use this system. But, I have found it is very stealthy for spooky fish, great for technical waters, easily adjustable, knotless and sensitive. One knock against the system is that with heavier flies the system will not stay a float. I have made a adjustment to the system when using heavier flies. I use a aquarium size tubing that will allow to add more wool to the system keeping the indicator a float. It works great.
I believe the reason when we out fishing the smaller streams recently, I had better results catching fish with this system compared to the indicator system you were using. Just my opinion.
