Don't Scare the Fish!

This is a great article that tells you the best way to not scare the fish that you're trying to catch!

It's amazing that some people spend all this time rigging up their gear and then due to the way the fly moves through the water, the fish are actually repelled by it!

They even include a nice diagram for the best way to rig your indicator.

Definitely learn something here folks...

"'Lower Sacramento Indicator Set-Up'

The following information and image are those of the proper indicator set-up for the Lower Sacramento River. The most difficult part of fishing the lower Sacramento is getting set-up with the correct gear. This river is stuffed with football shaped Rainbow Trout that have a wonderful food source. The only way to peak the interest of these fish is to make your fly seem as real as possible. Many of us think that our fly is doing exactly what its supposed to when it is underwater, but that isn't always the case. Much of the time the fly is either pushing or pulling the line through the water, causing the fly to look out of place. This, in turn, causes the fish to spook or move away from the feeding zone.
