Isn’t the Dorsey indicator just a particular poly yarn essentially? Or is there more to it?
Ok Dorsey it is.The yarn doesn’t really matter. Using orthodontic bands is the part that matters. They are lighter than o-rings and stay in place better.
Have you tried making your own floatant? Flyagra is the nicest off the shelf floatant I’ve tried but you can do better if you make your own. I had a guide once tell me he uses Rain X on his yarn indicators, I haven’t ever fished yarn indis on my own so I’m not sure, but I feel like if I dip it in my home brew it’ll float like a cork for a long time.airlock 99.9% of the time but I always carry some poly yarn pre-treated in flyagra and o-rings. When you have to nymph super spooky fish on glassy water it makes a huge difference. Otherwise it's not worth it. Flyagra is a pretty essential component
