It's simple. If the fish takes it then it's a fly, if it takes one of the PTN's and you see it go down it is being used as an indicator. It isn't the fly that dictates whether it's an indicator or not, rather how it is fished.

Looks great to me. Unsinkable, and good as a dry or a carrier. I'd be happy to use it.

Craigie,, You don't need a bouyancy aid when fishing this, if you fall in the drink just grab hold of it, you wont sink.......
