For fly fishing strike indicators, the main choices are foam, yarn, and pinch-on/toothpick styles.
Switch away from strike indicators if fish are feeding on the surface, if you need a more natural dead-drift without visible hardware, or if wind and current make the indicator hard to control. In those cases, a dry fly, euro-nymphing setup, or streamer presentation may work better.
