That seems to be ideal. We occasionally got to four or five feet deep, but that's for really deep pools and we adjust back to a shorter length for the pockets. If you stay real deep you lose touch with the nymphs in shallower water or hang up much more frequently. I can add a piece of split shot to a rig and make it go deeper without moving the indicator. The best way to control depth is by tight line nymphing without a strike indicator. That's a method I'll use frequently but not as much on guided trips. We intend to cover that in a future installment. Great question! Thanks for asking. We seem to always find ourselves putting the indicator about three feet above the bottom fly.
