Couldn't agree with you more there lardy kev - it's a personal decision.
Personally I've never used an indicator set up (been tempted.....) but then again I
have used a dry fly as an indicator for takes on a nymph on stillwater and rivers so I
suppose my ethics could be equally as questionable as someone (for example) fishing a bloody great size 8 lure under an indicator

Ban them from Haddo - who suggested that

Every trout fishery has to make a balanced decision on what does and does not constitute fly fishing and what can be classified as legitimate. For what it's worth I think the nymph under the indicator (wooly or fly like) has it's place amongst other tactics which might have been frowned on a dozen or so years ago (Czech nymphing for example) and in time those inexperienced anglers who may employ the method will go on to find other tactics. Or maybe not
