I believe that the spotters role is just what it says in the name ie spotter
The spotter is there to aid in identifying fall of shot only.
The shooter is required to watch the flags to detect wind or mirage changes,  a spotter certainly should not tell a shooter if conditions have stayed or changed or when to shoot or when to hold fire all of these things are the shooters skill sets.

As Dave G points out and I am sure some of us remember we shot plenty of blind targets in the past.
In fact in some regards the old days of not seeing your fall of shot forced you to trust your gear and technique which was a good thing.

And before its asked 'Yes the fish are biting up here'  but that and the fact I have not shot fly for a few years does not mean I am not still following the event or that I may turn up on the range again one day. I will have a say on an open forum anytime I like and anyone who has issue with that can  F$@%  off hey ..  no names needed
