If you use surface flies then you don't use an indicator. I use them because the takes on nymphs are very soft and subtle, at least with trout. You set on any motion or drag on the indicator. Some nymphers use nymphing lines where the tip is colored which sort of acts like an indicator as well.
I have used thingamabobbers as well, they work nicely.
If you fly fish and are interested in catching more fish, I strongly recommend learning how to nymph. Trout eat about 95% of their diet subsurface. Yes, dry fly fishing is fun and dramatic but knowing how to nymph is the difference between catching 2 fish and catching 20 fish.
By the way, salt water fly fishing is a totally different animal. I doubt you would use indicators in salt water but I've never fished salt.
