C&D ... the coneheads pictured on the rports page are actually fairly light and I'll fish them on a sinktip just as I would an unweighted fly when I want just a little depth w/o having to manipulate the line anymore or switching lines. Two or three casts and the timing change is ually down and casting just fine ...

Now, when you go to the lead eyes and such, it's a different story. Perhaps a little too close to your moniker. I rarely fish the leaded flies (on a floater) unless I'm dead drifting from the boat covering lots of water.

As Salmo said, it's a personal preference and takes some playing around. Even in flyfishing, it's nice to have as many options as possible in your arsenal ... if you want to consistently catch fish anyhow
