Matt,

the Morris and Chan book is bound to be good. I can also recommend Dave Hughs book, "Strategies for Stillwater". It has a very good section on gearing up for lakes. It helped me get started on lakes.

In BC they often fish deep with a dry line by using a long leader, upto 25 feet. Of course it takes time to get the fly down and your retrieve has to be slow in order to keep it down. You can also weight your flies or you can use split shot to get the fly down faster and to help keep it down.

Hooking up with someone to fish with is a good way to go, too. You might also check the library for some videos to help you get started.

ACE
