Stonefish, thank you. That gives me a lot of things to focus on. I tied up some Larva Lace gold bead head ones to try.



Looks like I may need to get some silver beads. Don't see any gold on yours. I have a lot of black beads though.

I do know I am gonna have to learn and practice better techniques after reading a lot about fishing for trout with flies. My focus has been on the top 2 feet of the lake. Mainly because I use a casting float and flies a lot to catch a LOT of trout. But that is when circumstances are perfect and a lot of fish are surfacing but are not very good for trying to throw a fly with wind in the face.
