This is a picture for smaller fish, I use carbon leader line up to 65cm long, size 2 and in the middle is the float/ casting weight can be full water or half water, then connect to main line. Thanks. I got lots of lures, but do `t have much fly left, so I am preparing to pile up. Any suggestion for colors, shapes, etc for SI?

If the position of the fly and bubble are reversed it will work better; the float at the far end. A weighted nymph on a 1 mtr dropper instead of a dry works on lakes. Fill the float with as much water as it will take and not sink. Cast out and draw back so that the nymph rises towards the surface ( just like a real nymph does) then pause to let the nymph sink and then draw in again. Tie the nymph dropper 1.5 mtr above the float

Remember me to your children and grandchildren when no one else but your family are catching fish.

Thanks...I do `t have children maybe will give a try when we settled but I will remember you... will try some casts in lakes around Canterbury, and update you.
