Lane, Yes and no, I tie up some sz 14 Peppers with a Fire orange head and no weight, these I drift in the film surface. I also tie them with a small gold bead and a couple of wraps of lead, these I fish both dead drift with a twitch and strip. I don't like heavy flies and seldom fish the bottom. In the film surface I generally fish my Stillborn Emerger, Al's Fly and several other small flies I use. --- Lane McKellar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
