For central PA, I almost exclusively use the Shenks White Minnow in size 8 down to 12. I tie it like Ed describes - no weight added to fly at all, but then pinch on 2 or 3 split shot about 4 inches ahead of the fly. I enjoy using this fly when my fishing partner is using nymphs because I'll cast just below him and nail a trout almost every time.
