All the discussion of the Predator http://www.flyfishohio.com/Predator.htm that we are having, brings up another question. I tend to try to work down to bass and panfish. By that I mean that I use a floating line and a weighted fly. When the bass go deep and hug the bottom on me my, reflex is to think texas rigged worm. That is a tough presentation on a fly rod.

Now sinking the line and floating the lure as we do with the Predator seems to achieve the same result or better. So, besides the Predator, what other floating patterns can I use with my sinking line? Our spinning and casting friends have floating worms, tubes, flukes, grubs, and lizards. Do we have something like that in flies?
