It is a bit early here in Massachusetts and I usually get some time in on the rivers for trout until the bass become active. I like to fish deep for early season smallies and like lots of action. Perhaps this is because I tend to deaddrift my offering and "swing" them in the current. So I need to rely on the fly itself to impart the action, since I am only twitching it.

Anyway, I love the Conehead Combo (see it here as a former Fly of the Week)... I also have sequence photos and instructions on my own Web site.
