I'v had trout time and time again setting at the head of a deep pool just under the current. I can see them down there but can't get a fly down deep enough fast enough to draw there interest. The current up top always sweeps the fly down stream b-4 it has a chance to drop. Casting it to far above the head of the pool just causes it to go to the bottom and hang up so I need to cast into the current and as it flows into the pool the fly needs to drop into the deep part quick. I'm headed to work in a few, when I get home I'm gonna tye some sort of copper john's to try. I wanna avoid split shot, I'm not saying that I may not still go to that but I don't like that method.
What I would like would be any other suggestions you guys may have on flys or methods...

Thank you,
Tim
