Dragging a rake will help to clear a area to fish, but it will also stir the insects that live in the weeds and cause them to feed. As for depth I normally start about 1' and work my way down, with wieghted flys. I don't like to use split shot around weeds it just gets hung in weeds. Good luck post a pic of what you catch. And for a strike idicator I have have had very good luck with the Thinga ma bobs in 1/2" size they just need a good butt section of leader and they will stay where you put them.
