Another favorite is a woolly bugger fished just off of the bottom.
Hopefully the pond/lake will not be much deaper than 25 feet. It
would help if you knew the depths of the lake. You want to fish just
off the bottome - two or so feet.



Try a HiSpeed Sinking line, short leader, and a foam body "wooly bugger"
..... the British use "Boobies" tied with foam balls and marabou in the same
way

let it sink all the way to the bottom ... the fly will be up off the bottom
.... now apply Tim J's retrieval prescription, but he left out a couple
needed 'waits' ... in his hurry

this is one style of fly fishing where having a 'buddy' might be nice ...
hell, a buddy, some booze, a metalflake painted gaudy bass boat, a portable
TV, maybe even a 'clave' ... anything to use up some time and give something
to think about until the next twitch G

but it does catch fish :-)
