I shall first fish these in the surface film as emergers.
Then I shall sink them and let them drift just under the surface.
After that I shall sink them and retrieve them very slowly.
Finally, I shall sink them and strip them in with a strip--pause--strip rhythm.
The rest is up to the fish.
Jim, nicely done.
