Does anyone ever take a floating fly pattern and put split shots above it to sink it? Or, do you tie flies that look like underwater prey, but float for the purpose of having it trail ABOVE the splitshot as it slides along the streambed? I have occasionally weighted foam emergers and caddis patterns and fished it that way. Can't say is it is any more effective than other methods, but you can catch fish this way and when you are bored, you'll try anything. Thoughts?
