Thanks Guys. One of the people is a BFTer that wants to make the transition to Fly Fishing but the economy and family come first, so I am giving him a large assortment.
The problem I see with a dry is as Mac said, the bubble splashing, but also the line BEHIND the bubble wants to sink as well unless you play it short. You can greaser up the line to the fly.
I tried using a reel loaded with mono for my deep nymphing figuring I could go any depth that way. But like I said, the line from rod tip to bubble sank as well. Makes it tuff to set hooks.
I agree Dry Rod that most the spinner flies I have seen are of the Tube shape...woolly buggers. But allot use Nymphs as well.
