Man, Steven, some of your flies actually look too good to be tossing
them into the water only to have a big toothy fish chew them up, lol!

wrap entire hook in wire for some weight not too much..

this would be fished in medium depth water on floating line...22 degree lol incline.. so too much weight doesn't help...

dead drifting with the wind using oars to hold you slow works well..
