This was mid afternoon till about 7:00 pm. I was using a weighted #12 with peacock herl body, 2 brown and black rubber 'oars' with secondary short brown goose bot legs under the abdomen, natural colored pheasant tail lacquered shell. Also caught a few on floating tan foam boatmen similar to the pictures above but did better under the surface.

Awsome, the floating foam one is meant to be fished under the surface actually as deep as you like with either full or intermediate sink line
