When I use the sinking line floating fly technique I tend to stick with flies with a diving collar. The Dahlberg Diver is the grandfather of this style of fly but when you strip in the fly, it really moves toward the bottom. A foam bodied diving fly will actually work for more than 20 minutes which is about as long as a deer hair bug will last fishing this way. A floating nymph would be a more subtle approach but I'm sure it would work as well. The dragon nymph is big enough to get the bass's attention when suspended in all the "goo" found in a typical warm water lake. ( I like getting back in the thick stuff!)
Often wrong, seldom in doubt!
