Chief, the standard theory is if the water is above 40, use floating lines and maybe a mid sink tip. When it gets colder, use a deep sinker or a floater with an indicator and a heavily weighted fly. I'm not sure I buy into that 100%, I would lean more to the sinking line over the floating. They are the fish of 10,000 casts when it comes to fly fishing.
When it comes to flies, I like marabou and bunny hair leeches, as well as freight trains and green butt skunks. When it comes to egg patterns, I like heavily weighted ones, because you won't see eggs floating near the surface, they roll along the bottom. In reality, I will fish either skaters (rarely hit a fish) or heavily weighted flies. I'm not much for mid level flies unless it is for early summer-runs.
Tight Lines,
