10 size hook
Imitating a single tiny water flea would be next to impossible, but how about a fly pattern that resembled a ball of zooplankton? Clusters of suspended zooplankton are fairly motionless in the water. This allows you to present blob patterns suspended under a strike indicator in much the same way as fishing a chironomid. The depth at which you fish the blob is key to having any success. Keep in mind that since zooplankton are photosensitive, it is best to fish the blob in the lower half of the depth zone during the day. For instance, if fishing in 23 feet of water, suspend your blob 12 to 14 feet below the surface. Also a great tactic for dead sticking when ice fishing in the winter!
