    If So What Fly Works?
    That's like saying, "what jig works?" . As Kevin said, a Clouser Minnow is a good choice because it has similar motion to a jig. Other streamer patterns may also be a good choice. I would try the same colors and sizes you would normally use for jigs. I've been told that white Specks (we don't have them in Florida) feed almost exclusively on minnows, small fry, etc. while black Specks in addition to minnows, small fry, etc. will bite insects so insect fly patterns may work also. Best of luck.

    Here are a few examples (links below):
