I have seen this consistently in the summer. The fish are very shallow out in the middle of the lake. I would often troll in my float tube: throw out a long cast and paddle slowly. I was using a floating line, so the fly couldn't have been more that 12-18" deep. Big bluegills would practically jerk the rod out of my hands!
