Hi Jean,
I fish it on a floater 100% of the time towards any type of lie in very slow bursts of 2cm-5cm strips. You can sometimes increase your speed but I haven't had too much success doing it. The nice thing with this fly is that with the increased speed of retrieve it doesn't spin. Best is to cast towards thick cover like logs or hyacinth & boulders (where I've encountered Tadpoles, Crabs and Mussels) and pull towards you as if the "thing" is trying to escape but slow is more! Have caught plenty on the drop too (probably where the Crab & Mussel idea comes into play) and that is why you need to be waky waky...
