ive tied up a few of these thinking the same think. be sure to add some lead though as that spun deer hair is gonna make it float (also gotta get down to the fish)

You are right, it could be fished subsurface as well. I tied this up for a specific river where the fish are heavily fed with floating pellets.

Alright,
Gonna give me secret away since I don't use these anymore. When trout hang near a feeder, they often like a floater and it has to float just right.

My best pellet pattern is tied with a specific type of foam. Now that baseball season is in, go to Wal-Mart and get and one of the regular sized, soft, baseballs. These are made with a soft, cellular foam that is the exact color of the tan trout pellets. Cut to size and tie on...they are indestructible and will last as long as your thread.

A brown permanent marker will allow you to match the dark brown pellets.
Good luck!
