As for sinking you can counter that with a beadhead or if you don't want to use a bead Gehrkes makes a product called "Xink" that is used for wet flies.(Gehrkes makes "Gink" for dry flies) Yes, they will sink as soon as the fly gets soaked. Still I reccommend either using a bead or using a regular nymph hook.
