When you fly fish continue to use droppers like you have been with surfcasting. A Rays fly is the perfect imitation for silversides no matter what the size. Olive over white clousers can imitate shrimp, silversides, mummies and other wider baitfish. Blue over white decievers are good to imitate mullet. Long flatwings like steehead has been posting are good at day or night and are really easy to cast. After using a 12-14" flatwing I'll never go back to the bulky synthetics. The flatwings are very life like in the water and can be fished really slow and ride high in watercolumn. If I had one style of fly to use it would definitly be a flatwing.
For colors you cant go wrong with all white, black or yellow. This year I was kickin myself for never bringing a fly rod to RI because the weather was so mild and all those bass 32-37" that were around and in really close... of course next year will be 20mph wind in the face every time I do bring the fly rod. Try using some big flatwings on the CT river during the spring.
