You have at least two problems, the first is the fly dressing as Seawolf descibed the second is the size of your tippet or end of your leader. You need to match the size of your tippet to the fly size. For most trout work, with flies in the 14-24 size use 6X tippet material. Put some dressing on the fly and false cast to rid the fly of water. A third problem you may be having is your casting. Make sure your cast straightens the leader and allows the fly to float down gently to the water, if the fly is landing with a splat then go practice your casting. Not only is your fly going to sink but the fish will head for cover as well.
