stillwater questions

[natemo]

i have fly fished a couple of times on a river but i would like to try my hand at stillwater. I don't really know where to start. i would like to try strawberry because i here so much about it. what line should i use? what size of leader is best? i am assuming that woolly buggers work well, are there any other patterns that i can pick up in the next couple of days that would be good? i have access to a float tube. i am going to try going on monday, or would it be best to wait a while longer?i know people don't like talking about fly fishing because i asked the same questions on a fly fishing site and got yelled at, but any help would be appreciated.
