One good technique for flyfishing in a float tube is to get out into a "fishy" looking area, then begin fan-casting. Start at 12 oclock and keep turning a little with each cast, so you will eventually cover a circle of water all the way around you.
Mo-hair leeches and wooly buggers are definitely your best bets for Strawberry. Use olive, brown or black and sometimes reddish or maroon work well.
Another good pattern is an "egg-sucking leech" which is just a regular leech or wooly bugger, but the head is bright red/orange (like a salmon egg). The extra color contrast con sometimes trigger strikes when nothing else is working.
