Been a very long time for me, but I will take a stab.
first off, buy the bubbles with the peg in the middle so you can add or subtract water.

Then you need some sort of stop, be it a swivel or a split shot, something to stop the bubble at a certain length.
As you probably already know, flies do not have the weight to get out on the water with regular fishing line, that is why FLY LINE is tapered and has weight to the end, even the floating. So, the bubble is a way to get the fly out into the water.
Adjusting the length of line from fly to bubble will be a hands on thing.
Fill the bubble with allot of water, you will float the bottom, fill it half full and depending on how fast you retrieve, you can cover the middle. Very little water will be for dry fly or top water.
I have watched nkunz pull fish out right and left with this method, he would be one of the pros I would ask.
Macfly uses this method also.
