How fast can I troll?

Just Hatched
I am fishing for bass out of a pedal kayak. I read that on the gear-fishing side, a number of lures are designed to work at 2-4 mph, but I'm not getting very many strikes at that speed. I have good luck, in the same waters and with several flies, trolling at around 1 mph. I'd like to get some exercise while I fish, and sometimes I need to get from point A to point B. Are there flies that offer a convincing presentation at 2-4 mph and what's required to make it convincing?
