Midge emergers
Which way up? CDC vs Deer Hair? Roy Christie style vs Bob Wyatt style?
Grip hook vs Hanak? Tail breather vs none?
I am leaning towards the reverse fly, which puts the tippet below the surface, and I like the CDC for its delicacy and movement. The Hanak hook has a wider gape, which I like. The hackle on the CDC fly should help float it, but I am thinking I could go with more sparse and longer hackle.
There are worse ways to occupy an evening…..
