[quote flygoddess]Here is a thought for you two. FFL you like your Elk Hair and Twin, you like your Olive Zebra Midge/Chironomid (by the way, maybe olive is working so well right now because of the Damsels, I don't know though)
A Dry/Dropper.
There are many ways to tie these. Most popular is off the bend of the Elk Hair. But you can also tie the Elk Hair on a tag and the Mid on the end of the tippet.
You could start with maybe three feet them shorten if needed.
You guys could even double up. Just a suggestion.[/quote]
I did use a dropper rig. The dry was a mosquito and the dropper was the olive zebra midge. Eventually I just wanted the dry on there as the wind kind of makes for a tangle.
