Do you guys think a particular type of wing style works best. I like
divided calf for about all of my flies, because I can see it easier,
but I wonder if its better to use a different style.
Depends on many things-- profile you're trying to achieve, how the fly is
supposed to sit on the water, how long you want to spend tying a fly,
materials on hand.
For downwing midges, I like something like Z-wing. For many mayflies, I
like a Usual, if I want the fly to sit low in the water. It's easy and has
no hackle.
