For those tiny olive what do you guys like to use for the wings? I am
wondering what material specifically the emergers do you guys use? In
the past I have used CDC Dark Natural Dun but find I have to add alot
of flotant to the fly once it has been fished for a while.

Any one here use Polly and if so what results have you guys had?

Thanks!

Adding a floatant to cdc defeats its ability to hold air and thereby
float well. If your cdc fly is gummed up after catching a fish or
fishing it for awhile, simply wash it in the stream, blow on it to dry
it, and apply Frogs Fanny to the cdc feather. Should float like a
cork.

Ditto. Some Dry-Shake might de-slime it better than blowing on it, but no
floatant and Frogs Fanny is the way to go.
