Yes, it does float a little higher--more like
the natural, not-crippled dun.
So you probably wouldn't like this fly.
I'm sure of it, in fact.


You never know. I'm not dogmatic about this stuff.

I read an article that said using the hackle on the bottom leaves a circular
impression in the film that is much more accurate to the natural. Also if
you were to slightly bend the hook at the thorax it prevents the abdomen
from touch the surface, so the silhouette is a better match.
