Duns as they hatch spread their wings to dry out. The loop wing is more of a cripple.
I have cdc dubbing and am still not sure about it. I might try it, good call.
The cdc loop is an option and another fly all together. I have not had the courage to expose that yet!
The muller is an exceptional fly in small sizes for summer Grayling BTW.

Anything else?
im all out let me know how you get on with the dubbing, sounds interesting.

i have not tied a muller yet, and im not so convinced about bending the hook!!!!

do you have any greyish coastal deer hair? i made a nice emerger pattern the other day that i will try get a pic up of. it has quite a lot of deer hair, put it is neatly packed upright much how you are wanting the wing to look, but perhaps a little long for this purpose. possibly a pain in the butt for small patterns
