Default "best" general olive dun artificial

There's is probably no answer to this but anyway -
if you were to carry one style of artificial to imitate emerged upwing duns in a variety of sizes and colours what would the style be?
Parachute, comparadun, trad tailed and hackled, tail-less grey duster style etc?

For targeting rising fish it would be hard to beat a Compradun with a cdc wing and microfibbet tails.
As a searching pattern a Parachute is just the business.

I think I remember seeing a cdc comparadun (or something similar) you posted a while back, look great, but haven't been able to find it - do you remember if this was one of your posts?

Cheers
