a couple of coq de Leon fibres split as tails & you will enhance the fly even more.I have been messing around with Jeremy lucas CDC plume olive & came up with a little pattern that caught up to 40 fish for me & my mate yesterday on the Clyde.

On the contrary Craigie, adding tail fibres totally changes the way the fly will fish. Infact, it would become a dun imitation, as you would want the tails to help the fly to float. See here:
