This has long since been my go-to Daddy, dry or wet. There's lots of appendages to get trapped on the surface film, making it fish well without the addition of any kind of floatant. Fish it singly, in two's, or even a trio in a good blow. It's a great wet pattern too - take your pick: fish it as a bushy bob fly on any line, or fish it on the tail to hold up a team of small wets or even nymphs.
