A Simple Flav (Maybe?)

Hi,

My buddies and I fish a certain river not far from Yellowstone in early July and have had great luck with flavs. We did really well using a size 16 and size 14 Sparkle Dun. That stream is a pretty fast stream. So, was thinking of something similar which might be an even better floater.
Anyway, the simplest flies tied:

Or a biot bodied one?

Hi Byron, What have you used for the tails in your Flavs? Thanks.

Ray,
On these I used bucktail hair. On Sparkle Duns, I use zelon. Wasn't sure which you referred to.

I'm sure they will. They are beautiful.

On the first fly you have a comparadun wing combined with a hackle collar? And on the others just hackle collars?

That's right Steven. The first one would be for faster waters.
