I just read Charlie Craven's article in the latest Fly Fisherman magazine, and really like his simple Humpy pattern. I think this could be a killer bluegill and green sunfish fly. I especially like the foam-backed version. My question is this..... How would changing the hair wing from elk hair to calf tail affect the flotation of the fly? My thinking is that white calftail wing would stick out much better than the elk.

Older and wiser, what do you say? I would really appreciate some input.
