So I see a lot of emerger patterns that use antron and other similar materials for the trailing shuck on emergers. Have most of you found that to be more effective than a natural tailing material? I didn't have anything like that so last night I tied some up using darker mallard flank feathers for the trailing shuck and I thought they looked pretty realistic. Anyone use them for this purpose before? I tend to want to use natural materials when possible. I'm only a few weeks into fly tying so I don't have a ton of supplies yet so just went with something I had that I thought might work. Thanks for any help on this.
