Depends on the hatch. As a mayfly imitation, I usually tie with moose hair, and just let it sit high and dry. As a travelling sedge (caddis), I tie with deer hair (dyed green is sometimes deadly, other times natural brown or grey is the ticket) and strip it in with short pulls to create the same wake as the sedge.

Nothing like big trout sipping sedges off the surface on a windy day!

thank you that information is very helpful.

If you take and make a few over wraps of color matched thread on the body of the fly it will last longer. You can improve the floatation on dry flies by hooking the fly into a styrofoam tray and the hitting them with Scotch Guard
