I was playing around last week with a steelhead caddis staking fly I picked up from Hill's so I could copy it. It has a broad head of clipped orange deer hair that's been flattened top and bottom with a razor blade, so from the side it's a thin acute triangle with it's acute angle at the hook eye, and from the top it's a broad blunt nosed critter. The problem I kept having with it was that it would skate through part of the swing, then, it would get its lip caught in the current and dive under. It seemed like since the top bevel was the same as the bottom bevel it was just as happy to skate as dive. It seemed like a riffle hitch on it would be difficult because it's tied on a straight eyed hook with the deer hair head crowding the eye, but would it skate better if you hitched it so the line came out the bottom? Can I trim the head differently on mine so it stays on top? Or is the diving part of the design intent?
