I came across Kelly Gallup’s Found Link fly and tied a few up initially in size 14....
It’s great pattern and has been catching lots... floats like a cork and has a great profile underneath. If you click on the link Kelly explains the thinking behind it far better than I could.
So I upscaled it to a Mayfly size.... tied on tiemco size 11 103’s.

Definitely worth tying some up, the Mayfly ones are tied in bleach X-caddis deer hair, and then for the general smaller upwings I have been tying in natural x-caddis (I also tie some in a mix of both to give different shades on the body).
