FG,
A friend of mine was at the FFF conclave last year and attended a session with Charles Jardine in which he showed a stimulator like fly tied in such a way that it could be slide along the leader. It's all second hand to me but it sounded like the fly was tied with the leader embedded in it along the shank compressed in some foam.
I have not been able to find much about it online other than the following possible reference to an article in the May 2009 Fly Fishing & Fly Tying Magazine on a UK forum (google "sliding dry fly duo rig" for the discussion). Let me know if you know someone that has the magazine and it there's anything useful in there.
