Very nice. One thing I've taken to doing on CDC emergers is to bind the ends of the CDC backwards again rather than leaving it sitting out over the hook eye. For some reason I think it looks more natural.

Dave is there any chance you could explain how you created the spray effect please???

I really would like to tie this fly.

I'm sure Dave will answer but I think he means the effect of splitting the split thread dubbed CDC thorax with the loop wing.

BTW if you take a look here you will see how Marc Petitjean coaxes the CDC to sit on top of the shank. You can do the same to form the thorax and then split it with the (other colour) CDC thorax cover loop wing.
