Default Small CDC mays
Combining some different techniques I've learned this year and made a almost all CDC tiny little mayfly. The only thing not CDC are the syntetic tails. These are the smallest so far, tied on a size 24 hook. I am not planning on going any smaller

The CDC wallywing are treated with a thin layer of Dave's flexament to be more durable.

Looking outside with -23 degrees out it's seems like it's gonna be a long time until I get a chance to try it

Cheers
Ulf
