CDC Emerger... changing technique

Using a technique I often use for dun patterns, here's an smallish emerger:



Hook: Varivas 2200BL-B #20
Thread: Hends Synton, brown
Body: Orvis Spectrablend, cream
Wing: CDC, olive

Thanks Bruce. The different style is in addition to the parachute - not instead of. I like to have both - they offer different footprints and are suitable for different water types.

Both are nice ways of tying and presenting an emerger imitation.

It is indeed CDC fibres in a split thread.

I use comparadun cdc flies from the satrt to the end of the year on the rivers only changing to clinks/parachutes when i am fishing nymphs newzealand style and looking for extra bouyancy in the fly... But i know guys that swear by clinks/parachutes.

Nice tie by the way
