Elk/CDC Caddis Emerger

I found a few days ago some pictures of an elk/cdc caddis emerger on the internet without tying description. So I decided to tie it and to present it step-by-step. Here is my recipe:


Hook:        D04BL HW size 12-14
Thread:      STD 6/0 Col.06 (brown)
Abdomen:  Dubbing (green antron with some squirrel fur) covered by poly-yarn (yellow)
Thorax:      CDC Dubbing ( 2 compartiments ) covered by a grouse feather
Wing:         CDC under wing covered by an elk (deer) hair wing

1.Wax the thread and tie it aprox. till to the half of the shank.

2.Build the abdomen (mix of green antron and squirrel).

3.Cover the dubbing abdomen with some yellow poly-yarn fibers and burn them at the loose end and make    a basket by rubbing the ends with your fingers.

4.Tie a cdc under wing.

5.Use some elk/deer hair to make the wing.

6.Tie a grouse feather with whom you'll cover the thorax.

7.Split the thread and make a cdc dubbing brush.

8.Then build aprox. half of the thorax and cover it with the grouse feather but keep a few mm to the eye of the hook for a new cdc dubbing.

9.Split again your thread, make a new cdc brush ( the second one should be smaller ) and build the last part of the thorax till to the eye of the hook.

10. Cover it again with the grouse feather and whip finish. Use some head cement. Voilà this is the fly:

Feel free to modify the recipe as you want to and let me know about the fish you'll catch with this fly.
