The Queen is my best cdc dry fly for slow and medium running waters.
It is an artificial fly which floats perfectly on water, and it’s very realistic so that fish can’t ” turn it down”! I happened to create it while I was tying some classic dun flies with CDC. I was trying to find a balance between the shape and the position of the wing of the fly. For this reason I was fixing some CDC barbs towards the eye of the hook and another bundle fixed classically on the eye of the hook. At the second bundle of CDC it was more difficult to cut the extra CDC because there wasn’t enough space between the eye of the hook and the fixing spot. If I didn’t cut them carefully, short ends of barbs would remain and cover the eye of the hook. This would have made the head too thick and unnatural in the end. This is the reason why I stopped cutting the extra tips of barbs and instead leaving them long, approximately at the length of the insects’ legs. I made a few turns between the barbs to spread them so that in the end they remained fixed onward and laterally oriented. With the help of the body and tail the barbs of CDC create a perfect balance of the fly.
The major advantage of this technique is that the legs of CDC rest onward and laterally oriented regardless of the number of casts. The wing of the fly rests upwards, exactly the way it should be in the case of a DUN. On top of all, the fly floats great, maintaining the well-defined form which makes fish attack more often than in the case of the same fly tied differently.

Hook: Maruto Dohitomi D04 #14-18

Here is a step by step about how to tie a midge emerger  using Agostino Roncallo style. Agostino is a great  Italian flytyier who published a few  beautiful fly tying books and many articles.

Materials:

Hooks: D910 Daiichi #14-18

Thread: 17/0 Uni

first Body: Puf CDC

Second Body: peacock barbs and grizzly hackle

Wing: Grey Dun Wing CDC

And the step by step:

Here is a nymph that I use in this period of time.  Trout love it especially in the first part of the day:

The body is made using cream-light brown dubbing mixed with cdc. In this way the body is  more translucent then the body made of regular dubbing.

I use this variant when the water temperature is warmer and the emergers start to appear everywhere.

Materials that I use:

Hooks: ST300 BL #12

Thread:  Textreme Standard 8/0 white

Body: mad rabbit dubbing natural color mixed with light march brown rabbit fur dubbing

Tail: red floss

Bead: tungsten beads in different colors

Ribbing: UV white Peter’s Ribbing Quill

This fly is simple and very easy to tie.

Materials:

Hook: Maruto Dohitomi C46 #10

Thread: UTC 70 Denier -black

Under body: Holo Fibers – black

Body: Troutline hand stripped quill – natural

Cheeks: Glitter Thread – white and yellow mixed

Coating: Deer Creek UV Resin
