Hook: Mustad 94840 #18
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Brown
Tail: Whiting Bronze Brown
Body: Taimen Beaver Dubbing Brown
Wing: 2xCDC
The no-hackle CDC is very easy and with a bit of floatant it sits very nicely in the surface film. I tend to tie these with a white wing (for moving water it does help for visibility), but keep a variety of colors at hand in sizes from #22 up to #14. They are easy to tie, only involves 3 materials and will catch fish!

Getting ready for some fishing tomorrow with this family of Aurivilli in various sizes. The forest around Oslo should be primed with the last few days reaching up into the mid-20C and a bit of rain, so I will bring my bike out and check out some new areas that I haven’t tested out yet.

Thread: Sheer 14/0 Brown
Body: Sheer 14/0 Brown, Danville Waxed Black wrap
Thorax: Taimen Beaver Dubbing Brown
Wing: 2xCDC feathers
Simple, but very effective pattern. Trying to tie some with a very slim body this year to see if that can’t give some results.
Hook: Knapek Midge Pupae #14
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Brown
Body: Taimen Beaver Dubbing – Grey
Wing: Hareline Premo Deer – Olive, CDC Dark Olive
Emerger with Deer wing – can be tied with even less hair to make it slender and light
Hook: DR 305 #10
Thread: UNI 6/0 Brown
Body: Single Olive Green CDC feather, wrapped around the hook
Wing: Hareline Premo Deer – Olive
Experimenting on the CDC & Deer pattern – found a CDC feather with long fibres that should give a lot of life on the surface. Have not fished with this one yet, but this should work as a atractor on the surface.
