CdC EMERGER

Mayflies often hatch parallel to the surface, but somehow this pattern work well during hatches.

General

This is a very good emerger pattern, suitable for most of the mayflies in sizes 14 and down. You can tie it with or without the shuck, but the shuck works well as a trigger for the fish. Depending on how you would like to fish it, it can be tied on different hook profiles. This one is “deep” and is really not the correct profile for a hatching mayfly, but for some strange reason i works well. Guess it’s because its just buggy
