Autumn is almost over and the winter is coming… I already miss to fish for trout and grayling, which I’ve done this year not often enough….

emerger # 14 on Daiichi 1167 Klinkhamer hook
Quill Body CDC Emerger No. 2 – Step By Step
It’s the end of April and the trout and grayling season will start soon.
Here’s another very good emerger pattern, which imitates some different may fly species, depending on the colour and size. It’s tied on the new Daiichi 1167 Klinkhamer hook, designed by the famous dutch fly tyer Hans van Klinken.
The Daiichi 1167 got a stronger wire compared to the Tiemco 212Y for example, which makes sure, that the abdomen hangs deep in the surface. That’s really important and that’s the reason, why this pattern got no tail or a trailing shuck, to make sure, that the abdomen is hanging deep in the surface.
The quill body is covered with a thin coating UV Resin.
Materials:
- Hook: Daiichi 1167 # 14
- Abdomen: Polish Quills &Tack Free UV Resin
- Thorax: Oliver Edwards Master Class Dubbing
- Wing case: CDC
- Wing: CDC
- Legs: Partridge
Put the hook into the vise, do a layer of thread and tie in a stripped peacock quill. Wind the quill around the hook shank and catch it with the tying thread.
Put a little drop of Tack Free UV Resin on the stripped peacock quill and spread it on the abdomen. Cure it with your UV torch.
Tie in two CDC feathers for the wing case. Then tie in the tip of another white CDC feather as a crippled wing.
Dub the body and tie in some partridge fibres to imitate the legs. Fold each CDC feather to the hook eye and catch it with the tying thread. The CDC wing should be exactly in the middle of the feathers.
Cut the CDC feathers for the wing case and do some turns with your whip finisher to create a little head. Varnish the head, if you like. That’s it, ready for fishing. ;-)

Quill CDC Emerger
A simple, but quiet effective mayfly emerger.Tie it in different sizes and colours to match the hatch. The body of the emerger should hang deep in the surface. Never put some floatant on the body, only a bit on the thorax and the wings if necessary. With the amount of uv-resin on the quill, you can control, how deep the fly should hang in the surface.
This pattern often made my day, when other patterns were ignored.
Materials:
- Hook: TMC 212Y # 13
- Abdomen: Stripped Peacock Quill and UV-Resin (use tack free resin, if not, you have to coat the resin with nail polish)
- Thorax: Alpaka Dubbing
- Wings: CDC and for splitting some Yarn
Tie in a stripped peacock quill.
Wind the stripped quill around the hook shank and catch it with your thread.
Put a layer of uv-resin around the quill body to secure it.
Tie in a piece of yarn.
Tie in a bunch of CDC fibres.
Spin the dubbing around the thread.
Dub the thorax.
Fold the yarn to the front to split the CDC and catch it with your thread.
Whip finish the fly and cut the CDC in shape.

Quill Body Parachute with CDC Wing
A superb all around mayfly pattern, which lies nicely flat and realistic on the water. Tie it in different sizes and colours to match the hatch. Personally I like to use CDC for the wing instead of polypropylen on the smaller sizes. It just looks more naturally.
Materials:
- Hook: TMC 100 # 16
- Tail: Micro Fibetts
- Abdomen: Stripped Peacock Quill, UV-Resin
- Wing: CDC
- Hackle: Genetic Dry Fly Hackle
- Thorax: SLF Masterclass Dubbing
Tie in a loop of tying thread and the end of the fly.
Tie in 3 micro fibetts, cut the thread loop and seperate the fibetts with the 2 pieces of thread.
Tie in a stripped peacock quill.
Tie in the tips of some CDC feathers as a wing.
Wind the peacock quill around the hook shank and catch it with the thread next to the wing.
Put a drop of tack free uv-resin on the quill body to secure it. Make sure, that there’s just a thin coat on the body.
Tie in the hackle as shown.
Dub the thorax.
Wind the hackle around the wing post and catch it with the thread underneath the hackle.
Cut of the hackle and do a whip finish underneath the hackle. A little drop of really thin varnish secures the whip finish. Ready to go!

Tungsten Quill Body Nymph Step By Step
Put a tungsten bead on the hook (here it’s a TMC 2312 #12)
Tie in some fibres from a Coq de Leon hackle as tail.
Tie in stripped peacock quill.
Create a tapered body with the tying thread.
Wind the quill around the hook shank. The dark side of the quill should point to the hook bend.
Put a small drop of uv-resin on the body and cover the quill with a small coat.
The uv-resin after curing. Now, the quill body looks really nice and it’s secured against the trouts teeth. A tack free uv-resin works best.
Tie in some pheasant tail fibres for the wing case.
Tie in a hen hackle with the tip first. The hackle will create the legs of the nymph.
Dub the thorax with a dubbing of your choice. I used SLF-Spicky-Dubbing.
Fold the hen hackle first and then the pheasant tail fibres to the hook eye and catch it with the thread close to the tungsten bead.
Cut the hen hackle and the pheasant tail fibres close to the tungsten head and make a whip finish.
Finish the fly with a drop of uv-resin on the wing case.
A heavy nymph with quiet a real shape, nice colours and very durable.
