Here we have a retake of the classic cdc emerger it is so simple to tie and takes no special skills  and just the bare minimum of materials, it will kill on any water where fish a broaching to take emergers. so let us start.

The Pheasant Tail Nymph is probably one of the most famous patterns, and one of the most deadly I might add, that has ever been devised, Sawyer seen it's potential and tied his with nothing but copper wire and cock pheasant tail fibres, and nowadays with modern materials these little flies have come into the 21st century with a bang, they are now made with a thorax of many weird and wonderful materials, what has never changed though is the way in which they are tied ' Until Now '

The Cat's Whisker is probably the most consistantly succesful lure for the still water angler. Born in the 1980's and has gone on to spawn many variants. This one being unweighted is better fished on an intermediate or sinking line but can still catch on a floater. Weight can be added in many ways including lead wire, bead head or chainbead eyes. The tools required for this pattern are few, A vice,bobbin holder,scissors and a whip finish tool.  This lure has spawned probably more variants than any other I have come across. Try varying the colours or materials, add jungle cock cheeks for a very effective variant, the choice is yours.
