When I started using CDC, I realized that it was naturally be followed by every fly I make, another representing its evolution and that another, following a logical process as simple as to seem natural.
This process began when I created the Mirage that I consider the best fly among all those that I have tied until today.
Having tie the Mirage with a single feather of CDC, I thought that, with the same standard, maybe it was possible to construct other imitations, and the facts gave me reason why, using only one CDC feather, I got the imitations of the ant, the spider and the nymph emerging ephemeral.
All these imitations are present in my book "Magie in CDC”.
On this occasion, I propose the emerging nymph imitation, which is make on the same basis of the Mirage, that is make bringing the CDC hackle barbs in a point to create the body and wings of imitation.
In this case, in addition to the body of imitation, we also get the upper chest of the nymph.
When I tried the first few times, I was so pleased with the results I did precede the word Nimph the R of my last name.
With this nymph I caught trout and grayling particularly difficult to catch and I believe that its effectiveness born from its thinness. In fact, when it gets wet, is very similar to the nymphs emerging that seek to exit from the insect’s shuck.

List of materials
Thread: 8/0
Hook grub size 14 16 18
The tail, the insect's shuck, wings, chest are tied with one CDC hackle.
Steps
Step 1
I shift the CDC fibers along the spine of hackle
Step 2
Tie the hackle on a grub hook
Step 3
I do converge the fibers that exceed from the insect's shuck with fibers of the base of the hackle.
Step 4
I unite the fibers with a few turns of tying thread
Step 5
I make a dubbing with CDC fibers
Step 6
I make the chest and cut excess.
Step 7
I tie hackle on the hook, so that it forms the shuck of the wings, and cutt the excess.
Step 9
I take off the fly from the vice and establish the length of the wings with a cut.
Step 10
I cut the tip of the hackle, leaving two fibers on sides to imitate tails
