This model is a variant of Danica. You will see this wonderful ephemera tied in different ways. But these tied with CDC are really awesome!. Floats excellent, has a very realistic water print, perfect to cast and perfect to be presented in the front of big spooky trout!.

Bellow are my favourite Danica flies. I like to use the one with Mallard Drake hackle on slow running waters and on the faster ones I like to use the Hare hackled version
