These insects, which were once found almost exclusively in still water, now you can find anywhere.
When I noticed that trout and grayling often preferred these small Diptera to the ephemeral, I dedicated myself to the construction of their imitation making several models, both emerging that adult insects. Now I propose the emerger imitation that is achieved by using a single hackle CDC and you can tie it on hooks very small.

List of materials
Thread: 10/0
Hook Grub size 16/18/20
Body and respiratory tuft: A CDC hackle
Thorax: one peacock herl.
Steps
Step 1
I tie on hook grub a CDC hackle as if I intended to tie the Mirage 2.
Step 2
Keeping some tension in the hackle, wrap the thread around it. When I reach the length that I intend to give the body, I stop.
Step 3
I go back, crossing the tying thread coils with those wrapped previously.
Step 4
I cut the excess hackle.
Step 5
I cut the tip of the hackle.
Step 6
I tie a peacock herl next to the extended body.
Step 7
I wrap the herl around the hook, tie it near the eye and cut it surplus.
Step 8
Tie the head of fly
Step 9
I take off the fly from vise and cut the CDC fibers of the tuft.
