Obviously, the end result of the assembly is determined by the materials that you are using: If you want to get a fly diaphanous and particularly light, you use two hackles not too bushy fibers and a lightest hook, if you want to get a more full-bodied fly that can imitate, for example, an insect terrestrial, using two hackles rich fibers and a hook more robust. The loop of steel wire facilitates the folding of hackles, helps to mount them on the hook and allows to obtain wings of equal length. What I propose you is the process base of tying, but when you want to achieve the imitation of a particular insect, you have to add to the two CDC hackles the materials needed to get the parts anatomical characteristics of the insects.

List of materials
Hook: Straight short shank or grub size 14/16/18
Thread: Grey 8/0
Wings, chest and wings: Two CDC hackles
Steps
Step 1
The loop of steel wire, which is essential to tie some of my imitations.
Step 2
Superimpose two hackles of CDC, the tip of a hackle on the basis of the other.
Step 3
Put the loop tool in the middle of the two hackles and strain the fibers along the feather’s stem. With this I get two loops formed by the hackles.
Step 4
Fix the feather’s loops on a hook light and divide by opening them with some intersections of tying thread.
Step 5
The two feather’s loops divided.
Step 6
Raise the fibers of the hackles and cut the excesses of the tips and bases.
Step 7
Tie the head of the fly
Step 8
Cut the longest wing fibers
