Ephemera Danica (female)

Fly: Lars Christian Benten, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: TMC 206BL # 12
Thread: Tan UNI 8/0
Tail: Moose mane
Extended body: Superfine Dryfly Dub (cream)
Wing: Two olive and one yellow CDC feathers sandwiched
Thorax/legs: Cream and light brown CDC spun in loop
Note: I find this extended-body style to fish better than everything else when the bog Danicas are hatching. I also often use Oliver Edwards’ Mohican Mayfly.
