Sure Shector, but it's nothing really special.
It's a black parachute mayfly tied with the following materials:
hook: 14 - 18
tail: Black hackle fibres
body: black goose/turkey biots
abdomen: Hends UV dubbing - black
Wing post: CDC - white or your favourite colour for seeing into glare
Hackle: Black - tied parachute style.
I'll take a pic a bit later and post it.

Mnr Mafia, these are the flies i have been fishing with lately:
CDC Soft
CDC Klinkhammer
Ma Se Hopper
Stacked Hackles Black - best on slower moving water.
Parachutes, Black or Ginger
CDC & Elk
For the CDC Soft tying instructions, go here:

There is a link on there to a video clip of tying the cdc and elk. You tie in the CDC the same way for the CDC soft but when he starts putting the elk hair on, you tie in a soft hackle of choice (Partridge, Guinea fowl, Brown Hen have worked nicely for me) and wrap it in front of the CDC.

Albe,
here is a link to the actual tying steps that Dennis Shaw did for me after I showed him the fly:
CDC Soft
You will probably have to register on that forum to be able to see the step by step.
He does two different techniques for the same fly, and to me, Method two works better and ties a neater fly.

I have tied some of the CDC Klinkhammers and fished them on saterday. They looked good on the water but no Fish on them yet.
First 4 no contest
- RAB : 12 - 14
- Para Adams (dark grey or black) : 12 - 20
- Klinkhammer (olive) : 16 - 20
- Elk Hair Caddis : 14 - 18
No 5 is a bit more difficult:
- Hopper : 10 - 14 (beeeg)
- Stimulator : 10 - 14 (beeeg)
- Darryl's Hi-vis CDC Midge : 18 - 22
- Griffiths Gnat : 18 - 22
- DDD : 14 - 18
- Neversink Skater / BiVisible / Variant (same sizes as RAB)
Would probably go with big Stimulator or Hopper, to use for suspending nymphs.
