CDC patterns wanted.....

[spoof85]

hi again everyone,

ok, so i picked up a bulk pack of CDC cul-de-canard, dark dun....
ive never used CDC before, from what i understand, it is significantly more water resistant, and used for a CDC emerger. obviously lol

so if anyone has a good pattern lay em' on me... or give suggestions on uses. both would be awesome.

thanks,
spoof

The Marc Petitjean duns (mayflies) have long been one of my favorites.


They take a bit of extra effort to tie but are worth it on the water.
Cheers,

The CDC and Elk is probably the most well know CDC fly. Here's the recipe

Speaking of the devil, this week's entry on The Weekly Fly is the AP Pontoon Dun originated by the late Andre Puyans. Worth checking out...as is the archives.

Get a copy of Leon Links' Tying Flies with CDC: The Fisherman's Miracle Feather. That should keep you busy for quite some time.
