Thread: CDC Chart?

  1. #1

    Default CDC Chart?

    Does anyone know where the CDC feather chart by Hans Weilenmann can be viewed on line? The article "KORN'S CDC - SPENT-WING CADDIS SBS Doug Korn" references it but all my searches are coming up blank.

    Thanks, John

    Default Right On The Money!!

    Thanks John and Scott you both were "right on". I have what I wanted. Created a reference document for myself but it is to large to attach here.
    Wish there was a way of sharing, but I don't know it.

    The only high-quality CDC I have found was attached to ducks I have shot. The stuff you get in the stores varies from fairly good to utter and complete garbage, depending on brand (this is my own opinion, others may disagree). I use what Hans would call type 1 and type 4 feathers for wings on caddis, mayflies, and midges, and set the rest aside for a use I have yet to determine. For wings, I prefer the feather to have a little rigid structure to it rather than complete limpness. Couple snappy false casts and you are fishing again with a dried out fly.

    John,

    Glad it helped.

    Regards,
    Scott

    ps - best quality CDC I've had came from Trouthunters. I also get it in bulk on EBay; quality's not as good, but for the CDC & Elk I tie it works just fine.

    I won't say anything bad about a brand of CDC, I won't say anything bad...
