I think it is misleading to say that Whiting is being misleading.

I first heard about CDL from one of the best tiers in our region - Bruce Staples - and he was referring to the Whiting CDL tailing packs and capes.

If you haven't heard of Bruce, check out the link. Note the comments about the author.

There may be some history to the Spanish version of CDL that is distinctly different than the American version, but that doesn't make Whiting's claims misleading. I for one am glad that I found the Whiting version. I can afford it. It has made for some very interesting and productive flies.

If Whiting called their version something else, I'd refer to it by that name. But so what, except for maybe the reaction of some purists to making a good feather available to a wider market ??
