Has anyone ever used CDC dubbing? I’m in the process of ordering some CDC and saw the CDC dubbing on Rene Harrops site. I’m not worried about the quality since it’s Rene. I guess I’m just curious about what the CDC dubbing is like to tie with.

Hi Mike,
I think it works like any other dubbing. You can see how it works (kind of) by clipping marabou into assorted length strands then using it as dubbing. Understand it is a heavier material so the results will vary. Give Rene’s dubbing a go; I don’t think you will be disappointed. Take care & …

I used it in a class with Leslie Harrop earlier this summer. It’s buggy, quite buggy actually. Not particularly hard to work with, but if you’re a neat freak, you’re going to have to get used to it.

I got an e-mail from Trouthunters a few days ago. I am on vacation now settling family inheritances and had told them I’d be buying some CDC when I get back. They’re throwing in some CDC dubbing to play with so hopefully I’ll have a report soon. Thanks for the input.

Hi Mike,
I bought a selection pack of 6 colours and am happy with it. The split thread method is the one I find best with the dubbing I have.
It dubbs well with finger pressure but is a little coarse for small flies.

that makes sence, the stems are so much thicker then the hackle fibers it would come out that way, you could strip the fibers off the stems and that would make one of the softest dubbing.
Does it float better then normal dubbing flies??? This might make a great spinner dubbing, or a parachute.
