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
That would have been my choice, too: here’s Hans’ video version:

thanks, they should come in handy
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,
A.
Here’s another caddis using CDC, spoof. Really good pattern.

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

and a video by the originator.
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.
thanks for all the posts guys, conveniently enough, the latest issue of Fly Tyer has alot of CDC patterns too…
My favorite and most productive mayfly CDC patterns in their BWO forms:
Late Emerger/Dun
Like this one very early in the hatch when the bugs are just popping, and again very late when fish are cleaning up the scraps of the hatch.
nice flies, what is the tail made of in your first pic?
It’s a Hareline product called Sparkle Emerger Yarn. I use it in Amber for trailing shucks quite often.
nice, i am going to have to pick myself up some, quadrupling the amount looks like it would look and move nicely for hinged bodies… to hide the hinge of coarse
I have taken a lot of interest in the posts and Patterns involving Swiss CDC over on Facebook. Swiss CDC I have found is Superior. Certainly the patterns I saw using this peaked my interest and are the best I have ever seen using CDC, and a lot of them done by a very innovative tyer by the name of Sasa Stosic.
it is a shame i dont use facebook more often…
What’s facebook ??
im pretty sure its a type of illness, kind of a stronger strain of that myspace bug that was around awhile ago (if u seriously dont know… dont…find… out…)
I think you’re right. I think I read somewhere recently that it makes investors puke.
now thats entertainment
