FAQs
What is the purpose of CDC feathers?
CDC feathers (Cul de Canard) provide a more realistic appearance and excellent buoyancy.
What size tippet should I use?
Use a tippet size appropriate for the size of the fish and the conditions (e.g., 4X or 5X tippet).
How do I apply floatant?
Gently spray or dip the fly into floatant, then remove excess floatant by patting the fly gently.
Can I use this fly in fast water?
Yes, but be prepared to add floatant more often and watch for drag.
How do I store my flies?
Store your flies in a fly box to protect them from damage and to keep them organized.
What is the best way to present this fly?
Cast upstream and allow a drag-free drift over likely feeding lanes.
Troubleshooting
Fly is sinking
Apply dry fly floatant to the fly and ensure it is completely dry before use.
Fly is difficult to see
Use a brightly colored indicator or choose a fly with a more visible wing pattern if necessary.
Fly is not attracting fish
Experiment with different retrieves and try different sizes or patterns to match the hatch.
