FAQs
What is CDC?
CDC stands for Cul de Canard, which is a type of feather taken from the preen gland area of a duck. These feathers are naturally buoyant.
What kind of fish can I catch with this fly?
This fly is primarily used for catching trout, but it can also be effective for other species that feed on insects on the water's surface.
How do I choose the right size?
Match the fly size to the size of the insects the fish are feeding on. Observe the insects on the water to determine the best size to use.
How should I store my flies?
Store your flies in a fly box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to protect them.
Can I use this fly in fast-moving water?
Yes, but be mindful of the tippet size. Choose a heavier tippet if the water conditions demand it.
Troubleshooting
Fly not floating properly.
Apply a fly floatant to the CDC wing to restore buoyancy.
Fish not taking the fly.
Try a different size or change to a different fly pattern.
