GETTING STARTED ON THE CDC CADDIS

Materials Needed:
  • Hook: TMC 100 Size 14
  • Thread: UTC 70 Black
  • Body: Ginger CDC
  • Hackle: Ginger Dry Hackle

 

Step 1: Cut ginger CDC strands into a tray for use in dubbing the body.
Step 2: Tie on thread and dub ginger CDC onto thread.
Step 3: Wrap dubbed CDC onto the hook and taper the body forward so 3Ž4 of the hook is dubbed.
Step 4: Take a dun CDC feather and wind it up, in a CDC tool (if you have one), to form a wing.
Step 5: Tie in the wing and cut it the length of the hook.
Step 6: Tie in a hackle and take a few wraps around the hook to form the legs.
Step 7: Whip finish and the fly is ready for a caddis hatch.
Important Note: DO NOT use wet floatant on the CDC. ONLY use a dry floatant or you will gum up the CDC and ruin the fly. /outlinks
