Tips and comments
|
The number of feathers you use for the wing will determine the "floatablity" of this fly. I prefer 2 some what short ,that way the buy is semi submerged in the film. More feathers will bring the fly up n top more. This is my favorite slow water caddis pattern. Even though CDC is a pain to fish at times, I really like it's qualities both semi dry and wet. I do not look too CDC to float a fly for any period of time.Keep all fly and line floatants away from the CDC. | |
