CDC Emerger 2.0 dark

This is a great emerger pattern. This fly should be fished in the surface film. It can be offered dead drift or in a light swing.

CDC Traun Caddis

The Traun Caddis is a classic caddis fly version: the sedge with closed wings. This picture shows both newly hatched sedges, when they are still unable to fly, and females laying eggs. The adult sedges live for several days or weeks and return to the water from the shore vegetation when all the conditions for laying eggs are met. After mating, the females fly upstream to compensate for the downstream drift of the eggs (compensatory flight). Some species then climb into the water on the side facing away from the current, e.g. from stones, to lay their egg balls. Many sedges also lay their eggs in the open current at dusk. They run and hop conspicuously over the water surface. In between, the flies repeatedly take breaks, during which they drift downstream with their wings folded. Spawning and egg-laying always provoke a violent ascent. The tying method and material - the translucent patterned Sedge Wing wings and the CDC thorax surrounded by a few long fibers - give the MW-Caddis a deceptively realistic silhouette without reducing its usability in the slightest. The pattern can be thrown without twisting and has excellent buoyancy. This means that this CDC sedge can be offered without any problems according to the behavior of the prototypes: Turning and furrowing violently and drifting calmly in between, as “Caddis at rest”. This is most effective with a long leader tip when servicing across and then downstream.Text and pattern by Gerhard Laible

Trout Intruder (grey)

These streamers are so incredibly catchy that they should be forbidden! The secret of catchiness lies in the processing of an off-bead Tungsten weighting. The beads are attached below the streamer and give the streamer an incredibly seductive, jigging action. The free-swinging Stinger hook ensures a tremendous amount of bite transformation. Gerhard Laible has developed the Trout Intruder. super sharp Tiemco hook (TMC 785) Off Bead weighting Best materials Length: about 6 cm

Darkbrown Brown Sedge

The Darkbrown Brown Sedge is the universal imitation of both large and small brown caddisflies. This fly stands out due to its voluminous profile and is an absolute top catcher when caddisflies are active.Especially during dusk and night or in strong winds when caddisflies flutter over the water (skating), the Sedge leads to brutal takes. Its good buoyancy makes it ideal for turbulent water and fast drifts.If you want to provoke a large, aggressive bite that cannot be ignored – skate the Brown Sedge a little across the surface! It is perfect for all trout species.

CDC Caddis Teenager

The CDC Caddis Teenager is a great pattern of a caddis fly. The fly floats very well due to the tying method. The fly pattern can be led very actively. We recommend treating the pattern with Nev-R-Sink (floating agent) before first use so that the fly floats even longer.

Front End Loader

The Front End Loader is a great mix of a classic caddis and a parachute pattern. It floats well and is highly visible.

CDC Delta Wing Dun

The CDC Delta Wing dry fly pattern can already be described as a typical phase imitation, i.e. as a type of fly that only reproduces a fleeting moment: the image of a newly hatched dun making its first attempts at flight. The hatching process is complete, the wings are hardened and ready to function. The insect attempts, still somewhat awkwardly, to take off from the water. It only succeeds under ideal conditions at the first attempt. Several take-off attempts are usually necessary, after which the dune repeatedly touches down on the water surface - with its wings spread in a V-shape. This delta position imitates the bunch wings of the pattern, and this phase is very interesting from a fishing point of view, as trout in particular - stimulated by the movements - often attack such duns vehemently. It can be observed that the fish sometimes jump out of the water and take the duns from above when they dive back in. In their frenzy to intercept the dun, the fish do not even take the time to look critically at the flies... The CDC-Delta Wing fly pattern  is most effective when it is offered in the action area, i.e. according to the water depth just before the position of the targeted fish with movement stimuli. With a short offering distance, you can let the fly literally dance over the water with a long rod and short line. When using this technique, it is necessary to lightly lubricate the deer hair wings and the body of the fly with Nev-R-Sink.
