CDC Stonefly 2.0

The CDC Stonefly 2.0 is an almost perfect imitation of a large stonefly by Gerhard Laible. These insects are only found in very clear and cold waters. Fishing with these fly patterns is often spectacular! The pattern has wings on deer hair and CDC fibers. A high floating foam is incorporated into the head. This makes this fly pattern very good for “active” fishing. When the fish have adjusted to large stoneflies, they often take these patterns with great vehemence. We recommend treating the fly with Nev-R-Sink before first use. This makes the fly swim significantly longer. Important with this pattern is the application: fish this pattern very actively!

Off Bead Mayfly Nymph (yellow)

The Mayfly Nymph with Tungsten Offbead sets new standards for bottom fishing in fly fishing. Thanks to its teardrop-shaped tungsten offbead weight, this nymph sinks especially quickly, reaching the areas where trout and grayling feed most actively. The special offbead technique ensures the nymph drifts "upside down" in the water – with the hook point facing upward. This minimizes the risk of snagging on the riverbed and significantly improves hooking performance.Field experience shows:Compared to a standard nymph with a classic tungsten bead, a mayfly nymph with an offbead tungsten bead sinks twice as fast. This allows you to target deep, fast-flowing runs where conventional patterns often don’t reach the bottom quickly enough. The upside-down position also reduces the chance of the fly snagging on the bottom or on obstacles – a crucial advantage when fishing challenging waters.Practical recommendations:Ideal for bottom fishing for trout and grayling, especially in deeper or faster sections.Particularly effective when fish are sluggish and holding close to the bottom.Perfect for delicate presentations: Thanks to the high weight in a small size, the nymph can be presented precisely even with light rods (#4–#6).For maximum effectiveness, we recommend having various sizes and colors available and presenting the nymph actively with short twitches.The Mayfly Nymph with Tungsten Offbead stands out for its high-quality craftsmanship, durable materials, and natural appearance. It’s an essential pattern for anyone who values efficiency, fish-friendly fishing, and maximum catch rates in fly fishing.Try this innovative nymph and experience more success with fewer snags and faster sinking!

CDC Para Dun, blue dun

The CDC Para Dun imitates a small gray mayfly. The grayish body covers many different mayflies.The swimming properties of the dry fly are extremely good due to the duck-tail hackle.

Morningwood Stone (Salmon Fly)

A large and good floating Stonefly pattern.

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.

Wooly Bugger Beadhead (blue)

CDC Caddis Pupa Dry Fly

Whenever caddis flies hatch in the open water, the roundish, usually respectably sized emergers and crawlers trigger intense fish activity. The CDC Yellowhead Caddis Pupa efficiently represents this emergence and crawling phase. The conspicuous, thick head of the pattern mimics the gas filling in the pupa skin that carries the ascender to the surface. The special attraction that often emanates from the yellow parts of a dry fly has certainly been observed by many. My personal experience points unequivocally in this direction. I am not only convinced that yellow is indispensable at times, but that its appeal can be enhanced by emphasizing it. The thick yellow head in combination with the roundish body dubbed in my “integral technique”, i.e. from peacock and CDC fibers, results in a pattern that successfully imitates hatching Sedges. The yellow also makes the fly highly visible in the dim light of late evening caddis hatches. The CDC Yellowhead is fished either upstream in the normal dry fly manner or across the stream and then furrowed. When fished in this way, it is particularly effective if it is pulled slightly under water and guided with jerky movements.Text by pro tyer Gerhard Laible.
