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.

CDC Buck Caddis Dry Fly, yellow

As its name suggests "CDC Buck Caddis (B.C.), this American deer hair fly is actually intended to represent a caddis fly. In fact, however, this simple and sophisticated tying method covers a much wider range of imitations. Practice has shown that the B.C. is not only used as a sedge crawler, as a dun or as a little stonefly. Pulled under water, it can even be fished as an emerger, with success. A real universal pattern. In combination with CDC body and CDC head hackle, this pattern becomes even more attractive - and much more resistant. After all, the seemingly fragile brush fibers are much more robust than they look and effectively shield the rather sensitive deer hair fibers. In addition, they diffusely disguise the outline of the B.C., making it the all-rounder par excellence. With a yellow or bordeaux-colored body, my B.C. version imitates a wide range of aquatic insects, especially caddis and mayfly stages. The size 19 claret has excelled as a very catchy grayling fly in the fall. The CDC Buck Caddis is fished dry, in the film or just below the surface, depending on its use.

CDC Buck Caddis (rot)

Wir ihr Name besagt, soll diese amerikanische Rehhaar-Fliege eigentlich eine Köcherfliege darstellen. Tatsächlich deckt diese schlicht-raffinierte Bindeweise aber ein weit breiteres Imitationsspektrum ab. Die Praxis zeigt, daß die B.C. nicht nur als Sedge-Auskriecher, als Dun oder als Steinfliege genommen wird. Unter Wasser gezogen, kann man sie sogar als Aufsteiger fischen, mit Erfolg. Ein echtes Universal-Muster also. In Verbindung mit CDC-Körper- und CDC-Kopfhechel wird dieses Muster noch attraktiver - und wesentlich widerstandsfähiger. Denn die so fragil wirkenden Bürzelfibern sind ja viel robuster als sie aussehen und schirmen die doch recht empfindlichen Rehhaarfibern wirksam ab. Zudem verschleiern sie den Umriß der B.C. diffus, machen sie zum Allrounder schlechthin. Mit gelbem oder bordeauxfarbenem Körper imitiert meine B.C.-Version eine breite Palette von Wasserinsekten, insbesondere Köcher- und Eintagsfliegen-Stadien. Die Bordeauxrote in Größe 19 hat sich im Herbst als sehr fängige Äschenfliege hervorgetan. Die CDC-Buck Caddis wird entsprechend ihrem Einsatz trocken, im Film order auch dicht unter der Oberfläche gefischt.

CDC Fluttering Caddis Dry Fly

As its name suggests, this pattern represents a fluttering caddis fly in the process of emerging. A sedge after hatching from the pupa skin during its first, still clumsy attempts to take off. But also a female buzzing from the water surface during the spawning process. Both phases bring fishing highlights, because the conspicuous life at the water surface is an attraction that fish rarely resist. In early summer, caddis flies hatch mainly in the midday hours due to the more favorable air and water temperatures. In midsummer, emergence shifts to the early morning and above all to the evening and night hours, when spawning and egg-laying also take place. A good evening emergence is often the fish's reaction to caddis fly activity. The tying method of the CDC Fluttering Caddis reflects the buzzing phase as closely as possible. Above the striking body contour, the silhouette appears transparently dissolved by the spread deer hair bunch wings and the flatly tied CDC feather. To emphasize the impression of fluttering, the pattern is always fished in motion. Service across with a stretched leader, then lead in accentuated movement cycles. Twitching, jerking, vibrating and slithering over water is most effective with fluttering caddis. To improve flotation, the wings and body should be made unwettable with Nev-R-Sink.
