Tying Flies with CDC

Tying Flies with CDC
The Fisherman`s Miracle Feather

Flytyers have long recognised the miraculous qualities of CDC, or cul-de-canard, which grow near the preen glands of ducks. CDC feathers have unusual water-resistant properties. This makes them invaluable feathers for tying dry flies, emergers and even nymphs.

Some of the world`s most innovative flytyers are currently inventing new ways of using these versatile CDC feathers. The patterns they have invented are often deceptively simple ones, demanding easy tying steps and very few additional materials. Many anglers fish only with CDC flies. This book brings together many of the latest tying techniques and fly patterns.

Tying Flies with CDC is the flytyer`s definitive international guide to this unique feather. It draws on the ideas of well-known flytyers from many different countries: from Dutch experts Piet Weeda, Hans van Klinken and Theo Bakelaar, to Marc Petitjean of Switzerland and Marjan Fratnik of Slovenia, to Elie Beerten of Belgium, Nicolas Ragonneau of France, Paolo Jaia of Italy, Rene Harrop of America, Tetsumi Himeno of Japan, and many others.

This is an inspirational gjidebook for the modern flytyer.
