Allan-
You need to check out Hans Weilenmann's CDC-EHC. I'm at work, so I don't have the url handy, maybe
someone else has it. Nice, nice fly and and easy tie.

Allan, tye it in by the tip leaving a bit hang for the tail. Give the
stem a few twists to form a rope. Make an excellent emerger.

Rene:
How do you attach the CDC? By the tip or butt?
Do you use it in place of mushrat dubbing?
Or do you use it instead of palmering a hackle?

All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to

: Larry,
:
: I use a CDC feather for the body of an improved Adams. The CDC
barbules
add
: a lot of movement to the fly and they add floatability.
: Is the ostrich Adams a good floater? I never tried it. Always thought
that
: the ostrich plume will soak quickly and caause the fly to sink.
