Why would you put CDC with Elk or Deer hair ? Is it for the movement ?

Sorry mate, still playing with the photos, thanks for the feedback.

As for the pattern, better ask Hans. I've done some with Elk hair as well, allegedly they work.

M, lovely ties - yep they'll work alright, I've found they're really good in fast water (both on local and across the bridge).

Looks like Arkle n Dave W have both been rubbing off on you - out of interest, have you been going to the Bristol FDG meets?

Atb, T

Superb Mike. Stop it now though; they are getting a bit too good now.

Possibly because the it makes one of the most effective dry flies. Regardless of caddis hatching, it just brings them up. Perhaps the trailing CDC suggests a shuck or legs? If you have never tried it, do give it a go.
