CDC literature advice

[former member 9]

i have been fly tying for 6 months now and want to start tying cdc flies in particular flies for river fishing.

i was wondering if any forum members have any advice on literature (dvds or books) that might help.

Thanks in advance

The one to have and while you're at it try to have a look in this one:

Pêches Sportives | Boutique

I know it's in French (German edition too) but there are some nice CDC flies being explained in it, besides a fairly complete entomological study on Central-European flies, nymphs and larvae.

Regards,
Johan

This is the book to read; not much else was published in English on the CDC subject. Also try following the internet - French, Central European and Balkan blogs & forums. CDC is still considered a novel, untried and untested material by the US and UK tiers, so you have to look elsewhere
