Default Some flies useing CDC

I've used some CDC for a change as I never seem to use it but it's so mobile in the water that it should be used alot more. I've used it in 3 different ways, the first fly as the hackle, 2nd fly as the tail and 3rd fly as the body. All tied on kamasan sedge hooks size 12.

Nice flies Wingman!

I like the proportions and the amount of 'material' ... less is more!

Thanks andypandy and wullie, boy are those hooks taking some stick, think I'll be useing them just for sedges in future but it was really just an experiment useing CDC so I wasn't really concentrating on the appearance of the hooks but next time they will be more fitting.

Nice tying again. Have CDC and the book "Tying Flies With CDC". Not used it much apart from tying some small humpy's. Have some CDC shucklecock buzzers, but again rarely used.
