Nice fly Buzz!

Just to let you know, I rose a dun-feeding trout on one of your cdcs yesterday, which was in the 2.5 - 3lb class......

......just a pity I struck at it like Ben Elton on speed

Neither.

I have been playing with the idea for a while now and tied a few prototypes over the last couple of months, our discussion above prompted me to post a picture.

It looks fishy to me as well, fingers crossed. I am just not sure how low it will sit in the water. I hope the cdc goes up the way and does not end up looking like a fried egg. Time will tell.

surface tension is a tricky business eh? should work, theres not much to stop the whole body and abs from pentrating the surface, so hopefully forcing the cdc upright-ish rather than just sticking to the surface. atleast i think that what your after

Asolutely perfect, will tie some of these up for the river, Colin

Buzz,

Is the CDC around the post tied in by the tip and wrapped around like a parachute on that fly or is there a trick to it. I like the look of the fly and fancy having a go at a few.

Thanks,

Dovebob
