Default CDC Puffs

Click the image to open in full size.
Got some cdc puffs in olive and black, does anyone have any preference to colour. or is it just a confidence thing. would natural look better?
Not easy to get hooks smaller than a 16 around here so used some 18 carp hooks!
thanks , dave

hi Bruce , see what you mean about the hook. it seems like it will be ok, especially as its only an 18. with some fine wire hooks i worry about the fly sitting correctly in the water. more important when its calm.
your signature is spot on, i am from yorkshire!

atb, dave
