CDC

Rib: Fish On Silver Wire 0.14

A wonderful little pattern that, as the name suggests, is a composition of several better known patterns. This is a simple tie that will cover most dry fly situations when grayling fishing.

Deer hair and CDC are favorites for my own dry flies. The peacock quills and tinsel make the body and some foam for visibility and floating.

A tried and tested Yellow May emerger fly pattern, which covers the emerging / hatching stage of the Yellow May Dun. It would also cover you for the Sulphur Dun fly hatch.

The CDC and ELK Hair Caddis / Sedge is an incredibly easy pattern to dress with just two ingredients, but is a very effective pattern.
