More and more, we are seeing CDC being used in some of today’s most popular flies, and why not, the stuff is very fishy and moves naturally. Over the years, CDC has gotten to be “a must have” material if you’re going to keep up in the fly tying world. With the demand, the market has of course come out with multiple brands and colors.
