CDC and Elk Fly Pattern

CFFC 13TH WINTER FLY SWAP

CDC and Elk
Tied by Mike Weaver
Materials

Hook:
Manufacturer: Kamasan B100.
Size: #16 (duns), #14 (sedges).

Thread
Pale 8/0.

Body:
Dubbed natural or synthetic fur, wound well round bend of hook. Various olive shades for duns, grey/brown/olive shades for sedges.

Wing:
Natural deer hair, fairly short.

Hackle:
CDC tied in at tip, wound and then pushed back to lie over body to about twice length of hook shank.

Tier's Comments: - This is a variation on a Hans Weilenmann pattern. It works well for both duns and sedges - just change the body colour. The rather ragged appearance of this fly probably contributes to its effectiveness.
