Saturday April 18 - 9:00am - 1:30pm - Tying Dry Flies with CDC

Anglers who regularly fish the waters of the Upper Delaware know the value of CDC style dry flies. The qualities that these feathers possess make it possible to create like life surface flies that consistently fool selective Trout.

In this class Ken will teach the steps involved in making 6 different styles of surface floating flies. Participants will tie; Simple Caddisflie Pattern, Crippled Emerger, Parachute Mayfly, Mayfly Knock Down Dun, Simple Mayfly Emerger and CDC Sparkle Dun.

Tyers who stock their fly boxes with a good selection of these patterns will have the advantage over the Selective Trout of the Upper Delaware.
