CDC Transition Dun
Tied by Kim Boal
  • Tail: Barred wood duck flank
  • Body: Dark olive fur or dubbing
  • Hook: Dry fly, size 12 to 18

  • Wing: Light gray CDC, with small amount white Z-lon
  • Thread: Olive
  • Thorax: Olive fur or dubbing
  • Shuck: White Z-lon
  • Fishing Tips
    This mayfly imitation attempts to portray the dun as it struggles to free itself from the nymphal shuck, after the emerger stage. It can be tied in various colors to imitate other insects. This is a great pattern to fish dry, or slightly below the surface, struggling in the surface film.
