CDC Olive Something
Tied by Dave Churches
  • Wing Case: CDC Feather
  • Wing: CDC Feather
  • Hook: Dry fly of choice, 16
  • Tail: None
  • Body: Olive Dubbing
  • Tying Instructions
    Wind thread to bend and dub colour of choice back to start of thorax. Tie in a pair of CDC feathers with the butts facing over the eye and tips back over the bend. Dub the thorax then bring the feathers forward as a loose wing case. Tie down with a couple of turns of thread then stand the tips upright and whip finish the head. Trim the tips to a stub wing so they flare out slightly.
