CDC- naturemade fly tying productThe miracle feather, was first called by Charles Bickel (Vallorbe, Switzerland), inventor of the CDC fly in 1924, as "ailes grasses de la queue du canard" (greasy duck tail feather) later croupions de canard, or cul-de-canard (CDC). The success of the CDC flies, as those of the famous Swiss tiers like Bickel, Veya and Ioset was based on that material.For fine flies that are supposed to catch delicate fish even on calm, food-rich rivers, there is no getting around CDC feathers. You need first quality CDC to make these wonderful fine flies, which catch fish where other flies have no chance, especially in these chalk streams, where the big trout have enough food and have time to inspect in detail the flies they take.
Swissflies can offer fly tiers the world's largest selection of high-quality CDC feathers (cul de canard) at the best prices. When tying CDC flies, you should not waste your time with inferior CDC feathers. Swissflies CDC feathers come from special duck breeds and are obtained from adult animals.
