The first CDC flies in SwitzerlandThe flies of the 401-424 series are the first documented CDC (cul de canard) flies in Switzerland. Based on their position in the Mouches de Vallorbe fly book, they must have been tied for the first time around 1924. Charles Bickel was experimenting with all kinds of feathers at that time. To find out more, read the page about History of CDC flies These flies were very successful then and still are today. Because they are without tail fibres, they lie deeper in the water and imitate a just-hatching mayfly- exactly the stage that is most popular. On this page we offer some remakes with original materials but tied on modern barbless hooks. | ||
