And the worst thing you can do to a fly that uses CDC Feather is to apply floatant because the floatant then fills up these tiny pockets of air, and now your fly sinks. Yes, this is a very common mistake, then fishers blame the CDC Feather, but really they themselves caused the problem.

So what you should never ever do is use floatant on
Talon CDC Feathers.
And your fly will float like a cork.

 

What are Talon CDC Feathers ?

They are Cul de Canard or in plain terms the feathers from around the preen gland near the duck's bum. Talon's CDC Feather have been specially selected for fly tying.

And why are they so good in fly tying/fishing ?

There are a number of reasons, to start with they are buoyant, like no other natural product, except Snow Rabbit's Feet. Soft and gentle, wispy and still are ultra delicate. They look almost insect like and are resistant to absorbing water.

They can be used in emergers, drys and nymphs.
The slightest movement induces a magical movement in the feathers. A super important factor in selecting CDC Feathers is that light and air are trapped within the barbules of the feather and the result is a insect like appearance with added to a fly.

Now because the CDC Feather has thousands of tiny barbules that catch air, this then stops the feather/fly from sinking.

And then you will discover on a number of fly patterns that you no longer require a hackle, which to me seems the correct way for a insect copied/tied by man should be, Have you ever seen a caddis or ant with a beautiful Elizabethan Collar or should I say hackle, I haven't.
