Venaird CD Feathers

What are CDC Feathers ?

They are Cul de Canard or in plain terms the feathers from around the preen gland near the duck's bum. Venaird'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.

Each bag of CDC Feathers contain the best quality CDC feathers you have seen !

And how do you build flies with CDC Feathers ?

A thought from someone we do not know who,
when Michael Jordon was asked why he was the world's most successful basketball player that had ever lived. He paused and then gave this considered response:

Quote: "I have missed over 9,000 shots. I have missed a game winning shot 29 times, making my team lose. I have missed over 2000 free throws, which cost my team over 43 games. I have failed more than just about anyone else, and that's why I am so successful."
