Dry Flies For Spring Fishing: CDC or Elk Hair Comparadun

By Marce Widmann and Santi Pagnanelli


Here goes a brief description of how to tie the CDC / Elk Hair Comparadun. We hope you find it helpful! Please feel free to contact us if you would like to receive more information about this pattern!

 

STEP 1: Wrap thread along the hook shank.

STEP 2: Select a piece of elk hair and use the hair stacker to stack the equivalent length of a hook shank. Tie it up close to the hook eye. Tie also 5 to 6 fibers of a brown cock hackle feather the same length as the hook shank for the tail.

 

STEP 4: Wrap dry fly dubbing along the tying thread and wrap it along the hook shank to creat the fly body (taper shape).

STEP 5: End up wrapping the dubbing all the way up to the hook eye and tie the finishing knot. The fly is ready!
