Synopsis of Class
There are many different wonderful trout flies being tied these days with all kinds of new and innovative materials.  One bit of material that has gained in popularity in the past few years is the C.D.C. feather.  C.D.C. stands for Cul de Canard and has the wonderful property of being hydrophobic.  This makes this a great feather for dry flies and emergers.  The feathers are usually smaller in size but larger feather can be obtained from larger waterfowl.  This means that most flies tied with C.D.C. are smaller; which in turn makes it a great material for trout flies.

The primary purpose of this class is to introduce tiers to C.D.C.  While the patterns in this class are fairly simple you can easily transfer the use of the C.D.C. feather to your favorite trout patterns.  The following are the flies you will tie.
