CDC and Elk

This is my version of the classic (from hans Weilleman i think) which accounted for the majority of the fish we caught from the Wye. As with all the flies I tie I keep it as simple as possible so that when my bloody Father gets his filthy mits on it and sticks it in a tree I am not too upset. I tie them in a range of sizes and change the dubbing colour to try and match the sedges hatching.



Hook, Tiemco 103BL size 19
