Petejean CDC Caddis

- This fly is such an easy and quick fly to tie when you have the Petejean Magic clip system. I am so grateful to Justin for giving me this (along with many other things) recently. This is the first fly I tried with this clip system and many more to come. I really enjoy tying with it and it opens up many possibilities for flies.
This caddis is not only easy, but it will float very well since it's tied with all CDC feathers. CDC floats so well and unless overly washed, has oils to keep it afloat. If it doesn't though just add a bit of floatant to it and it will stay buoyant. I am not sure if his version had a bit of flash in it or not, but I figured it would help add to this fly especially for where I plan on fishing it.

Marc also does this in a stacked method gathering the fibers in the clip with a “stacker” tool, then it’s much like a hair wing. Nice tie!
Thank you, yeah I think I saw the stacked one also. Whatcha think?
Great pattern. I also got a set of those Petitjean clips. Game changer. CDC also a wonderful material. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from Calgary Alberta Canada.
Thank you! Yeah those clips are awesome
I love this pattern and am wondering how well this would work with a small amount of peacock hurl added to the head either just behind the wing or in front of it before you whip finish it and then either uv resin or some form of head cement to hold the thread, also what exactly are cdc feathers and how expensive are they?
Thanks! Glad you like the pattern, Petejean did come up with a good one for sure. I believe I did use solarez on the head of this fly to secure it. If you want to use traditional head cement then that will work also. As for peacock hurl, I can’t imagine it wouldn’t work. Give it a try! Most new patterns are formed this way, someone has an idea of how to improve a specific fly for their situation and start tying something differently. CDC comes from the rear end of a duck. It’s got oils all over it that are secreted from the duck to help the duck float. They aren’t cheap feathers but, not super expensive either. I’ve got links in the description section to where you can purchase some. Or if you find better deals elsewhere then try those.
I feel like you could have just used the feather like normal to make the same hackle.
Probably, I was just going along with the originator of the fly
Thanks again, killer pattern. I've been using this one for years. It works when they are on caddis. Try some frogs fanny on the cdc and skate it for a real treat!!!😮
Awesome thanks, I’ll try skating it for sure
Now that is so cool using split thread to make hackle. Awesome video bud.
Glad you liked it! Thanks!
@@McFlyAngler yeah i did. You're welcome
Try trimming the body using curved scissors it helps alot
Cool thanks I’ll look into getting some. I don’t have curved currently. I will say I think it kinda turned out with the straight. On a curved hook for sure I think the curved scissors would be super helpful
@@McFlyAngler my pleasure I love tying with cdc. If you have a chance to view Petitjean's book CDC it will blow you away.
I’ll try to get the book at one point for sure thanks
Great video so glad you’re really enjoying the clips 😊
Thank you, and yes I really do love them! They are really cool and super effective. Thank you very much
@@McFlyAngler your very welcome
Very nice fly
Thanks 👍
