Yellow-Olive CDC Dun is my favourite dry fly with CDC wing when I fish on rivers with slow running currents. I made it based on old recipe of a CDC dry fly from Mouche Devaux catalog. It is efficient for both trout and grayling and the size I use mostly is #16 hook.
Materials used:
- Hook: #16 fine wire hook
- Thread: for body I use Champion Micro Split in yellow or Perdigon Body Thread in yellow
- Ribbing: Perdigon Body Thread in yellow
- Tail: Coq de Leon Rubion
- Thorax: guard squirrel fur dubbed or fixed using the split thread technique
- Wing: 2 cdc feathers.
