Tommi-Fly CDC Wild Duck

The Natural Buoyancy for Dry Flies

CDC (Cul de Canard) is one of the most valuable natural materials in modern fly tying. Sourced from the feathers surrounding a duck's preen gland, CDC naturally contains fine oils that work together with its unique fibre structure to provide exceptional buoyancy, delicate movement and an incredibly lifelike appearance on the water.

Unlike traditional rooster hackle, CDC allows flies to sit naturally in the surface film while trapping microscopic air bubbles within its fibres. This creates an extremely realistic presentation that perfectly imitates emerging aquatic insects, making CDC an indispensable material for selective trout and grayling.

Today, CDC is featured in countless proven fly patterns including the F-Fly, CDC Comparadun, CDC & Elk, Shuttlecock Emerger and Loop Wing Emerger. Its outstanding floating ability and natural movement have made it one of the most trusted fly tying materials available.
