CDC Feathers, or Cul-De-Canard, as you may hear them referred to, are some of the most widely-used feathers in fly tying. They’re part of dozens of patterns, from nymphs to dry flies.

CDC feathers come from the preen gland area on a duck, and as such, they’re naturally water repellent. That makes them ideal for use on dry fly patterns, including:

Emergers like the RS2
Comparaduns
Caddis
Blue-Winged Olives
Pale Morning Duns

These light, fluffy feathers also do a great job of imitating trapped air bubbles on nymphs and other early stages of aquatic insects.

CDC feathers are available in more than a dozen colours.
