High Quality CDC

I have recently acquired some high quality Cul de Canard from Romania - superb plumes with beautiful full and mobile barbs. With such a high quality product, it seemed a good idea to go back to basics and apply it to the CDC Loop emerger. These two versions hopefully epitomise the simplicity of the pattern - just thread, hare dubbing and CDC make up these two examples. I plan to have this CDC with me at the Swedish fly fair where I'll be suggesting some neat, simple ways to use this material to its full.
