Tungsten Pink CDC fly

Per Dozen $ 7.00

Description

Product Overview The Tungsten Pink CDC fly represents an innovative approach to subsurface fishing, combining the natural properties of CDC with a tungsten bead and attractive pink coloration. This specialized pattern features carefully selected CDC feathers that create incredibly lifelike movement underwater while maintaining a rapid sink rate. Each fly is meticulously crafted to maintain exact specifications that make this pattern highly effective across varied fishing conditions.

Design Excellence and Heritage Drawing from modern Euro-nymphing techniques while incorporating traditional CDC technology, the Tungsten Pink CDC fly showcases the perfect balance between weight and natural movement. The pattern’s carefully selected CDC feathers create dynamic action in the water that precisely mimics various aquatic insects, while the pink coloration and tungsten bead provide both attraction and function.
