Cdc direct hackle cream

Description

Heritage and Design Excellence The CDC Direct Hackle Cream represents an innovative approach to caddis pupa imitation, utilizing CDC feathers tied directly as hackle for maximum effectiveness. This specialized pattern features premium CDC feathers arranged to create an incredibly lifelike silhouette in the surface film while maintaining perfect buoyancy. The pattern’s unique design allows for exact imitation of emerging caddis, with the cream-colored CDC providing natural movement and realistic coloration that triggers strikes. Each fly is meticulously crafted to maintain the exact specifications that make this pattern so effective across varied fishing conditions.
