A CDC Caddis, although quite simplistic in its appearance, is a proven fish-catching fly. These flies imitate an emerging adult insect which makes them perfect for just about any venue when the Trout are on the rise. The CDC Caddis is quite adaptable and can be tied in a variety of different patterns; one of which is this Chocolate Drop/Brown from Davie McPhail. Not only is the pattern a great option for a caddis imitation, but it also doubles up as a great-searching pattern in between other fly hatches.
All of the materials needed to tie this fly are available from Glasgow Angling Centre as listed below, but as always, if you need any help finding materials or substitutes then we'll be happy to help. Time to tie the CDC Chocolate Drop/Brown Caddis, with the guidance of Davie McPhail.
