The cdc feathers  being naturally oily hold the fly in the film and the fish will usually sip them  in. Fish the fly static and do not attempt to put any floatant on the fly . <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 18pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The only drawback is that  after a fish has been caught the fly must be changed and allowed to dry before  using again. When the fish are on it you get through plenty of flies !! <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 18pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">In larger sizes the olive  version can be very effective during hatches of olives. The fly can fish very  well on mild winter days when there are nearly always some buzzers hatching and  locally a black version in size 18 can perform very well in winter for those  anglers willing to try the floating line. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 18pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">On the rivers the fly is a  good one to try when fish are rising but you are not certain what exactly they  want. Experiment with sizes and colours until you find the right combination. Do  not allow to drag or else the fly will become water logged although it can still  take fish beneath the surface ! <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The F Fly Materials required: Fine wire emerger hook Sizes 14 \u2013 20 Body \u2013 fine olive, black or brown seal`s fur or substitute Tying thread \u2013 olive 8\/0 or colour to match body Wing \u2013 natural cdc feathers Tying: &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.troutflies.co.uk\/blog\/useful-tying-patterns\/cdc-f-fly\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.troutflies.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.troutflies.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.troutflies.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.troutflies.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.troutflies.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=100"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.troutflies.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":115,"href":"https:\/\/www.troutflies.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100\/revisions\/115"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.troutflies.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=100"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.troutflies.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=100"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.troutflies.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
