Free Saturday Morning Demonstration Date Featured Tier Description Nov 12th Paul Prentiss Tying with CDC - CDC is known as one of the best fly tying materials on the planet. Its use in this country got started in the late 1980's, but it has been the material of choice for Europeans since the 1920's. Many of today's patterns draw on the developments in Europe during the 1950's and 60's. Paul will discuss why CDC is such a fantastic and versatile option, and you will see techniques used by many Europeans via videos and commentary. Paul will tie a few patterns each of which will use different approaches to working with CDC. The objective here is to make you reflect on how you can use CDC in your tying endeavors.
