DHE v CDC/Elk

[east wind]

I sometimes use McFlylon - what is different about aero dry wing, is it worth getting?

It's much more expensive for a start Fred. I still have McFlylon but rarely use it now I just find it a bit stiff, perhaps alright for posts?. The aero dry wing seems to be softer and can be spread about more. It's when the fly is drifting I think this softness gives it a better appearance of life than McFlylon. The closest thing to CDC without the maintenance grief, that's my thinking anyway but I don't have experience of a wide range of materials.

I use the medium or dark dun, the stuff seems to reflect daylight making it light coloured and it easy to see and in the gloaming it changes to black and stands out a mile through the murk.

As Darwin says it comes wrapped round a card and will last for a while. I double up or triple up the group of fibers as they come off the card to make enough for a wing. I use it for BWO's or other flies that size or smaller for the night fishing (a month late as well  This is where the softness of the stuff is useful.
