Some great stuff being posted on here. Time to lower the bar!

Not very productive, but at least I'm back at the vice at last!

Great stuff Allan.

Dennis I like that  caddis.

Be gentle  :lol: my first ever dabble with CDC.


A genuine question, what length should the CDC be on most patterns like the one above?

[Wildfisher]

Looks OK to me George! 

[scotfly]

Wing looks fine to me, as does the rest of the fly.  :
As a rule of thumb the wing is normally the same length (or slightly longer) as the body.

not for the purists: "here pikey, pikey....!" :

sorry for the picture quality, the camera's not too good at macro and it was hand-held. can't see the eyes lasting the first attack, but it was fun to make
