CDC Tips and Tricks (discussion and tips about CDC, how to use it 100%)

in this video i will show you two tricks with CDC and i will discuss just basics about CDC.
I will talk about size, shape, quality and other properties of this precious feather.
I will not tie any flies now, I will just talk about how to apply certain feathers and techniques .
As a bonus, in the second half of the video i will present you two techniques on how to remove stem from CDC and what can you do with CDC without stem.
I hope this video is going to be useful for some of you....
Cheers and tight lines
Vladimir

Great video Vladimir. Very informative. I know I had trouble tying with CDC till we talked and watched your older video from a few years ago. But this video is way, way better. You are doing a great job of instructing with your you tube videos, keep up the good work!!!

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks buddy. I really appreciate what u say. Knowing i am on the right track is great satisfaction 😀

[@grantbreckell3081]

Fantastic instructional video , you're the man , can't wait for the upcoming ones . Cheers

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks mate, i appreciate it. 😀 I already recorded some material. 😉

[@jonathonstephenson8170]

So educating, love watching your KZbin vids, have a lot of cdc in my collection and these tips are really encouraging me to tie a few more cdc flies, been tying most of my patterns paraloop style lately and the results are a big improvement on fish takes

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thank you so much. That means a lot to. Paraloop is something i tried long ago, avoided ever since because it demanded more hackle... Now lately i am thinking about it again.... I havent given it a proper try. , 🍺🍺

Great tutorial! Even though I've been binding for quite a while with CDC there still are techniques to learn! Thanks heaps!

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks. There is always new things to learn or improve. Thats the beauty of our hobby. Cheers Vladimir

[@Airman-nr4yb]

By chance I came across your video. Besides the videos of Marc Petitjean, this is the best video I have seen on the subject of CDC Flies. I have subscribed to your vlog. Thanks for the detailed tips on this topic.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thank you so much. Cdc is one of my favourite materials. I love it in any fly

[@robinred1851]

Excellent video. One of the best so far dealing with CDC. This was really a great help. Specially the end part where you show what to do with the stam. Subscription. Greetings and tight lines 🎣 from the Čech Republic 🇨🇿.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks so much. Happy i could help. Cheers from serbian living in China 😃😃🍺

[@davidlee8999]

great video i use a tapered piece of foam for various lengths of feathers looking forward to the next videos

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

I've seen that tapered foam...very good. But habits are killing me sometimes. I use this same piece of foam for 11 years now 😂😂😂

[@PiscatorFlies]

Great tips on using CDC. I really like your split wing pattern. Cheers

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Cdc for ice flies? Thats cool i guess. Cdc moves always... Super lifelike Happy ice fishing... (i never tried it)

[@fritzer5151]

Excellent presentation!

Triangular and Oval... I learned something new today.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

I am glad to hear that. Honestly, I am not sure if those are proper names but thats how i see them and how i like to explain it to people in person. I hope its well enough. Cheers

[@k.flydesign498]

Like this video a lot

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks a lot 😀😀

[@hankvana2149]

Great information Vladimir! Thanks for sharing!

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks my friend. I will make few more videos on cdc after this ome

[@rjf1877]

Thank you very much for a very instructive video. I was wondering if you used a floatant on cdc wings or bodies ?

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

You are welcome. I dont use any floatant. After fish i rinse fly in water, squeeze it with paper tissue to remove water and after few false casts its ready to ride again.. After several fish fly loses its buoyancy, that's why i have more of them ready.

[@happyfriggincamper5455]

Great video thank you! Looking for material for legs that have action and remain dispersed underwater on nymphs - do CDC feathers typically lay flat on the body when submerged or do they act more "loose and buggy" with action?

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thank you. It depends on the angle of legs. If you lat them against the body they wont move much. If you make them. 45-120 degrees than they will move more. Search for my video "the underwater world of flies" it may be helpful. 🍻

11/13/23 19:00 Hello Oholie! Love your knowledge, skill and creativity! I’m trying to subscribe with no luck. I don’t see a ‘subscribe button’ . How can I catch all of your fantastic videos?!? Stay well

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks. Glad you enjoy my channel. Maybe browser got stuck somehow. Maybe button will pop up 🍻🍻

[@craftytroutangler]

You’ve added a bit of fluorescent fibres on a couple fly’s. I would love to know what material you’re using and how you tie them in so they don’t fall out. A couple are just a few fibres, are those enough to add to the visibility on the water? Thanks! Great video!!

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

First of all, thank you so much. As for shiny materials its ice dub. Tie it in as you wish, it will stay there no worries I add a bit, not much because its there to be an attractive detail. Insects sometimes have that shiny effect. If i put too much it can put off fish. Thats why i dont add much. Hope this helps Cheers Vladimir
