While tying some caddis flies this weekend, an idea occurred to me. When I tie my normal caddis dries, I do not use hackle. Instead, I use an under wing of cdc with elk or deer hair over top of that. As I was tying in the cdc, I wondered why I never tie any soft hackle wet flies with a wing of cdc. Time prohibited me from doing so, but I think I will this week.
Imagine a lead winged coachmen style wet, but instead of mallard quill wings you have a bundle of cdc fibers. I am sure they will work.
Anyone ever try this?
