I like CDC better tied in a loop if you're using it as a sight
reference. If you want a bit of flotation value out of it, you can loop
it under the hook and then post it, leaving some barbules between the
hackle under the fly.

I tried to tie a cdc caddis, and it didnt float very well. A cdc
caddis fly I tied had antron just behind the cdc (both at 45 degree
angles, going from tail to eye it was antron the cdc).

Does antron fairly floatable?

Do any people try using a bwo but in parachute ? With a antron post
and then blue wing parachute style?



I've been recently tying some with a CDC post. They look good to me but
I haven't tried them yet.
