I'm not sure of others' reasons, but I'll sometimes throw some CDC on a
fly just
to give it a nice motion in the water.

But isn't the Trude a dry fly? The point I'm trying to get at is, will that
CDC even see the water? Will the hackle float the fly to the point that the
CDC will remain above water?

I thought CDC is good for floating a fly. If the CDC never gets near the
water, because it's used as a wing on a hackled dry fly, isn't that
defeating the purpose?

I can see the use of CDC as the wing material on an emerger, but for a dry
fly?
