CDC

After we have made a wide range of diverse very good fly-tying materials available to you, we made an effort to produce a fly-tying tool reflecting the quality of our fly-tying materials.

Our employee Christian Kuchelmeister thought a lot about design and practical application and developed a tool in an unrepresented quality and function.

Now we can present you the result of our efforts: our "multiclamp". The modern material clamp is made of high-strength stainless steel. The surface is not dazzling. The design is modern but at the same time trimmed for functionality. The clamping range is open so that it is possible to bundle up and work on the trapped material with your thumb and forefinger without any other tools. The jaw is pointed shaped thus it is possible to go directly into the deer hair. Therefore you can take it over the entire jaw width into the dubbing loop. Moreover, artificial material like craft-fur or fake-fur can be picked up directly out of the mat into the clamp. Thus, our multiclamp can be used not only for traditional fly-tying with our CDC materials. So, we address also fly-tiers who must get much artificial material into the loop by tying streamers. A ruler in a 5-mm graduation is lasered on at the jaws so that the material can be tied in in the same amount every time. Another advantage has our multiclamp while using coarser hair dubbing. The loose hair can be picked up from the table because of a small radius at the clamping edge.

Standard Grade CDC can be used in a wide variety of applications, from the smallest, most delicate dry fly to the largest mayfly. From the freshwater shrimp to the tempting nymph, right up to the streamer, sea trout fly and even the salmon fly. Our Standard Grade always fits the bill.

Did you know that every breeding duck only yields 2 or 3 particularly long CDC feathers in the winter? These feathers are hand selected at the same time as the “Super Select” feathers. The extra long XL and Super Select feathers are dyed in batches of up to 50g. The difficulty in obtaining even small amounts of these feathers can mean that every colour and hue is not always available. These larger feathers are becoming particularly popular for trout and salmon fishing in Scandinavia.

Just like the name says, these are exclusive feathers, each one of them hand selected! Only well-trained and dependable personnel are allowed to select these feathers. The result is of such superior quality that it has become a firm favourite of world-famous fly tiers. You too can make wonderful flies with our “Super Select” feathers. You don’t have to stop at dry flies either, CDC nymphs are also very successful. Every feather of the pack is useable, so this raw material pays for itself.

The people of Sonogno in the Verzasca Valley (Ticino, Switzerland) were dying Wool with leaves, walnut shells, onion skins and other natural dyes as early as 150 years ago.

The fibres are carefully separated from the CDC feathers. The dubbing gained from this process is perfectly suited for making both attractive nymph bodies and the delicate dry fly.
