CDC/Soft Hackle Caddis

The tie:
#10 TMC2487 BL hook
tan UNI 8/0 thread
Hare dubbing dyed olive
gold UNI #16 tinsel
two natural CDC feathers + one brown partridge feather, spun together in loop

This pattern was inspired by Triple Threat Caddis by Jim Slattery; while I really liked his pattern I thought it would benefit from a little touch of CDC. Did I mention I am a big fan of tying with CDC? :)

  2. Are you spinning the CDC like a hackle? Or just tying on top of the fly?
