CDC Emerger Pale Evening Dun Cul De Canard Trout Fly

from the Turrall CDC Trout Fly Collection.

The CDC Emerger Pale Evening Dun is a highly effective trout fly, renowned for its ability to mimic the natural emergence of mayflies. Originating from the innovative use of Cul De Canard (CDC) feathers, this fly offers exceptional buoyancy and a lifelike appearance. CDC feathers, sourced from the preen gland area of ducks, are naturally water-repellent, allowing the fly to sit perfectly in the surface film, imitating an emerging insect.
Key features include its delicate silhouette and subtle colouration, which closely resemble the Pale Evening Dun mayfly. This design is particularly effective during hatches, enticing even the most selective trout. Its history is rooted in the evolution of fly fishing techniques, where anglers sought to improve presentation and realism. The CDC Emerger is a must-have in any angler's fly box, offering versatility and proven success in various fishing conditions..

- Fishing Techniques.
The CDC Emerger Pale Evening Dun is best used during hatches when trout are feeding on emerging insects. To maximise effectiveness, present the fly upstream and allow it to drift naturally with the current. Use a dead-drift technique, ensuring the fly floats just below the surface film to mimic an emerging insect. Employ a light tippet for a more natural presentation.
For retrieves, use gentle twitches to simulate struggling emergers, attracting attention. In still waters, a slow hand-twist retrieve can be effective. Position yourself downstream of rising fish to avoid spooking them, and cast with minimal false casting to reduce line splash.

Key Seasons - when is this

CDC Trout Fly

most effective?
The CDC Emerger Pale Evening Dun is most effective during late spring to early summer, typically from May to July, when the Pale Evening Dun hatches are at their peak. This fly excels in calm, overcast conditions, which mimic the natural emergence of these insects.
During these months, focus on fishing in the late afternoon to early evening when the duns are most active. Look for slow-moving waters or the edges of riffles where trout are likely to be feeding on emerging duns. Adjust your approach based on water temperature and insect activity for optimal results.

How does the Turrall CDC Emerger Pale Evening Dun Cul De Canard Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The CDC Emerger Pale Evening Dun fly mimics the subimago stage of the mayfly, specifically the Pale Evening Dun species. This stage occurs when the nymph rises to the water's surface to shed its exoskeleton and emerge as a winged adult. The fly's design, featuring Cul de Canard feathers, replicates the delicate, buoyant appearance of the emerging insect, making it irresistible to trout. Fish target this stage because the emerging mayflies are vulnerable and abundant, providing an easy and nutritious meal. The fly's realistic movement and silhouette effectively trigger the trout's predatory instincts.
