The olive hue is particularly effective in clear waters, matching the natural colouration of many aquatic insects.
Key features include its slim profile and delicate hackle, which create a realistic silhouette on the water's surface. Anglers appreciate its versatility and success rate in enticing trout, making it a staple in fly boxes across the UK..

- Fishing Techniques.
The CDC Palomino Buzzer Olive Cul De Canard Trout Fishing Fly is best used in still waters and slow-moving rivers. To maximise effectiveness, present the fly with a delicate cast to avoid spooking fish. Use a floating line and a long, fine leader to ensure a natural drift. The fly should be allowed to sit on the surface, imitating an emerging insect. Employ a slow, steady retrieve with occasional twitches to mimic the natural movement of a hatching buzzer. Fish during hatches for best results, targeting areas where trout are visibly rising. Adjust the depth by adding a small amount of weight if necessary.
Key Seasons - when is this
CDC Trout Fly
most effective?
The CDC Palimino Buzzer Olive Cul De Canard Trout Fishing Fly is most effective during the spring and early summer months, particularly from April to June. This period coincides with the hatching of midges and olives, making it an ideal time to use this fly. It excels in calm, clear waters where trout are feeding near the surface. Overcast days with mild temperatures enhance its effectiveness, as these conditions often lead to increased insect activity. During late summer and early autumn, it can also be effective during evening rises when trout are actively feeding on emergent insects.
How does the Turrall CDC Palimino Buzzer Olive Cul De Canard Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The CDC Palimino Buzzer Olive Cul De Canard fly is designed to mimic the emerging stage of a midge, a crucial part of a trout's diet. Midges, small two-winged insects, undergo a transformation from larva to pupa before emerging as adults. This fly imitates the pupa stage, when midges are most vulnerable as they rise to the water's surface. Trout target these emerging midges due to their abundance and ease of capture. The CDC material used in the fly enhances its buoyancy and lifelike appearance, making it an irresistible target for feeding trout.
