Shuttlecock Black Cul De Canard Trout Fly

from the Turrall CDC Trout Fly Collection.

The Shuttlecock Black Cul De Canard Trout Fly is a highly effective dry fly, renowned for its ability to mimic emerging insects. Originating in the UK, this fly utilises the unique properties of Cul De Canard (CDC) feathers, which are naturally buoyant and water-repellent, allowing it to sit enticingly in the surface film.
Key features include its black body and CDC wing, which create a realistic silhouette that trout find irresistible. Perfect for still waters and rivers, this fly excels during hatches, offering anglers a reliable choice for enticing surface-feeding trout. Its design ensures a natural drift, increasing strike rates and enhancing angling success..

Shuttlecock Black Cul De Canard Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The Shuttlecock Black Cul De Canard Trout Fishing Fly is best used in stillwater and slow-moving river environments. To maximise effectiveness, present the fly with a delicate cast to avoid spooking fish. Use a floating line and a long leader to allow the fly to sit naturally in the surface film, imitating an emerging insect.
Employ a static presentation initially, allowing the fly to drift naturally. If no takes occur, use a slow, intermittent retrieve to mimic the movement of an emerging insect. Vary the retrieve speed and pauses to match the activity level of the trout.

Key Seasons - when is this

CDC Trout Fly

most effective?

The Shuttlecock Black 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 prolific hatches of various upwinged flies, such as the Blue Winged Olive and the Large Dark Olive, making it an ideal time to use this fly.
During these months, focus on overcast days with mild temperatures, as these conditions often trigger significant hatches. The fly excels in calm waters where trout are feeding just below the surface film. Additionally, late summer evenings can also be productive, especially when targeting rising trout during the last light of the day.

How does the Turrall Shuttlecock Black Cul De Canard Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Shuttlecock Black Cul De Canard Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic the emerging stage of a midge, a crucial part of a trout's diet. Midges, small two-winged insects, are abundant in freshwater environments. During their emergence, they transition from pupae to adults, struggling at the water's surface. This fly imitates that vulnerable stage, with its buoyant CDC feathers representing the midge's wings breaking through the surface film. Trout target these emerging midges as they are easy prey, providing a rich source of nutrition. The fly's realistic appearance and movement make it irresistible to feeding fish.
