 CDC (Cul de Canard) feathers are highly appreciated by fly tyers for their unique properties. Cul de Canard means “duck butt,” in reference to the feathers extracted from the preening gland of ducks, particularly the mallard. These feathers are located on the duck's back, near the base of the tail. CDC feathers are valued for their buoyancy, natural oils and softness. They are often used to create delicate and realistic dry flies for fly fishing. The natural oils in CDC feathers help them repel water, keeping the fly afloat. Additionally, their softness and natural movement mimic the appearance and behavior of insects on the water surface, making them attractive to fish. Fly tyers typically use CDC feathers to tie dry flies, emergers, and other patterns intended to imitate insects that float on the surface of the water. The feathers are carefully selected and attached to the hook to create lightweight and highly effective fishing flies.
