This popular dry fly material has high buoyancy
due to trapping air in its mesh of fine fibres.
F-Fly
the simplest of CDC flies.
For the body I use feather herl in most cases, just a few being dubbed. Almost any wing/body colour combination is possible. If you want something different from those illustrated, please ask.
As designed by Agostino Roncallo. This delicate little dry fly floats by means of a bubble of air trapped in the thorax, which consists of a CDC pompom of dubbing overlaid by a CDC thorax cover. The fly is constructed from a single CDC feather.

There is no special name for this little fly, which like the above floats with a CDC bubble, but is simpler to tie.
