Description I am delighted and proud to offer what I consider to be the finest CDC plumes I have ever tied with – from SWISS CDC of Riazzino, Switzerland. The company was established in 2002 by three fly fishermen who have a passion for and years of experience in tying with CDC between them. As a matter of principle, Swiss CDC only offer duck CDC taken from winter feathers. They made this decision on the basis of the significantly better quality. Ducks breed less in the winter, which means that the appearance of the feathers is considerably better. In the warmer seasons, the breeding ducks are subjected to heat and even greater burdens. The result is of such superior quality that it has become a firm favourite of world-famous fly tiers, including Leon Links, Jean-Paul Dessaigne and Oliver Edwards. For those of you that are aware of the grading of CDC by Hans Weilenmann, these are Type 1 feathers – supple stems with masses of barbs coming off the stem at a 60 degree angle. “CDC SUPER SELECT” Pack size: 1g – contains 100 – 120 feathers Feather length: 3 cm – 4 cm Just like the name says, these are exclusive feathers, each one of them HAND SELECTED. Only well-trained and dependable personnel are allowed to select these feathers. DYED FEATHERS – £15.95 UNDYED FEATHERS – £ 16.95 ( colours 01, 02, 06, 07, 08) Every feather of the pack is useable, so this raw material pays for itself.
