“CDC Paracaddis”

Flotation and visibility on fast water are behind the design and construction of the CDC Paracaddis. I fish this fly on the fast stretches of the Henry’s Fork and rivers like the Madison in Montana.
However, because this short wing post is mostly concealed by the hackle when viewed from below this style can be effective when fished on slower currents as well.
Tied in size 12-20 and in colors of Brown, Black, Tan, and Olive, the CDC Paracaddis is a reliable option when caddis are on the water.
