CDC & Peacock Palmer
by Kuba Chruszczewski
The brown feather of the rooster and the glossy, fluffy rays of the sword feather of the peacock are a combination of materials that works well in many classic designs. No one probably needs convincing about the effectiveness of such well-known flies as Red Tag or Coachman. The latter inspired me to create a dry fly, whose design promotes good buoyancy in rough water (rich blackberry), while the white wings help with sighting in difficult conditions. Here's the CDC & Peacock Pallmer in a few steps:
1.I tie wings from a fairly rich bunch of white CDC, put them vertically.
2. in front of the wings, I attach two-three peacock rays and a rooster feather in brown badger color to the blackberry. I make the tail from several rays of the same feather.
3.I twist the peacock with the leading thread, wind the trunk towards the tail, fix it with the thread and leave it here.
4.I wind the dense blackberry - three coils in front of, three behind the wings and continue towards the tail. I tie the feather with a leading thread and wind the whole thing with it in the direction of the hook eye. I make the head, and seal it.
5 This is the position on the surface of the water that a properly made fly takes.
