The CDC Peacock looks very realistic and matches the hatch perfectly in the morning stream. I used it during a dry spell and caught several trout. It’s a reliable pattern for riffle fishing.
Jacob Dyer –
Great addition to my dry fly box. It floats well and stays on the surface. I’ve used it during several hatches and it consistently draws fish.
Lauren Scott –
Highly recommended for caddisfly season. The color and shape are spot-on. I’ve seen it work well in both clear and slightly cloudy water.
