CDC Submerger – RIO
Emerging caddis are a slow-moving, haphazard insect phase that attract trout. This pattern features CDC with UV ice dubbing, creating natural color contrasts that mimic real insects in the water.
The life-like CDC material provides excellent realism and natural buoyancy, keeping the pattern just below the surface where trout feed.

The CDC Submerger looks very realistic and floats naturally. I’ve used it in calm streams and it caught several trout during early morning hours. The color contrast from the UV dubbing stands out in the water.
Eric Parr –
A solid pattern for emerging insects. It stays near the surface and doesn’t sink too quickly. Works well in clear water conditions. A bit more expensive, but worth it for the realism.

Used this in a trout stream and had a great success. The natural buoyancy keeps it in the right spot. The UV dubbing gives it a lifelike appearance that trout respond to.
