Product information
- Classic CDC Emerger Pattern — The CDC Blue Winged Olive Emerger is a modern staple using Cul de Canard (CDC) feathers, popularized in the 1980s-1990s by European tiers like Marc Petitjean and adopted widely in the U.S. for its unmatched natural floatation and lifelike movement; CDC emergers have revolutionized dry fly and emerger fishing for nearly 40 years, especially for matching delicate mayfly hatches
- Deadly BWO Emerger Imitation — Precisely mimics emerging Blue Winged Olive (Baetis) mayflies in the surface film during prolific spring, fall, and even winter hatches; the low-riding CDC wing and trailing shuck capture the vulnerable transitional stage that often produces the most selective and aggressive trout rises
- Premium CDC Construction — Hand-tied with genuine Cul de Canard feathers for superior natural buoyancy and subtle movement that imitates a struggling emerger without any added floatants; sparse dubbing body, split tails or shuck, and minimal hackle create a realistic, film-riding profile that's incredibly effective and durable
- Versatile for Technical Waters & Hatches — Excels on tailwaters, spring creeks, slow rivers, and stillwaters where trout feed selectively on emergers; deadly for brown, rainbow, brook, and cutthroat trout in western (Colorado, Montana, Wyoming), eastern, and tailwater fisheries during Baetis-heavy periods from sizes 16-24
- Must-Have Emerger in Any Fly Box — One of the most consistently productive patterns for tough, clear-water conditions and when fish ignore floating duns in favor of emergers; the CDC BWO version is a go-to for matching widespread Blue Winged Olive hatches, delivering confident takes and often outfishing traditional dries during peak emergence.
