CDC

A place to discuss the collecting and tying of classic flies, the tyers who made them famous, the tools, materials and techniques they used as well as the waters they were designed for. While classic is generally used to describe old things, classic is also used in the sense of first class or in the highest form. Therefore a fully dressed Salmon Fly, or a Carrie Stevens Streamer are just as much classics as a Chernobyl Ant would be. Enjoy the forum.

I've watched a few videos of guys down under who are big fans of possum as a CDC alternative. There's even a line of possum dubbing with Aussie in the name. I've never thought of possum in this way, but what do I know. Most references to possum that I've seen have been about sinking flies. Anyone here got the scoop on this?

Hi Guys, We used to use Australian Possum for the thorax on latex stoneflies. I think it was a Poul Jorgenson thing. Probably good for a lot of stuff..
