Coq De Leon - Browntrout - 02-28-2014 CDL is a popular tailing product. There are at least 7 different CDL variations/color. Does anyone tie with CDL and what color do you recommend? Also, is Hareline CDL a good product? Wide variety of product/prices in the market place. Thanks. [signature] Re: [Browntrout] Coq De Leon - Lobina_Mosca - 02-28-2014 Yes, Hareline CDL is great stuff. Very stiff and clean fibers for tails. Something else to consider is the hen CDL from Whiting. Good stuff: http://www.flyfishfood.com/2014/02/tie-killer-hares-ear.html I like it for tails and wings on nymphs mostly. The colors they offer are amazing... [signature] Re: [Browntrout] Coq De Leon - flygoddess - 02-28-2014 I use the Whiting. AWESOME on softhackles too ![]() ![]() [signature] Re: [Lobina_Mosca] Coq De Leon - Browntrout - 03-01-2014 Thank you for the reply. Hareline offers 7 choices---Is there 2 or 3 colors you would recommend for most applications? Whiting offers 19 colors --- What colors do you recommend ? You and Cheech are doing an excellent job with your website. [signature] Re: [Browntrout] Coq De Leon - Lobina_Mosca - 03-01-2014 Thanks BrownTrout. On the Hareline CDL (again I use more for tails on dries), I like the Barred Speckled (Aconchado) and the Ginger Speckled (Flor de Escoba) is a nice lighter alternative. Whiting also has some great rooster ![]() The Whiting colors, assuming you're talking about the Hens, really just depend on what you're going to tie. I have most of the colors in the Hen Saddle CDL and I use the Speckled Copper Olive and the Brown Speckled Probably most. I use that on nymph tails, legs, soft hackles and such. If you want to try a different style of CDL, their "Full Soft Hackle w/ Chickabou" is great. Killer stuff in there. Check out the Chickabugger, made entirely from one pelt, two different feathers: http://www.flyfishfood.com/2014/02/chickabugger.html Anyway, hope that helps.
