CDC Evolution flies by Mauro Raspini
The Cul de Canard is the protagonist of the CDC Evolution fly series by Mauro Raspini
These flies by master fly tyer Mauro Raspini reflect decades of experience and pay tribute to the exceptional qualities of CDC feathers. The fine Cul-de-Canard material provides outstanding buoyancy and gives the patterns an incredibly lifelike appearance on the water. Especially when targeting selective trout and grayling or fishing under difficult conditions, CDC Evolution flies reveal their full potential. Every pattern is tied to a very high standard and inspired by realistic insect profiles. With the CDC Evolution flies by Mauro Raspini, you get modern classics that not only look impressive but also perform exceptionally well on the water.
CDC EVOLUTION – THE LEGENDARY CDC FLY SERIES BY MAURO RASPINI
Roberto Messori, founder of the renowned Fly Line publishing house and editor of Italy's leading fly fishing magazine of the same name, published an exceptional book together with Mauro Raspini. Raspini is internationally recognised as one of the world's finest fly tiers, with decades of experience in fly fishing at the highest level.
Entitled CDC Evolution, the book presents 49 dry fly patterns tied primarily with CDC (Cul de Canard). Working closely with Mauro Raspini, we are proud to offer the complete CDC Evolution fly series exclusively. It gives every fly angler access to a carefully developed selection of dry flies capable of covering virtually every river, lake and fishing situation across Europe.
Many of these flies are based on classic, time-tested patterns that Mauro Raspini has refined using CDC and modern tying materials. At the heart of the entire series are the remarkable properties of CDC (Cul de Canard) feathers, which provide these flies with their outstanding buoyancy, lifelike appearance and exceptional fish-catching ability.
We are proud to tie these flies according to Mauro Raspini's exact specifications and to offer the complete CDC Evolution series exclusively through our fly fishing shop.
We also highly recommend the book CDC Evolution (available in English). Besides detailed step-by-step tying instructions, it provides valuable insights into the properties of CDC, explains how each pattern should be fished and includes countless practical tips from one of the world's leading fly tiers.
