    CDC Klinkhammer Brown - Dry Fly

    CDC Klinkhammer Brown created by Hans Van Klinken.


    CDC Klinkhammer Brown

    This is definitely an essential fly. This excellent fish-catching fly was devised by the innovative Dutch fly-tyer Hans Van Klinken. The fly, which hangs down in the water supported by the parachute hackle, could be classed as an emerger, an aquatic insect on the point of hatching; whatever the classification, the trout certainly find it extremely attractive. It has been effective on English chalk streams for both trout and grayling. The hackle has floatant applied with the body taking in water so that it sits low as an emerger.

    The CDC Klinkhammer Brown is an incredible fish catching fly devised by the innovative Dutch fly tyer Hans Van Klinken for trout and grayling. When on a course with Oliver Edwards he said to us that this fly should be kept in the car glove boxe next to your pack of emergency condoms....... this fly is absolutely incredible, even when fish asre not taking on the surface this fly is known to 'lift' fish.The fly hangs down in the water supported by the parachute hackle. Due to to body of the pupa sitting under the surface while the hackle and wing are on the surface it represents an emerging caddis fly. The CDC Klinkhammer Brown is tied with CDC on the post. The CDC Klinkhammer Brown is effective on everywhere from English chalk streams to rivers world-wide. At The Essential Fly we have also devised a high visibility variant of the CDC Klinkhammer Brown with black and luminous yellow posts.


    Use The CDC Klinkhammer Brown To Catch:


    The CDC Klinkhammer Brown can be used to catch Rainbow Trout

    The CDC Klinkhammer Brown can be used to catch Brown Trout

    The CDC Klinkhammer Brown can be used to catch Grayling



    As the name indicates dry flies which include CDC Klinkhammer Brown are designed to float on the surface of the water. Trout dry flies types which include CDC Klinkhammer Brown imitate a wide variery of flies and insects which inhabit the surface of the water. There is nothing like using dry flies and watching trout and grayling rise to the surface. To purists dry fly fishing is the true art-form of fly fishing, indeed some rivers only permit dry fly fishing. There are some dry flies (e.g. the Popper, Muddlers) which are designed to attract fish by the action of creating a surface disturbance. The flies are made from very bouyant materials (e.g, cork, ethafoam or deer hair, the latter having a generous application of floatant). A Muddler retrieved upwind of a rise can often result in a bulge in the water as the fish follows the fly.

    Dry Fly Fishing Techniques With The CDC Klinkhammer Brown

    A dry fly like CDC Klinkhammer Brown has flotant (Gink is the most popular) warmed in your hand and gently rubbed into the hackles to help CDC Klinkhammer Brown float and they are usually cast singly on a trout tapered leader. A floating line is used, but with the tapered leader de-greased so that it does not glint and flash light spooking the trout

    Special Fishing Techniques with the CDC Klinkhammer Brown

    The CDC Klinkhammer Brown is fished by putting floatant on the wing post and moistening the body (I put it in my mouth and use spittle to make the body wet and sink into the surface film). The fly is then floated down stream with constant mends as appropriate to stop the CDC Klinkhammer Brown skimming the stream as it must float naturally at the speed of the current.

    I bought this in a variety of colours in the smaller sizes. The Klink types are very fiddly to tie in the very small sizes and TEF have an excellent finish and scale to them.
