CDC Baetis Dun

TroutFilm

A CDC-only wing, fine-wire hook, minimum silhouette — French competition tyers have spent decades reducing this to its essence. The Pyrenean no-kill fish see a lot of flies and have opinions about them. A standard parachute can last three presentations. This one buys more time.

Fish this when

Technical rising fish on no-kill parcours — especially the pressured sections of the Nive and Ariège — refusing the usual patterns. 7x tippet, reach cast, watch for any unnatural movement.
