CDC Gray Emerger Loop Wing

The CDC Gray Emerger Loop Wing is a highly effective dry fly designed to imitate an emerging mayfly, particularly in the gray or dun stages. It features a gray body, often made from dubbing or synthetic fibers, with a looped CDC (Cul de Canard) wing that creates a realistic, buoyant profile. The loop wing helps the fly stay in the surface film, mimicking a mayfly struggling to hatch. This pattern is ideal for use during mayfly hatches, especially when trout are feeding on emerging insects just below the surface. Its lifelike presentation and high visibility make it a go-to choice for trout in both still and fast-moving waters.
