People used to call rooster feathers with stiff, shiny, unwebbed barbs "tailing feathers." CDL is like great tailing feathers.

You buy tailing packs so you don’t have to buy the entire cape. The capes are nice though, if/when you can find them. There are saddles as well. There are even hen capes, which work well for large soft hackles.

Yes, and similarly stiff. I can't discount it, a lot of people use it, it's durable, looks great, and sinks fast. However, for me, on a sinking fly, I prefer a softer, more movement prone feather, partridge or grouse, hen, barred woodduck (lemon yellow), ect, or hare. I just find a fly with a softer tail more productive.

Several quick and dirty and unpreened bucktail jerks for bass tied up during tying night.

I lashed a bunch of stuff to a large saltwater hook
Maybe I’ll get it in front of some starving, stupid fish.

@clarkman was able to crank out four flies tonight, while I could only manage one changer…

And once they've gotten wet...helps form the bucktail.

Snuck tying one up in before work and finished during lunch. Been into this color since just getting the tan grizz hen
