PETITJEAN CDC Feathers - The Gold Standard for Fly Tying

Elevate your fly tying and fishing success with the world-renowned PETITJEAN CDC Feathers. As a cornerstone product in the Lures and Fly Tying category, these feathers represent the pinnacle of quality and performance, trusted by discerning anglers and professional tyers across the globe. Each feather is a testament to our dedication to providing materials that bring your creations to life, ensuring your time at the vice translates directly to more effective, irresistible flies on the water.

The inherent properties of our CDC feathers provide unmatched benefits for a vast array of patterns. Their remarkable natural buoyancy is legendary, allowing you to tie dry flies that float high and proud, and emergers that sit perfectly in the surface film, mimicking the most vulnerable stage of an insect´s life. This is complemented by a subtle, lifelike movement that is simply irresistible to fish. In the slightest current, the delicate barbules pulsate and breathe, creating a trigger-point for even the most selective trout. Like a master calligrapher choosing the perfect nib for their fountain pens, the discerning fly tyer knows that the quality of the material dictates the final creation. Petitjean CDC is that perfect tool for your vice.

A Legacy of Innovation in Fly Tying

The history of these remarkable feathers is deeply rooted in the traditions of European fly fishing. CDC feathers were first used in fly tying in the 1920s in Switzerland with the two famous flies ´´Mouche de Vallorbe´´ and ´´Moustique du Jur´´. This pioneering use set the stage for what would become one of the most essential materials in the modern fly tyer´s arsenal.

In recent years the use of CDC has increased greatly, and we now use this superb material in all kinds of flies from dry flies and emergers to nymphs and streamers. Its versatility knows no bounds, offering unique advantages whether you are building a buoyant wing, a buggy thorax, a soft hackle collar, or a mobile tail. In addition to this, our Magic Tool technology gives us a whole new range of opportunities, mixing colours and components, both natural and new, to create patterns that were previously unimaginable. During the next decade, we are sure that many great patterns will be developed, and our CDC will be at the heart of that innovation.
