Moulinet d’Or 2004, Pêche Mouche – FR

The Magic Tool is undoubtedly an indispensable tool for every

fly tier.

It will enable you to tie all kinds of flies and to use many
components at one and the same time very easily.

You can create any pattern you can possibly think of which,
up until now, you may not have been able to visualize. Mixing
different feathers (soft or stiff), natural or synthetic dubbing – the
Magic Tool will do the trick! A whole new world of flies with
exciting colours and materials will be opened up to you.

The idea is simple. It consists of placing all the materials needed

for a fly (dubbing, hackles, CDC feathers, etc.)
in one of the 3 special clips.

All the components are then aligned, trimmed and transferred

3 table clips (28, 35 and 45 mm) – 2 clamps ( 45, 55 mm)

to help with winding and cutting synthetic material such
as Flashabou and Crystal Flash in small strands of exactly the
same size.

 CdC FeatHeRs

CDC feathers were first used in fly tying in the 1920s in

Switzerland with the two famous flies “Mouche de Vallorbe” and
“Moustique du Jura”.
White #5 Beige #7 Blue Dun #1 Blue Fluo #13
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.
Light Yellow #10 Dirty Yellow #14 Green Fluo #12
In addition to this, our Magic Tool technology gives us a whole
new range of opportunities, mixing colours and components, both
natural and new.
Cream #4 Yellow (Old) #9 Olive #8 Dark (Black) #6 Bistre #16
During the next decade, we are sure that many great patterns will
be developed.

Pink #3 Red Fluo #11 Red #15
The characteristics of CDC (Croupion De Canard)
Light and soft material.
Tough and strong fibers.
Semi-translucent ; flies tied with CDC have a more life-like
quality than flies tied with other, more opaque materials.
Highly aerodynamic ; when cast, the CDC collapses but, at
the end of the cast, it expands acting as a parachute as the fly
descends to the water. It therefore makes casting easier and fly
presentation more delicate.
Highly hydrodynamic – under water every filament pulsates
with life even in the gentlest flow or on the slowest retrieve.
Folds like real fly tissue when a fish takes a CDC fly into
its mouth. In this way, fish accept CDC flies more readily, and
are much slower to reject them, than ones made of harder
materials.
Light Mallow #2 The secret of good fly tying is to use top quality materials. We
pride ourselves in providing the fly tying world with the best CDC
feathers available, both natural (in white, beige, and dark-black) as
well as in a variety of dyed colours.
In order to preserve the very fine structure of our CDC feathers,
we have developed our own, secret and unique production
processes. Unlike other manufacturers, we specify that no
detergents, acids, or excessive heating
5g
is used. In addition, we have special finishing processes
that ensure our CDC feathers are the very best.
1g
CDC oil
The CDC oil is used as a protecting
“barrier” cream. A drop on the body
of your flies will protect them
from fish slime. The oil comes
in a small bottle which can be
attached to your vest.

 Generally our larger flies incorporate different materials
for different effects. For example, Ice FIBER fishes differently
to Ice FUR. However, all our materials have just the right amount of
pliability, neither too soft nor too stiff and we choose the right amount
(quantity & length) to get the right FISH-CATCHING effect in the
water.

Just try our flies in the water margin before fishing;

you’ll be amazed at their action.

and tension control

2009

2010
Since 1990 we have developed a small, yet comprehensive range
of fly fishing products for the modern angler. Over the years,
we have introduced many new and imaginative products to the market.
Irrespective of their cost or complexity, all are aimed at giving the innovative
fly tier the ability to make and develop better flies.

We are proud that our products have been honoured with

For all the creations 15 international awards.
