CDC Victory Dry Fly - Red Baron

Product detailed description

CDC Victory Dry Fly - Red Baron. One of our favourite dun dry fly pattern tied with a little bit longer V-shaped wing positioned upright, and a hot orange floss inserted between the CDC wings. It has a perfect silhouette, very appealing to the fish. We caught many nice grayling / trout on it. Give it a try!

The CDC Victory Dry Fly – Red Baron is a floating dry fly designed to imitate emerging and adult duns and mayflies with exceptional realism. Its split CDC wing and V-shaped design, combined with a red body and subtle gold ribbing, create a lifelike silhouette and natural segmentation.
