CDC Biot Dun BWO

Adult Pattern

The CDC Biot Dun is a productive, classic sailboat profile pattern we like to fish on local streams. The Wing sits high and rides like a natural adult mayfly.

CDC Biot Emerger BWO

Mid-Stage Emerger

This is our BWO workhorse pattern on spring and fall afternoons. We fish these primarily on rainy and overcast afternoons during the thick of the hatch.

CDC Captive Dun BWO

Early-Stage Emerger

The CDC Captive Dun BWO is a great emerger option early in the hatch phase when fish are tailing and just beginning to target insects reaching the surface.

CDC Cripple BWO

Knock-Down

The CDC Cripple BWO is a fantastic fall/spring pattern that fishes well when trout become selective—when they're focused on knockdowns and insects stuck in the surface tension.
