The Shuttlecock Olive CDC Barbless is a highly effective, stillwater midge emerger with an olive body and buoyant CDC wing. The wing rests at the surface while the slim body hangs below, matching a chironomid at the vulnerable point of emergence.
Fish it static in a ripple or with an extremely slow draw on a floating line. Use only desiccant-type powder on the CDC wing to preserve its natural buoyancy and movement. Placed accurately, it gives you every chance of seeing a trout commit at the surface.
