Caenid
- a type of small mayfly
Caddis - one of the three most important aquatic
insects imitated by fly fishermen; found world wide in
all freshwater habitats; adult resembles a moth when in
flight, at rest the wings are folded in a tent like shape
down the back; the most important aquatic state of the
caddis is the pupa, which is its emerging stage Callibaetis
widely distributed genus of mayfly that is commonly found
in lakes - often called the "Speckled Wing Dun" because
of the speckled markings on the leading edge of the adult's
wings. Callibaetis are usually found in sizes 16
& 18.
Cane Rod - a rod made of cane, the choice of traditionalist,
should be every one's wish list
Cape - Part of a bird skin used for fly tying flies
Cast - the action of the line as it is pushed by
the rod - also the line used as the leader
Casting Arc - the path that the fly rod follows
during a complete cast, usually related to the face of
a clock
Chalk stream - a mall stream that has risen from
a spring in a chalk hillside
Clinch Knot - universally used knot for attaching
a hook, lure, swivel, or fly to the leader or line; a
slight variation results in the improved clinch knot,
which is an even stronger knot for the above uses
CDC - stands for "Cul de Canard" which literally
translates to "butt of the duck". Used both to refer to
the feathers from the area around the oil gland of a duck
and also to the flies tied with these feathers. The feathers
from this area are very wispy and impregnated with natural
oils making them extremely waterproof Coch-y-bonddu
- red-brown hackle with black centers and tips
Cock Hackles - The neck feathers of a cockerel
Comparadun - series of no-hackle dry flies developed
by Caucci & Nastasi in 1970's using a hair wing tied in
a 180° flair. They are very effective patterns in slow
moving clear water where an imitative (as opposed to impressionistic)
pattern is needed
Copolymers - mixtures of various nylons and plastics
along with anti-UV chemicals that have resulted in the
exceptionally high breaking strength of modern tippet
material. Copolymers are not as abrasion resistant as
regular nylon monofilament
