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
