The CDC & Link is an amalgamation of two of my favorite flies: the Missing Link and the CDC & Elk. It is essentially a CDC & Elk caddis pattern with an added spent polypropylene wing.
I’ve fished it this season and last, and it has worked extremely well. It requires only one additional step compared to the standard CDC & Elk tie, yet it produces a more buoyant and suggestive profile on the water.
The UV Resin Para Ant is a fly I have not yet fished. It seems like it will perform well on flat water. UV resin adds weight, so its application as a dry fly is somewhat limited, but it is a quick tie and has a very clean, attractive profile.
Both flies feel like useful additions to the box—one already proven, the other still to be tested.
