If you are seeking highly dense and super soft and fluffy CDC (Cul de Canard), this product may not meet your requirements. CDC sourced from wild ducks is characterized by uniformity, with barbs of equal density, and it lacks the pronounced fluffiness. This distinction arises from the natural behavior of wild ducks, which frequently preen and maintain their feathers due to their constant exposure to water. In contrast, the very dense and fluffy CDC is typically associated with domestic ducks raised on farms, often without access to water or regular swimming activities.

Troutline Selected CDC from Wild European Mallard is our best selection of CDC that we offer to our passionate tiers who are looking for high quality feathers from wild ducks.

  • short feathers, probably the shortest from Duck world but we select the largest ones!
  • superb barbs, delicate in structure and well build without being fragile
  • the stem is the elastic one and the thinnest you can find in CDC world
  • perfect coloured grey with tint of white that suits for dun flies
  • it is perfect for wing and collar but for flies down from size #12
  • minimum 50-60 feathers in all sizes

Wild Mallard CDC and their particularities:

Is well known that you can find no more than 10 or 15 mature CDC feathers for each bird. Also is well known that these feathers are more delicate and shorter compared with feathers from farm ducks. But the quality of these feathers are absolute fantastic.

The length of CDC feathers are not big, the range is between 2cm and 3,5cm! The stems are elastic and thin, the barbs are beautiful, soft and delicate in colors from dark tan to dark grey and light dun with or without spots on them.
We receive the skins from hunters, we pluck then , check if they have blood or not, we re-select carefully by hand and we pack them. One bag contain beautiful feathers, means feathers from 5 wild ducks!

It is a discontinued product, rare and fast selling!
