CDL Hackle

[pugdom]

Has anyone used DCL hackle as a normal dry fly hackle? Especially for larger parachutes.

Do you mean Coq De Leon?
I'm not clear on your acronym.

I wouldn't use it for hackle. With the quality of today's saddle hackle it wouldn't pay you. I limit my use of CDL (Coq De Leon) for tailing material for dry's and Perdigons. Lastly, CDL is in such short supply that you most likely aren't finding any locally. I've stopped at 6 different fly shops within the last few weeks and NONE of them had medium pardo CDL.
