"While this pattern may seem new to everyone else, the CDC Stone has been kicking around in my box for about ten years.
The success of the Tungsten CDC Pheasant Tail prompted me to start playing with CDC on nymph patterns more and more, and the CDC Stone came about quickly once I figured out how well CDC moves underwater.
Tied with a bit of lead on the shank and a thick tungsten bead, the CDC Stone is a great dropper fly under a dry or as a point fly in a two or three fly rig."
