I know the standered Kenny answer, ” Good pair of waders don’t leak”.
Bill, I am sorry about taking so much time to get back to you. Just returned from Cancun for my daughters birthday bash. CDL is pretty much wrapped as partridge, perhaps fewer wraps. As luck would have it Tim Flaglar, Midcurrent, ties, The Carey Special, using CDL on todays post. Go to that sight and see how easy CDL is to work with.

A lot! But then none of them are long!
I tie and fish a lot of soft hackles. I keep the body pretty simple, normally just a thread body. Recently I have moved away from partridge and have gone to CDC (Coq De Conard) and CDL (Coq De Leon). I first thought these materials would matte together. But it is just the opposite both demonstrate a lot of leggy movement. Also, the CDL is pretty darn tuff stuff and I find the barring attractive.
