Daddy longlegs flies

  • Use a floating fly line and tapered leader 
  • Cast out and let the flies sit on the surface for 10–15 seconds 
  • Try flicking your rod tip up to make the fly duck under the surface 
  • If a trout swirls but doesn't take, lift your rod tip high to pull the fly underwater 
  • Fish in wooded sections of rivers on windy days 
  • Use a Popper Hopper or Booby Hopper on the top dropper 
  • Use two flies, with the largest on the point  

When to use Daddy long legs flies 

  • When crane flies are abundant in late summer and autumn
  • When few fish are rising and little hatching
  • On windy days when fish are opportunistic feeders

Matching the fly to the hatch 

  • Match the size and colour of the fly to the crane flies you see
  • Use a bead head daddy with a slow retrieve
