CDC Daddy Long Legs Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The CDC Daddy Long Legs is best used in stillwater and slow-moving rivers, particularly during late summer and autumn when crane flies are abundant. To maximise effectiveness, present the fly with a floating line and a long leader to ensure a delicate landing. Use a dead-drift technique to mimic a natural insect caught in the surface film. Alternatively, employ a slow, erratic retrieve to imitate a struggling insect, which can trigger aggressive strikes from trout. For added realism, occasionally twitch the rod tip to create subtle movement, enticing wary fish.

Key Seasons - when is this

Daddy Long Leg Trout Fly

most effective?
The CDC Daddy Long Legs is most effective during late spring to early autumn, particularly from May to September. This period coincides with the natural hatch of crane flies, making it an ideal time to mimic these insects. The fly excels in warm, overcast conditions when trout are actively feeding on the surface. During late summer, when terrestrial insects are abundant, the CDC Daddy Long Legs can be particularly enticing. Use it in slow-moving waters or stillwaters where trout are likely to be searching for food near the surface.

How does the Turrall CDC Daddy Long Legs Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The CDC Daddy Long Legs fly imitates the adult stage of the crane fly, a common terrestrial insect often found near water bodies. During late summer and early autumn, these insects are abundant, and many fall into the water, becoming an easy target for trout. The fly's long, delicate legs and buoyant CDC feathers mimic the natural appearance and movement of a struggling crane fly on the water's surface. Fish target this stage because it represents a high-protein meal that is readily available and easy to catch, making it an irresistible option for feeding trout.
