The Gold Headed Daddy Long Legs is best used in still waters and slow-moving rivers, particularly during late summer and autumn when crane flies are abundant. To maximise effectiveness, use a floating line with a long leader to allow the fly to drift naturally. Cast near the bank or over weed beds where crane flies are likely to fall into the water.
For presentation, let the fly sit on the surface briefly before giving it a gentle twitch to mimic a struggling insect. Use a slow, erratic retrieve with pauses to imitate the natural movement of a daddy long legs. This can trigger aggressive strikes from trout.
