most effective?
The Detached Green Daddy Long Legs Trout Fishing Fly is most effective during late summer to early autumn, particularly from August to October. This period coincides with the natural hatch of crane flies, making it an ideal time to mimic their presence on the water. The fly excels in conditions where there is a gentle breeze, causing natural insects to fall onto the water's surface, enticing trout to feed. Overcast days with a slight ripple on the water enhance its effectiveness, as trout are more likely to rise. Use this fly in still waters and slow-moving rivers for the best results.
