- Fishing Techniques.
The Flexi Floss Bead Head Black Daddy Long Legs is best used in stillwaters and reservoirs, 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 margins or over weed beds where trout are likely to be feeding. Employ a slow, steady retrieve with occasional twitches to mimic the erratic movement of a struggling insect. Alternatively, use a figure-of-eight retrieve to maintain a consistent motion. Adjust the depth by varying the leader length or adding a small split shot if needed.
