The Flexi Floss Bead Head Red Daddy Long Legs is best used in stillwaters and slow-moving rivers. To maximise effectiveness, employ a floating line with a long leader to allow the fly to drift naturally. Use a slow figure-of-eight retrieve to mimic the movement of a struggling insect on the water's surface. This fly is particularly effective during warm months when crane flies are abundant.
For presentation, cast near weed beds or under overhanging trees where trout are likely to be lurking. Allow the fly to sit momentarily before starting the retrieve, as this can entice curious trout to strike.
