most effective?
The Foam Body Red Daddy Long Legs 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 these insects. During warm, breezy days, when crane flies are most active, this fly excels in attracting trout. It performs best in still waters and slow-moving rivers, especially when the water surface is slightly ruffled by the wind. Overcast days with intermittent sunshine can also enhance its effectiveness, as trout are more likely to feed near the surface.
