The Foam Body Tan Daddy Long Legs is best used during late summer and early autumn when crane flies are abundant. To maximise effectiveness, present the fly with a floating line and a long leader to ensure a delicate landing.

most effective?
The Foam Body Tan Daddy Long Legs is most effective during late summer to early autumn, typically 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. During these months, trout are actively feeding on surface insects, and the Daddy Long Legs fly can be particularly enticing.
Focus on overcast days with a slight breeze, as these conditions encourage crane flies to be more active and visible to trout. Fish this fly in slow-moving waters or along the edges of lakes and rivers where trout are likely to be hunting for surface prey.

The foam body of the fly ensures buoyancy, mimicking the natural drift of the insect, while the long legs create a realistic silhouette and movement, enticing fish to strike. This stage is crucial as fish take advantage of the plentiful food source, making it an essential pattern for anglers.
