FLIES THAT CATCH FISH Tying The Foam Daddy (Daddy Longlegs)

An awesome imitation of the daddy longlegs fly, easy to tie and deadly for trout!
Use this fly as a dry on a floating line or as a drowned fly on a sink tip line.

Superb, I have been promoting this fly and many variants since i took over Ledyatt. The amount of fish taken by these is astounding. Top Class demonstration.

Simple but deadly, ultimate stealthy reservoir pattern✌

Lovely tye..thanks for sharing.

[@davidwillacy4796]

My type of fly tying, simple, neat but it looks so so effective. Nice one bud, keep them coming. Cheers

Nice one Steve, tying now. Big Davie

[@trevorluft8161]

What size foam cylinder did you use Steve please?

[@blackflycreations]

Excellent tie👍

[@grahamlonergan8964]

Very nice

[@mikel3379]

What is the size of the foam? Looks like it's one of the more straightforward daddies.

Hi Steve
Is there a reason for using such a heavy hook?
Cheers

[@stevecullenflyfishingflyty7729]

Yes pal, beds in and a thinner hook may straighten, I dish these subsurface too

[@chriswiggins5202]

What size foam do you use?

[@stevecullenflyfishingflyty7729]

3mn bud

[@paul50pb]

What thickness is the foam you are using

[@kennethsanders963]

This is NOT what your illustration shows sir. To me you are tying two totally different flies. On your you tube page you show a GREY body 2mm foam. The one you illustrate is a tan cylinder foam , which is it......

[@minimal_enthusiasm5971]

Either would work equally well, surely 🙄

[@789stv]

Ha , theres always one insnt there Steve. Is it Ken or Kenneth 2mm or 3mm iether one works just as well. Nice simple pattern cheers for sharing.
