Firetiger 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2010 Terje, that is a very cool fly. Norwegian trout surely love them. Czech ones do, especially in the late summer/early autumn. I tie mine crane flies/daddy long legs in a very similar way to you, just lazy as I am I omit the hackle and darkish spots on the chenille body. Thus mine do not float as high as yours and I fish them sort of inside the film, perhaps slightly wet. The trout seem to like them this way though. This is a bunch I tied for a swap about a year ago Cheers! J. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Firetiger 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2010 Glad to hear that Jan! The Daddy is a cool little fly, one that looks well both in the eyes of fisherman and trout alike. I truly enjoy both tying and fishing them. Speaking of swaps - have the Bloodworms made it to you? Big E has just received a package I posted together with the one for you, and he now lives in Washington state, so I would expect them any day now. J.
