The Flash Daddy is a variation of a traditional daddy long legs pattern. The addition of a bit of gold sparkle has doubled its catch rate for me. The extended micro chenille body can be soaked in floatant to make this fly almost unsinkable or, if left untreated, will sit the body of the fly down into the surface film.
Can be fished singly as a true dry fly or on a washing line set up or even pulled on a floating line. Great in a big wave.
