Description
The Daddy hog Cranefly is a dry fly pattern designed to imitate the adult cranefly, commonly known as the "daddy longlegs." Its origins trace back to British fly fishing traditions, where such patterns are essential during late summer and early autumn when craneflies are prevalent. The Daddyhog features a bulky deer hair wing and head, creating a distinctive wake on the water's surface, effectively attracting trout and other game fish
Pro Tip
Allow the fly to swing at the end of the drift, creating a natural drag. Some anglers find that this is when the presentation starts to entice fish, as the fly's movement resembles a struggling insect
