Via Zoom.

We will be tying the Daddy Longlegs.  It is useful for loch style fishing dapping or as a dry fly or as a wet fly attached to a gang of three.  It is equally useful on moving water or still in our region.

Materials

Hook: Size 10 dry fly hook

Body: Pheasant tail and a brown hackle to palmer around a gape and a half length, fine gold wire

Legs: knotted pheasant tail

Wings (optional): grizzle hackle points

Hackle (optional): same brown hackle

The legs are fiddly to tie so you may wish to tie six of them in advance. See https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+make+knotted+pheasant+tail+legs+for+flies&oq=how+to+make+knotted+pheasant+tail+legs+for+flies&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i61.838611394j0j0&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
