Easy Daddy
The time of Daddy Long Leggs (Tipula sp. for those of Latin inclination) is getting near. For the time it comes I propose the following simple and easy imitation made almost entirely of Pheasant tail.

Nice fly, nice idea to simply use pheasant tail, I often use it as a rib, not robust but nice effect. Looking forward to following your blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words of support :-)
ReplyDeleteThe Pheasant tail is one of my favorite tying materials - very versatile, it can be used for tailings, bodies and legs plus it has lovely motley color
