Best fished in Autumn (August/September) using a floating line and either left static or twitched over the surface. Can be even deadlier when large waves are on the water and the fly being "ripped" through the waves. Takes are fast and furious. The daddy has at times been known to fish well in early June through to August
This version of the Daddy has its head made from spun deer hair and clipped, when stripped through the water the fly causes lots of disturbance , best fished in Autumn pulled quickly on a floating line. Takes are fast and furious
