This fly is an absolute fish taker. I've just won a competition at Lake of Mentieth with this fly. Two of these daddies fished dry for a minute of two, and if that didn't result in a take, then a slow retrieve just under the surface. Practice day bought me and my boat partner 13 fish using this fly. Match day itself caught me 9 fish. Such a versatile and robust fly that takes minutes to tie. You really must give them a swim!

After success with the nothing fly I tied a few of these in each colour and it has proved to be another very productive fly, thanks again.

Cheers Tony , the mini daddy catches fish all year found ans is deadly as a point fly on the washing line method and two small nymphs on the droppers.👍🎣🐟

Thick snow here so I won't be fishing but will go and tie up a heap of these for myself and friends. I'm certain I'll get fish with them as I did with the nothing fly and the top hat. Dark brown thread on the top hat makes a difference on some days.

Cheers Alec, I’ve seen a few small daddies crawling out of the grass on the reservoir I fish, the fish have been going mental on the mayfly but that will be finishing soon , so I’ll definitely give this a go as the fish will probably be high in the water looking for their next meal, thanks for another great video,regards Jimf
