Nice Tie James but don't Daddies float? I tie mine with a Kapok Body ( out of an old Life jacket) some of the early ones had cork bodies, but nicely tied :z16 Derek Roxborough

you've never fished a sunken daddy ? I know it feels wrong but it really works !
i will do some floaters also - as i have some foam ( designed for booby eyes) that will do nicely

Nope, if I wanted fast sinking flies I would lead up the Body, I use a leggy Octopus , this, I suspect looks like a leggy sinking insect, it works well on some lochs here, but on others not, but it's always horses for courses, cheers Derek Roxborough

First time I saw a bead headed Daddy I laughed. When I saw how effective they were, I then cried lol

I have caught Seatrout on wet daddies , but we don't have any Bow fishing near here its all wild Browns, nd I don' t like beads , but as I said nice tying, just not for me :X2 Derek Roxborough
