The CDC Daddy Long Legs is a versatile, light, mobile crane-fly dry pattern. CDC gives the wing and body a soft footprint and natural movement, while the long legs create the familiar terrestrial outline. It is equally at home on rivers and stillwaters.
Fish it close to banks and along wind lanes, allowing it to sit or drift naturally. Dry the CDC with an amadou patch or desiccant powder to preserve its natural buoyancy and movement. A natural-looking fish catcher that deserves a place in any working dry-fly box.
