The Hot Butt Barbless Daddy Size 12 is a crane-fly dry pattern with a bright rear trigger and a strong Ahrex barbless hook. It represents daddy long legs and other large terrestrials blown onto rivers and stillwaters, where takes can be sudden and confident.
Fish it close to banks, under overhanging vegetation or along wind lanes. Begin with a natural drift and add a small twitch only when useful. The hot butt improves visibility and attraction, while the long-legged outline remains the key food signal.
