Muddled Daddy Longlegs

The combination of a muddler head and mobile legs on this pattern make it very attractive to trout when pulled through the waves as a wake fly.
It is mostly fished dry (highly effective for lake evening hatch) but equally effective sub surface and produces violent attacks.
A pattern that can also be very effective in rivers for wild trout and works wonders when dragged in the evening for sea trout.
