Frenchcreek Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 I'm looking for a pattern or two for the crane fly. Heading south to Colorado and New Mexico this summer and apparently this is one of the patterns to tie for the trip. Any suggestions welcomed. Quote
SilverDoctor Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Thanks Murray, but I hate knotting legs. and I'm too cheap to buy em. There is another one Called the Mudder Daddy, I'll fish one out of my tying box and post it later. Quote
Frenchcreek Posted March 7, 2017 Author Posted March 7, 2017 Got this one from Iron Bow shop, neat way to do legs, have not yet tried it but locks easy http://dronsworld.blogspot.ca/2012/02/daddy-long-legs.html Pete Quote
SilverDoctor Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 SD have you ever tried Davie mcphails method? Yes, but I find using tweezers easier. Quote
Frenchcreek Posted March 8, 2017 Author Posted March 8, 2017 Lornce, when I started this post, I thought I would send you a P/M asking for pattern information. Then I thought that others would benefit from your knowledge and skill. And sure enough, it's happening. Thanks for your wonderful patterns and continued contributions. Pete 3 Quote
RossMurphy Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Lornce, that is a great looking fly. Wow, "great" is an understatement. It looks like a natural glued to a hook. 1 Quote
