Small is beautiful, tied these up from your original film. Rainbows, wild browns on the river....grayling and chub....fish just love this fly. It's a great search pattern on the river when it seems quiet. Thanks for all the work you put into making these films.
Hi Alec Met you last year on Thrunton, the day we both got big browns. Talked to you in the car park for a while. I’m back down on holiday again and wondered if you were out and about for a session this week. Cheers Peter
Thanks Sean, yes that evening the orange one was best but sometimes the more natural colours work best, as I said in the video, it pays to swap them about until you find which one they want on that day 👍🎣🐟
Hi Alec Loved the video, I have never tried daddies of that size before, So I better have some of them from you. Have dropped you a message about buying some from you. Cheers Alec. Bob.👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣
Hi Alex, enjoying watching your videos and improving my knowledge base. Returning to fly fishing after a long absence. Do you mind me asking what your leader/tippet set would be for dry fly fishing please? Tapered/ straight through? Mono/Fluor etc? So much conflicting advice on the Internet. Just want a simple Dry Fly set up. Thanks again.

Nice one Bob 👍🎣🐟🐟
Great video Alec, I love fishing Daddies, these small ones look nice, seems like you had most success with the orange one?
Thanks Sean, yes that evening the orange one was best but sometimes the more natural colours work best, as I said in the video, it pays to swap them about until you find which one they want on that day 👍🎣🐟

Anthony I normally use 6lb soft plus fluorocarbon strait through, you will get better turn over using a tapered leader though. 👍🎣🐟
@@alecharveyfishingandflytying Thank you Alex.
Great video. Really useful. Where did you get the size 14 daddies? Most I've seen are on larger hooks. Size 14 looks much better.
Cheers Archie, I tie them myself, I have a video on my channel showing how to tie them 👍🎣🐟
Hi Alec nice video again,on the black one do you use black leg's and black hackle?
Cheers Dennis, yes both are black 👍🎣🐟🐟
Hi Alec another question on the mini daddies,where do you get your tan foam
I get the blocks of foam from the Eyebrook tackle shop and cut my own cylinders Dennis 👍🎣🐟
