Pearly Daddy Dry Fly

Catalogue No: 4292
Pearly Daddy
The Pearly Daddy is one of our most popular deadly fishing patterns, used equally throughout the season. The gold head of the Pearly Daddy helps it to sink deeper into the water column, where larger trout tend to swim, providing a highly effective presentation for anglers targeting these predatory fish. To maximize its effectiveness, the Pearly Daddy should be fished with twitches, which cause the back legs to pulsate and grab the attention of nearby trout. The legs of this fly are tied with small knots halfway down, mimicking the movement of a lifelike crane fly, making the Pearly Daddy a highly effective and realistic option for anglers. It's a great choice for anglers fishing in clear and bright conditions, as the gold head and lifelike representation of a crane fly or daddy long-legs provides a highly visible and attractive presentation in the water. Whether fishing in rivers, streams, or still waters, the Pearly Daddy is a versatile and productive pattern that is sure to bring success to anglers targeting a variety of fish species.

I've just started fly fishing, I've watched lots of the videos on the Totally awesome fishing show. The pearly daddy by Sid Knight is highly recommended by Graham, I used it and have caught 3 lovely fish using it. ??

Request a fly, size or option

We work closely with our fly tyers and can tie most patterns to order: a different hook size, barbless instead of barbed, a tungsten bead instead of a gold head; just ask.

Sending a request is free and you are not committing to buy. Depending on where we are in our tying cycle it can take a month or two for a pattern to arrive, and we may not be able to tie every request (fair usage applies); but if we can, we will.

Sign in first and we'll pre-fill your email and keep the request with your account.
