The Daddy Snatcher.

[brownsville]

After the riot of colour on here recently, I thought I'd go the natural route this morning.

With the guidance of Davie McPhail.....

[savage take]

looks the part, tied a couple myself. not tried them yet.

WTFs a "daddy snatcher" Mike.... its just a daddy....... Davies a wonderfull tyer but he surely must have had a bad night on the bevvy when he dreamt that idea up. Nice fly though mate....

[dabhoy]

Nice flee Mike
I kind of have to agree with Jimmy ao wouldnt bother with palmering down the hook as I think it would be just as effective.
I have been noticing one thing though with your tie you do like a bit of leg

[brownsville]

WTF do I know? Wanted to try a detached body, but haven't got any ethafoam.

I suspect it would be fished drowning, sub-surface, grub hook and all, but Davie would have to have the last word on that.

Mmmmmmmmm Legs.....

I can see the thinking behind it Mike...,a swamped,drowned or "wet daddy"....gink it up,let it sit on top for awhile then retrieve it back sub surface,best of both worlds.I dont understand why it should be categorised under the snatcher family though.
And dinny get me started on gold head daddies......WTF are they all about....

I dont doubt it for a minute....., lots of things catch fish for a whole host of different reasons that we will never fully understand.I just find it mildy annoying when an illogical idea such as goldheading a surface fly,pays off.
The fish should be smarter than that.....

Don't be stupid if they've only been in the water for a few hours and have been fed on pellets they must an iq slightly higher than most fast food eating americans

Davies pattern does look alot more like a snatcher than the one on show at the mo..
what do you categorise as a snatcher mate for what reasons?
and dont say a snatcher
