Default Daddy Long Legs Flies

Anyone know of a fly called a Roger Rabbit? I have been given one from a guy and I have never seen anything like it. Looks like a cross between a daddy and a wet fly.

I have had great success with Daddys this weekend, if anyone is interested I have just bought loads on offer link below.

Selling a detahced body fly like that for 32p would make me seriously suspiciours about the quality of the hooks on that one mate. Probably get a much better quality fly if you paid a bit more and got it from one of the fine tiers from here.

Just my opinion though

Someone gave me a lure this weekend called a Dawson's F--k Up. I will guarantee it's not well known name just the name the tier gave it. Perhaps your Roger Rabbit is the same? Usually any fly with rabbit in the name means that rabbit fur has been used in its construction.

I've had plenty of flies from Troutflies and have had no problems with their quality
