How to tie the Fulling Mill Orange Daddy

Hook- Hanak H 270 #10
Thread- Semperfli Nano Silk 18/0 Brick Beige
Body- Orange foam cylinder 5mm
Legs- Knotted Pheasant tail fibres 2 X 3 legs
Wings- Small hackle feathers
Main Hackle- Brown Hackle
Thorax Cover- Orange foam cylinder 5mm
A really popular terrestrial pattern for this time of year accounting for countless fish every year, mostly fished dry but equally effective sub surface. There are more realistic patterns out there but I would bet a half dozen of these bad boys that this will catch more fish.
It is a highly buoyant pattern and needs very little looking after whilst fishing. I always pre treat the flies with floatant before they go in the box as shown in the video. If you have not got these in your box, you my friend are missing out!

Hi Lindsay, was on Eyebrook last week and had lots of offers on a small daddy, landed half a dozen and to be honest I was disappointed in the quality of the trout, lucky if they were a pound in weight, as an aside we managed to get our drogue rope round the propeller and panic ensued, it suddenly dawned on us that there was NO oars in the boat. Is this the case with all the boats at Eyebrook? Fortunately I had a very sharp knife and we were able to clear the prop.and no damage was done and continued fishing ok. Can I suggest you have oars in the boat or be a bit more circumspect than we were in deploying the drogue. Tight lines and safe sailing. Regards Jimf

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Jim, All boats should have oars and rollocks from a H&S perspective I have had the use of oars on more than one occasion. As for wrapping the drogue around the prop......lol thats a right of passage everyone has done it!

Lindsay - do you have a link for the foam cutter. Like to purchase. Also the name. I’m in the USA. Thanks again for your informative tutorials.
