The Daddyhog delivers a strong surface wake and consistently triggers fish. I’ve used it in still lakes and it performs well even on light floats. The deer hair is durable and the action is natural.

Great for targeting surface feeders. The splashy rise is noticeable and fish respond well. A bit bulky, but worth it for the take rate.

This fly is a staple in my fly box. The wake it creates is impressive and I’ve caught several trout on it during early morning hours.
