Daddy Longlegs = Crane Fly

every fly fisherman in the Uk knows a daddy is a crane fly imitation...a great fly for trout on autumn evenings

the 'spiders' people are referring to is probably this

A daddy long-legs is the spidery thingy. Anything else is a fake! Some real weirdos on here....

No it isn't. Thats a Jimmy Spinner. People incorrectly calling it that have simply wrongly taken the name for something else and applied it to the crane fly.

When enough people are wrong it must become right
