With 40 years in fly fishing and fly tying, I have been most fortunate in being able to ‘learn on the job’ and develop many good and productive fishing flies.The videos which I record at home are edited by me and I very much hope you enjoy them. If you do, then I would encourage you to subscribe and you will be kept up to date as and when each new video is posted. Needless to say, all this takes time and quite a bit of high tech equipment to produce to the high standards which I aim to achieve which leads me nicely onto introducing my first official sponsor, Fulling Mill Ltd. Fulling Mill are based in the UK and are one of the leading names when it comes to producing world class fishing flies on a commercial scale. With access to their excellent range of tying materials as well as their much appreciated sponsorship, I look forward to doing more of what I do best and to continuing my work in fly tying and as well Fly Fishing on my local waters.

😁 Thanks..
👍👍👍
Krásná řeka...
4 pm here Davie thank you for inviting me along 😊
Great fun !
I'm posting from the States; and in unsettled times like these, a video like this one is doubly appreciated. Thanks, Davie! 👍
The brown you caught around the 30 minute period of the video was exceptionally beautiful! Well done Sir!!!
Just curious as to why you don't mend upstream on the dries?
Hi Davie. It would be a nice video to mix a fishing video and fly tying session together. You could edit the fishing down to say, 10 minutes and then have a video showing the tying of a fly (the fly) that you were using on the river. Just a thought. Obviously we all love the tying and fishing vids but this would introduce a bit of a new format. Anyway, enjoy your Monday afternoon!! Andy
Great to see you back out on the water!
Excellent video, could you tel me which rod and reel are you actually using? Many thanks and kind regards.
Hi Ricardo, I was using a Cadence 9ft 4wt with their reel and line so I will attach a link to it for you to see...I'm glad you enjoyed the video..

Always fun to come along for a trip. Beautiful scenery and serenity ❤❤ Thank you for sharing your talents 👍 Have a wonderful day
Great to see you tying a fantastic Tasmanian fly. I have had success here in Tassie with a yellow seals fur body and olive winged yeti. Thanks for the video Davie.
Enjoy that😊
Thank you Davie for very good fly and recipe!
Another great looking pattern. Great Demo too always. 👍
Hi davie, i was wondering where you source your arctic fox seeing as the hairs you used in the video were extremely similar to polar bear?
Always take time out on my day off to rewatch your demonstrations Davie, I would like to ask as to where you get your white eared pheasant hackles from? Many thanks Mike 👍
Hi dongil123, I was lucky to get a hold of a full skin from a friend when I was working for a fly tying company a few years ago but the last one I bought off Ebay for £140 was a great price..I have attached a link to some pheasants that are on there at the moment, just keep checking as they do come up from time to time.www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=taxidermy+birds+pheasant&_sacat=0&_odkw=taxidermy+birds+white+eared+pheasant&_osacat=0 All the very best Davie
Works #dappania feeders too ☘️🎣🐋💚 had forgotten
Hi Davie, This fly is such a great colour combination and expertly tied. Best regards, Wayne 😀👍
I am watching this about 5 months after you posted it. How has the sparkle pupa done when fishing it this season? It’s fascinating to see how you have adapted the fly to your style. Much respect. It looks great. I’m about to tie a batch of emergent and deep sparkle pupa flies for a local Healing Waters chapter, so I am watching every video I can find that demonstrates how to tie it and next will go back to his book. I learned to tie it in a class with Gary in the 1990s, but I can’t haven’t tied it in about 20 years. He said it would it work, but I secretly wondered until I fished it on the West Branch of the Penobscot River in Maine. The landlocked salmon in pools and slow eddies loved it. If I may, I suggest you get some Antron yarn in orange (Charlie Craven has it if your vendor doesn’t carry it). In line with Gary’s theory of color attraction, orange is a powerful attractor in late day sun or just before sunset.. I have yet to find an orange caddis, but the color really works on a clear day. As a result, I tried orange on other flies in other situations, and it worked for striped bass, bluefish, trout and freshwater bass. Other flyfishers might give a strange look when they see your orange fly, but you can respond with a grin when you are catching fish. Be well.
Wonderful, Davie. That’s a cracker. So simple, yet turns out looking killer. As usual. Best tyer in the Tube. Learnt everything from you, that would have taken decades in the lessons of previous times. Just epic.
Very nice pattern Davie 🐟🎣
Parabéns pale o seu trabalho muito show show 👏👏👏👍👍👍
Have you tried to tie a blue damsel special
Hi @user-qi7vw5xc3z, I have attached a link to a blue damsel pattern I have on CZcams for you to see which I hope is close to the pattern you are looking for... All the very best Davie czcams.com/video/u-2XkFsnHrk/video.html
Hi Davie, How did you manage to get these black burned eyes? I trayed to make them Up burning the rubber legs, but I could not. Good job, keep Up.
👍🏻👍🏻
Very Cool Davie!
Some lovely troot, what was the nymph you caught the big trout on? And the tying.
That's a lovely clean looking fish. Well done.
Nice idea. I'm going to try this in the next few days on a Colorado, USA front range river.
Tks davie looks like a great fly 😊
Mate were have all your monthly draw videos gone. They're my asmr sleep videos
"How should I use it? Can it be used as a dropper like a traditional buzzer fly?"
Thanks so much Davie for listing the materials. I now what to buy. Great help 😊
Nice tie Davie. I might demonstrate this to the Tassie Fly Tyers in a couple of weeks 😊
Is this a better day fly or at night
Hi Davie, Lyndon from Tasmania, thank you you have pur up two recent videos just as I'm bedding down for my 5th spinal operation. Worked our you are a couple of months older than me as you have mentioned in your fishing videos. They have also been a blessing as I am struggling getting around as much. Take care and I'll watch for more content.
Going to tie these up for smallmouth!
👌
Hats off to you - great tying.
This is one of those flies that’s gonna look deadly when it’s wet! Great video as always, Davie!
Brilliant as always Davie! Could you whip up a wee micro Salmon double for low water?? Cheers. 🎣
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks Davie, ill certainly give this a go. Stay well, Big Davie
