You’re an international treasure, Davie! I discovered your videos years ago, and my tying skills increase immensely. Thanks So Much!
As always, the precision and detail that you incorporate into your tying is inspiring and a joy to watch. Thank you
I've learned something again, never having would a hackle back through itself! Thank you Davie!
Fantastic fly Davie. A great video as usual and well explained. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice cdc caddis fly mate. That one sure be a killer for those big ole browns and rainbows. Thanks for sharing another great tying video. Have a great day. Best Regards, Ken
That’s a neat looking fly Davie. Little bit beyond me but I’ll give it a go! Thanks for another great tie vid.....
Another great pattern Davie, look great. Hope you and the family are keeping well.
Thank you very much, Davie... You are a great Master.
Constantly learning from ur vids. As a new fly tier, that is a great help. Thx Davie.
Beautiful little fly.
Great fly
These are wonderful flies but they are hard for me to see, so, I added a little florescent polypropylene post and wrapped the front hackle around the back to the front. They are not as natural looking but I could not see them without the post. They worked like magic, as it got dark; mine only lasted for about three fish per fly. Three flies and eight trout is enough proof to make more of this pattern. I call them McPhail’s Cinnamon tea CDC. Mine turned out looking more cinnamon colored. I steamed two back to life but one was a goner.
"Chocolate Drop"... What a sweet name on a fly, just taste it! 😀
A wee masterpiece Davie
Wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
Lovely wounderful flie 😍😍😊😊👍👍
It's not a good pattern, it's a great one! A great idea to make an underwing from deer. I will try it (in gray shades). Actually I use it for years but without an underwing.
thanks again Davie
Hi Davie, another wonderful pattern. Thank you for sharing. One bit I didn’t quite get, it looked like you showed a Hebert Miner Cock Neck cape but the actual feather looked uniform like a saddle hackle. Could you clarify which it was that you used? A neck hackle or a saddle hackle. Many thanks, Paul.
Hi Paul,
I used a Herbert Minor Dry Fly Neck like the one in the link I have attached for you to see, the hackles are very long and thin just like a fine saddle feather like you said.. I am glad you liked the fly as well..
All the very best Davie..

Davie McPhail Lovely stuff Davie. Thank you for taking time to reply and also for your efforts in producing the video.
I wish you tight lines and wet nets. Paul
👏👏👏
Thanks !
Супер!!! Devie
I did enjoy it, Davie... thank you.
Been meaning to ask for a while now... Have you tried re-sharpening tying scissors? How did it go?
Asking because I ran into a demonstration of sharpening scissors (general types).
Mike
Hi Mike, I did and now I have sharp scissors so I can't thank you enough for sending me the link as I've tried many ways and they never worked so I owe you one..
All the very best Davie..
@@DavieMcPhail Well, I guess I forgot that I had sent the link already. I'm really happy it worked. Now, if I tie enough... use my scissors enough... It'll work for me too.
Oh, and you don't owe me one near as I can tell. Looks more to me like I'm getting evener with you... taking and giving.
Mike
@@krallmi48 can I have the link

Hi Davie, could you do a tutorial on how you would attach a dropper ring to the hook to fish New Zealand style like the Fulling Mill SR Klinkhammer Duo?
Hi Nick,
I've never tyed a Fulling Mill SR Klinkhamer fly before as all I do is tye the leader to the bend of the hook rather than tye on a ring as this has always worked for me..If I was going to tye on a ring I would use a fine braid which would make it easy to tye in rather than a nylon as it is much stronger and finer..I'll keep it in mind the next time I'm tying klinkhamers as I know it would be worth filming..
All the very best Davie
Davie McPhail great, thanks for the reply!
👍
this one too!! ;))
Hi Davie, I would like to ty this Fly, however, I only have Dark Brown and Fiery Brown Dye. which one should I use. many thanks George
Hi George,
I would use either but I would also mix these dyes as I would use fiery brown with a tiny bit of brown to darken it which will give you a lovely colour..
ATB Davie..
Do you have any fishing videos to share with us.
Hi deee jaaay,
I would normally use my GoPro to film outside when fishing but I need to replace it as it's not working too well due it's age, I plan to buy another for next season..
All the very best Davie..
Класс!!!👍
How did u do the chocolate drop seals fur
Hi Robert,
It was just a dark brown seals fur in the video though a touch of claret seals fur mixed in can be very good which I know works really well.Another good blend is to mix in a little fiery brown, but also mix the front hackle with the same colours to go with the body..
All the very best Davie
