Davie ....your method of fly tying is like meditation the detail you put in tying those flies is mind-blowing, can't wait in the evenings after work to watch you create your artwork.
Just love the attention to the taper on your flies as well as your consistency. Thank you as always Davie.
Thanks. Love when you break it down for new Tyers. Even us old folks need to revisit basics and see how different tyers approach the steps.
Very nice! I have just the place for it. I started tying with wire instead of thread, I think on Woolly Buggers. I needed just a bit of weight. Later on I saw you tying PTN's with wire and so I tried some. They are weighted just enough that they sink perfectly. Thanks for the idea Davie!
Thank you Davie... that was fun... =]

👍! Many thanks Davie.
I just got some dohiku nymph hooks in size 20. I really don't tie flies that small but one of my friends told me to use them.Thanks to you, I now know what to tie on!
Brilliant 👍 Many thanks for this video, really helpful. Cheers Gra.
I met an old friend y/day - in fact my gaffer at my job before my retirement - he a keen & skilled angler, among everything else at that at fly fishing. I told him about Davie McPhail, the most sparkling star on my fly-tying heaven - both as a fly tier and a human. We need him these days.../Hakan Sweden
Hi Davie, Probably more than 10yrs since i first started following your channel! still love having a beer and watching your videos. what i have learned from you over the years has been invaluable not only patterns but mostly the techniques step by step and the information on materials and suppliers.. think i spent a small fortune with Glasgow angling but the feckers still wont give me a decent discount lol!! anyway Thank you for sharing your wisdom over the years im now passing on the skills of fly tying to my son and daughter!! 7 and 10! and they love either tying or being on the river!! cheers Dave!!
Hi Aiden,
It's great to hear that you enjoy the videos and that you family are all enjoying it with you as well...I know when I used to work in the shop it was very easy to spend a pound to two, they used to call me discount Davie when I was there as I was always trying to get the best price for the customers, Gary loved me🤣..
All the very best Davie
Yet another simple but beautiful pattern,.Love your technique for tying in the thorax cover , I think it gives the nymph a more realistic profile. I've been tying my that way since I first saw you do it that way. Superb 👍👍
Cracking fly Davie. Very well tied and explained. Thank you for sharing.
What a stunning wee fly Davie 👌
Wooww
Nice job some day I will try fly fishing 🎣
Hi Davie, I love the simplicity of these nymph patterns and am surprised at how popular they are with our NZ trout! You have just shown me a colour that I have never tied before in a pheasant tail, yet I have used olive coloured nymphs in all my fishing. You just keep on surprising me again and again. Cheers mate.

Beautiful fly Davie I'll tie some for my next outing. Stay well, Big Davie
I find the tiny nymphs, buzzers, d bachs work for me on hot difficult days. Especially around weedbeds
You make it look so easy. Thank you.

Dave I have question not so much related to this video is there a trick to getting material pulled back from the eye do you pull in a certain direction and how do you keep your fingers from getting caught on the hook piont
Hi Richard,
I have to be honest I would have to watch myself just to see what I am doing as I just get used to to tying and not getting jagged by the hook though I am sure I don't take my fingers back too far and up and away from the point of the hook..When I first started though I did mask the hook in the jaws until I got used to tying..
All the very best Davie
Davie, what are those fly boxes in your introduction?
Hi Manda,

@@DavieMcPhail Thank you!
Здравствуйте а почему у вас крючки без жагры?
My question is what kind of wire do you specify I like tying with wire but it always breaks when I place it in a bobbin
Hi Stan,
I use an extra small wire that I bought many years ago from Veniards here in the UK but unfortunately they no longer stock it though the UTC extra smallI wire is the same thickness, I also like many of their colours as well..I like to use a Tiemco heavy duty ceramic bobbin holder when using the wire but you have to adjust the bobbin holder so that the wire runs smoothly from the spool because if it sticks it will break the wire very easily..
All the very best Davie
@@DavieMcPhail thank you Dave I have been watching you tie for many years. I appreciate the way you share your knowledge. I especially like the way you mount wet fly wings. You have a technique all your own. Thanks for all you do for our sport. All the best Stan
