If you tye and fish these nymphs for both rivers and lochs you will not go far wrong as I have caught more fish on these flies than I could count..
Hooks, Fulling Mill Competition Heavyweight and Super Grub size 12
Thread/Wire, Pearly Madeira and UTC Extra Small Copper Wire
Bodies, Natural and dyed Black Pheasant Tail and Natural Grey rabbit mixed with UV Lite-Brite - Sport
Davie when this video first came out I tied them all. I used the first one with copper and natural pheasant. I took six fish very quickly, he had none, but I finally put him out of his misery and gave him a couple. Still one of the best nymphs in my box.
Davie, you have helped me so much get into tying flies, i bet there are many, many others as well. Thank you for such great videos!
Amazing work ,, your fly library is vast and precise
You are a genuine genius. Thank you for sharing! I love these lean & sparse flies.
Amazingly simple looking. Masterfully built.
Davie, you keep outdoing yourself. Please keep doing these videos. I appreciate them very much,.
Lovely nymphs Davie. Nicely tied and well explained. Many thanks for the commentary.
Hi Davie. I have tied flies for 30 years and since watching your brilliant videos I have learnt so much. You make it look so easy and the flies are fabulous. Looking forward to more videos from you . Many thanks
Simplicity at it’s best. Another winner my friend.
Hi Davie,
Thank you- as always.
Wishing you and yours a Happy Holiday, and all the best for the New Year.
These videos are fantastic very informative and well explained for someone new to fly tying like myself thanks for making these videos.
Great looking nymphs mate. I’ve tied up a few of them now everybody wants me to tie some for the. As always Davie enjoy watching you tie. Thanks mate for sharing with us all. Best Regards Ken
brilliant again Davie,loved the original video of these and great to see done again.:)
Came back from fishing. This simplest fly worked great for me in the lake. Thanks!
Davie,
I have been tying flies for 26 years. In the past, I even did some commercial tying. I have been watching your videos for a few years. I appreciate how you present your fly tying instructions. In my opinion, you are the best fly tyer I have seen.
I hope you continue to produce more videos in the future!
Thank You Gang Unit Sergeant, Martinez for all you kind words which means a lot and will certainly encourages me to keep making these videos...All my inspiration comes from the many requests and questions I get asked so I couldn't do it without everyone here on youtube and others...I would like to wish you a Happy New Year and all the very best for 2018..
Davie...
Even I represent completely different strat with my only 3 years in occasional tying, I'm 100% agree. Thank's a lot for your effort, Davie
superb Davie these patterns will be perfect for the gryffe. cheers.
Best fly tying videos on the internet
Bucky Bug! Davie you're awesome! I love using metallic and pearly sewing threads & embroidery floss but I turn to you for teaching me how to use them. Those two style of flys will be on my list to tie. Maybe a visit to the pet store too! Many thanks Davie! Wishing you and yours a very blessed New Year!
My favorite euro rig is a gasolina perdigon as point fly, and this pheasant tail as the light fly.
Really a deadly combo, and both super quick and simple to tie
Thanks Davie!
Merci Monsieur McPhail
( Superbe travail ) as usual .
Great! Thank you for the best video’s on the net!.
Davie I watched this when it first came out! You do not need many more than these and I have had great results with them. So I'll share and comment again, just great flies
Another great video - thank you for all of them throughout the year. Happy Hogmany to you.
Thank You Brian, Happy Hogmanay to you too...

Great wee flies Davie. Those look great and will defiantly get the fishes attention. The Pearl Madeira Glamour also makes a great wing on midges.
Less is more meets efficiency of movement to create perfect results. A joy to watch.
Davie that's unbelievable how quick that successful wee pattern can be tied. I'll have more time to fish now. 😂
Nice one Davie, we have hundreds sometimes thousands of flies in our boxes and in all shapes and colours but the simplest ones always seem to be the best.
All the best for 2018
They work well Davie
I tried a couple of them at orchill in August and they done the trick!
Davie, I tied up a few of the pheasant tail nymphs and to say they have delivered would be an understatement! The black one in particular has been kind to me. Keep up the videos they are inspirational. Regards, Michael.
used the nymph patterns for a few years great fish catchers red and olive are good also
Thanks for showing us your secret weapons. Great tying.
Wow!!! Very impressive. I've watched all your videos here on North Coast of Ohio(shores and tribs of L Erie). I even am able to fully understand your lilt. . Actually, for a Yank, that is part of the draw.I'm really going to have to replicate these ties. Easy, a bit of weight and attractive. Thanks for your work. Bob
Hi Davey, I gave you and this fly a plug on my blog, 55onthefly
I tied up a bunch, thanks I had not tied these in a while...
I fish in southern US tailwaters. The main forage is midges and sowbugs. Definitely giving these a try in smaller sizes.
Tight lines.
Great nymphs Davy thanks for sharing
Have to tie up some of these for sure, love them
Thanks Davie will have to give these a try :)
Davie, I must say these patterns look like catches And I feel they are eminently ty-able by a novice, so thanks for sharing 15 years of experience
Smashing Davie, thanks for that…..every day is a school day. 👍
Nice Davie. Added these videos to my playlist. Thanx 4 sharing them.
Aloha, & Happy New Year.🌴🎣🎋💥
Happy New Year Kent and thank you for all your kind words...
All the very best Davie
Happy Hogmanay Davie.
Have a healthy, happy and prosperous 2018.
Best
Stuart
Happy New Year Stuart and all the very best to you for 2018...
ATB Davie....
Great video, great flies!
All the best for the New Year :)
Hi just started tying flies you make it look so easy. Might try these soon though.
Great few nymphs,simple but very effective.perhaps you could do a video of you tying the fly then showing us the best ways to fish them.many tiers show the tying but not the fishing of the fly.
Simply brilliant

top 3 tyer on youtube
Lovely Bugs! Just the way I like them. Maderia thread has been one of my favorits. Use color 52 in Damsel pattern. Works great. Now I have to buy a Pearly one. What is the number on that one?
Keep up the good work and have a Happy New Fishingyear!
one of my favorits to.. thnx.for sharing ur skills Daviesan!! ;))
domo arigatou gozaimasu!!
Hi, Davie,
Another brilliant video! I appreciate it is a bit after the event of 2017 but I was hoping you could recall the Madiera Metalised thread. I am not an embroidery fan but in looking at the colour charts "Pearly" is not listed and if you had a bit more information it would be appreciated.
Cheers
John
Hi John,
I have attached a link to the thread for you to see and it may help you find a spool nearer and hopefully cheaper. I'm glad you enjoyed the video..
All the very best Davie

Hi Davie,
I noticed that the dyed black PT I have has a very green sheen to it. Would you still used this or is a more solid black better?
Cheers,
Steve
Hi Steve,
It should be fine as you will get more of the black when it is tyed on but it would be good to have a few solid black feathers too..
All the very best Davie..
Hi, Davie
Brilliantly simple and highly effective, I’m sure.
I have x-small Copper ultra wire and a heavy duty ceramic bobbin holder, but every 4-5 wraps the wire breaks. Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Joe
I had the same issue. The problem is metal fatigue which causes the copper to crack and fracture. I found the if I allowed the wire in the bobbin to hang and untwist after a couple of turns then it is manageable. Also you need to feed the wire, so you don't create a fracture point where the wire touches the rim of the bobbin. I have a couple of ceramic bobbin holders but they are not smooth enough, the Tiemco is the smoothest by far.
How do I fish the these? I'm new so trying to learn. I go to the lake mostly, and river few times a year?
I’ve just introduced my Beaty to fly fishing!
He’s murdering fish.... and I’m not! I’m mortified!
I need your most GUARANTEED fly!
P L E A S E!!!😂😂😂
Hello Davie, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I especially likes the nymph ties with the metallic Madeira thread. I tie PT nymphs using a wide array of colors in my selection of tails and the Madeira threads substituted for a peacock herl thorax very much intrigues me.
I have not see the Madeira thread in fly shops here in the US. Would you know if it is a widely available thread?
Ebay has a few colors. When in doubt, check ebay and then Amazon for odd or hard-to-find materials.
Hi William,
You may have to go along to your local craft or sewing shop to find the Madeira thread as well as online...I'm glad you enjoy the videos and thank you very much for your kind words, I would like to wish you a Happy New Year and all the very. best for 2018..
Davie..
You should rename the bug fly to the Bucky Bug.
Hi dave, could you please tell me is there a reason for going opposite way with your pheasant tail feather to the copper wire, I've noticed this on several occasions and I've wondered why.
Hi Michael,
If you wind the pheasant tail fibre the same way as you wind your rib then you'll only catch in the odd fibre so by winding it the opposite way you will protect it and catch in more fibres, it also sits out a lot more..
All the very best Davie
Need help finding UV Blue Lite Brite. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks for the great videos, and fishing information,
Hi Dorothy,
I have attached a link to Angelina called blue magic which is what I would use to blend into dubbing as some of the new lite-brite materials stretch a little and can tangle when mixing.. I'm glad you enjoy the videos..
All the very best Davie

@@DavieMcPhail Thanks got it ordered. I did get some of the Lite Brite in UV ice blue by Sybai. I did not see any UV change when under a UV lite. I can use a little to hand blend with rabbit.
Is there a number at all on the Madeira thread? Both of the earlier links are dead... It appears readily available - but just getting the right one! Fab videos - loving getting back into my tying
Hi The Birches,
I have attached a link to the pearl thread that I used, Madeira Metallic 40 Col.300 200m Diamond..I am glad you liked the flies..
All the very best Davie

@@DavieMcPhail oh fab, that's exactly what I need, my other half is a sewer and said Barnyarns and will happily add to the order!
Very nicely done, as always. May I ask what color/style Madeira you're using?
Hi Doug Cushing,
I have attached a link to the madeira thread I used, Pearl was the one I used in the video...I'm glad you liked the flies...

I have seen the video for double humpy many times and tied loads am not usually happy with them I find it difficult to judge the amount of deer hair if you get too much it’s a nightmare.
Hi Davie,
Do you have any suggestions for a beginner's fly tying kit? Nothing fancy, just basics. Maybe even with a small vise included?
Not sure if they exist, and if so which may be the best. If not would you like to make a kit for sale?
Thanks for advice🏆🐟🏆
Hi disideratum,
Yes you can buy small beginner kits with a vise which has most of what you may need to start with, so I have attached two links one to Veniards kit and the other from Wapsi...

@@DavieMcPhail Thanks so much! Both look excellent.
I love it! I'm going to be tying a bunch. Could use the U.V. resin for the thorax?
Hi David,
I've used the UV Resin and it works fine...Happy New Year and all the very best for 2018, Davie..
Davie McPhail thank you! A Happy and healthy New Year for you and your family.
I have some medium olive micro glint what colour pheasant tail would you recommend please? And what would I be imitating with your recommendation. Thanks.
Hi Trevor,
Olive would go with many colours from natural brown, black and all olives would certainly work well..They would easily represent midge pupa and lake/pond olives and if tyed big enough damsel nymphs....
All the very best Davie..
@@DavieMcPhail thank you very much for the inspiration
Exceptional tying once again 👏 Do you have a site with these for sale id like to buy half a dozen of each nymph not the shrimp 1s
Hi Robert,
I'm glad you liked the flies but unfortunately I don't have a site to sell them though I do sometimes sell the odd fly on ebay, I list them on the community page when I do...
All the very best Davie..
Davie what weight Madeira Metallic are you using? All the best for 2018!
Hi Rib,
I have attached a link to the Madeira thread I used, I bought mine from a local sewing shop as it's a popular thread...Happy New Year...
All the very best Davie

DavieOnce again great tying. Where do you source the Madera thread or can you give me the thread number and style. Thanks.
Hi William,
I'm glad you liked the flies...I bought the threads from a local sewing/craft shop so I'm sure you may find some in yours. I have also attached a link to the madeira thread, Pearl was the one I used in the video...
All the very best Davie

🇨🇿CZ. 👀👍🏻 super 👍🏻👋🏻
I'm thinking you should call that the "Bucky Shrimp" in honor of your daughter's rabbit
9:51 Yes, accept no imitations. Use Bucky Dutch Blue rabbit dubbing for all your hoglouse bugs. Another simple, beautifully tied nymph.
How do you fish these please?
What was the best dry when you were a fishery manager?
czcams.com/video/zDztvVCqr2U/video.html
Hi johnyzonker,
To be honest I had a few dries that I would fish throughout the season though the Double Humpy/Tom Thumb tyed down to a size 16 worked very well for me, all I had to do was change the colour of the body and sometimes the colour of the deer hair...I have attached a link to it for you to see...
All the very best Davie
Do you fish these static or figure of 8 them back.
Hi Loyalist 1407,
Fishing them either way will work though allowing them to drift naturally with an odd twitch here and there is more natural for buzzers.
All the very best Davie
@@DavieMcPhail thanks davie much appreciated mate that's a pint and a wee double I owe you mate all the best for 2023 and Scotland has the very best fly tyier in the world in you you deserve the recognition.
Where can we get the wire?
Hi Norman,
I used to buy the fine copper wire from Veniards but they have stopped selling it, the nearest to it is the xtra small UTC wire which I have used in place of the original wire..In the bigger flies you could get away with a small sized wire..
All the very best Davie..
broooooo
Davie, where can I find your email address? I’d like to ask about an order.
