I began learning to tie flies as a 6 year old watching my father at his vise mounted on the family dining room table. He almost always smoked cherry wood flavoured tobacco in his pipe while he tied, stopping now and then to sit back, take a few pensive puffs, and then proceed with the next explained step. I'm 64 years old now and my father passed long ago, but I still love to tie and learn new patterns and to perfect old ones.
All that's missing when I watch your engaging tutorials is the now politically incorrect, rich pipe tobacco smoke smell.
A great looking pattern, Davie, with the added plus of simplicity. I have similar patterns - they do work really well! I shall tie some of these... Many thanks for sharing...
Therapy for the world! Lovely fly, every film helps me relax. Keep up the good work! Thank you.
Very GRHE type pattern which of course is one of the greatest fish catching nymphs out there …. And with the addition of CDC it gives it (as ‘Mainely Flies’ puts it ) “That nice buggy look!!” … my local rivers here in Colorado are a bit of a mess at the moment with spring thaw run off but I’m definitely going to whip a few of these up for then they settle down … great video as always .. thanks 🙏
Just looks right Davie…all the ingredients are there for a wild brown trout snack 🍟😂…nice pattern, thanks for sharing
Great little fly Davie, think I will be giving it a try ,Colin🏴
Nice fly. Reminds of a fly called “Guides Choice” popular in western US.
Hi, looks like a trout magnet. Will definitely tie one.
Brilliant pattern. I fish something similar, and will add your modifications to my pattern. Thanks for that. I'd love to see a version that's more hackle dressed and without the bead as a dry pattern.
Davie, Some scruffy little flies are plainly very FISHY ! Thanks for this one !! I bet it works a treat !!
Super Little Pattern, Hope all is good with you Davie, All the Best, Liam , Ireland,
All good thank you Liam and I hope all is well with you too...ATB Davie..
Another great pattern for nymphing…thanks!
Thank you for the demonstration.
Good Searching Pattern, it's true!! Great fly
Very nice pattern thx for Sharing Davie
I tied a few of these up the other day and got my biggest browns to date out of my home river the Cohocton. It measured 25-1/2 inches male no idea how much it weighed but it's my PB Brown on fly rod out of that river.
Благодарю, Дэви! Нимфа - класс! 👍🤝🇰🇿
A sweet fly, keep them coming
Nice one, Davie. Enjoyed that.
Mike
Brilliant as always!
Smashin Davie, need to see you fishing this on the Ayr sir.
Great looking fly, should be a fish puller of note. Thanks Davie
Lovely fly.
magnifique j'adore vos montages merci
I like that hook.
Moc pěkné video
Lovely pattern again Davie. How do you mix up the dubbing, by hand or mixer?
Hi @andreashaase1540,
I have attached a link to a video I made on how I like to mix my dubbings for you to see and I'm glad you enjoyed the video..

All the very best Davie..
Fantastic looking pattern. Really like the look of the hook. Wht weight of bead on the 16 please ?
Hi Davie, apologies if it's been asked before, but what type of bobbin thread holder are you using please? I'm having issues with my many brass holders at the moment breaking the threads when wrapping.
Hi @riflemang176,
The bobbin holder I like to use is the Tiemco Heavy Duty which I have used for many years. I have attached a link to a video I made on how to adjust them so that the thread runs smoothly from it when you are tying the fly which is very important..

All the very best Davie
@@DavieMcPhail thank you so much, that has really helped. All best and keep up the great work and inspiration for us all.
Could you mix in white CDC? Or highly recommend the dyed as mentioned?
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
