A follow-up comment, Davie. I was so impressed by your tying, I copied it faithfully, and made quite a lot to use and give to friends. The one slight problem with the latex rubber band, is that it tends to deteriorate in the fly box. Easy enough to replace, of course. The fly certainly catches.
Потрясающая работа! Следующий раз когда сяду вязать, неприменно начну с нее! Всех благ вам, Дэви!👍🤝🇰🇿
Everything about your videos are wonderful. When I see a new one posted, my day just got better :-)). Thank you.......
The caddis pupa,one the best 👌 fly,you can find 🙌
I have learned some great techniques from watching your videos. You pattern are elegant, and most importantly fairly simple to tie (usually!). Thanks much for the great vids!
Amazing once again.............. Thank you for all your videos and the time you put in to share them with everyone. ;-) My five year old nephew told me the other day, his two favorite things to do are baseball and tying flies..... He is doing so good, he's tied sixteen already. He asked me if I could get him the kid kit, so he could practice and get really good. I'm so proud of the little guy. Now I know what I have to get him for his birthday..... Best wishes, lindsay
Davie, you do miniature art that has a function and we can see the entire process creation and learn from you. Totally amazing.
Me a gustado mucho y e aprendido como hacer otras moscas que yo no he hecho nunca muchas gracias por estos consejos
Another beautifully crafted fly, Davie. Thanks again for sharing your skills.
Mr McPail Love to watch your videos very talented. Thank you for sharing your knowledge ,you do a great job of explaining things. Thank You Matt
Дэви, классная работа. Благодарю! Мушка - супер!👍🤝🇰🇿
Another brilliant fly from the vise Davie. Much appreciate your work. Thanks for sharing. All the best to you, Sean
cant get bored watchin you Davy
Since I have subscribed, I feel a real urge to try my own. Great tutorials davie, keep up the good work.
Just found this one Davie. It’s a super Caddis pattern. I’ll try my hand with it and thank you for another great tie.
Great pattern. Best fly dresser I’ve watched
That latex body looks amazing.
Davie Thanks for sharing your wonderful work with us.
Lovely tie - Well done!
Hi Davie. I like your technique. Many big fishes on your flies and many emotions.
Miro
Davie. That's a great looking fly. It may work even better with eyes made from that green/yellow monofilament line you use for eyes. Just a thought.
This is one of the great patterns from you, Davie. I do hope CZcams are sending you lots of revenue from your wonderful vids. I am being INUNDATED with ads. I know you don't control those interruptions.
Hi Duofold,
I do have a bit of control over the adverts which should be set at just one at the beginning and no more but this one was for some reason set differently so I have hopefully sorted this out..If you come across another like this let me know..I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for the kind words..
All the very best Davie..
@@DavieMcPhail Davie. An ad at the start is fine. A small price to pay for instruction from the Pantheon of three that comprise the Gods of fly tying. McPhail, Ord Clarke, and dear old Oliver. After fifty years of tyings that I thought were pretty good, the three of you have transformed my flies.
Davie, seus videos são muito bom, aprendemos cada vez mais, Abraços do Fábio do Brasil.
thank you so much for your fast answer. i am startet flytying because i see youre videos here i try to get the materials from some flys that you tyi thank you davie ( sry about my english :-) )
mercpour ces magnifiques vidéos que vous tournez pour nous
Davie Very Nice my Friend
Looks the business Davie, i'm gonna tie a few up for next month.
Como siempre senor Mcphail,,,,bonita mosca,,,,saludos y mucha suerte desde el fin del mundo,,,chile good look
Amazing, that came out really really nice
Really nice! Thanks for sharing
Davie,
I would like to thank you for taking the time to upload these videos, they have taken me from a complete fishing/fly tying beginner to someone that can now tie my own flies (badly I'm sure but at least they are mine)
Like others I has inspired my 8 year old now who not only fishes with me, but also sits for HOURS tying your patterns and of course his own "wacky" designs ;-)
There is no better feeling than catching a fish on a fly you have tied yourself and we both have had fantastic success on all of your patterns, sometimes we were the only people catching and have now started giving out the names/links to your patterns for my fellow club fishermen so expect a glut of subscribers soon.
So thank you again and please keep posting.
One final thing if I may, the bleached pheasant tail I can't seem to find. Did you bleach them yourself ?
If so could you tell me how please as this is the next fly my son and I want to tie.
Many thanks
Leon
Hi Leon,
Hearing how much you and your son are enjoying tying flies makes doing these videos a pleasure as this is the reason why I felt I had to pass on what I have learnt over the years as I still enjoy tying flies now as much as I did over 30 years ago and I'm sure you and your son will tye just as long if not maybe longer than me ...I buy the bleached Pheasant tail from a wholesale company here in the UK called Veniards they do have many companies that stock their materials around the world so I'll attach a link for you to search for a shop closest to you which I'm sure will be able to get you the tails...

All the very best Davie.....
***** Thank you for the links I or should I say we will be off to Ludlow at the weekend to get the feathers.ThanksLeon
Excellent example Davie you are a true master of the craft.I couldn't get the latex so I purchased a box of latex gloves from my local Tescos and cut strips from those .
Can you explain how you bleached the pheasant tails please and would bleaching goose tail feathers work .Thanks Davie excellent work .
This is a great pattern!
tres belle realisation! merci.
Yep!......
Видео очень отличного качества. Объяснения все очень доходчиво и понятно. Просто прелесть, наслаждаюсь этим видео.5555555
Just tried tying this fly Davie looks pretty snazzy.
Я бы с удовольствием занялся этим делом, не ради наживы или бизнеса, а просто для себя, очень интересно, но нужен инструмент, а без него сделать очень проблематично. Жаль что не имею такой возможности. Я бы дарил таких мушек своим друзьям кто увлекается такой рыбалкой. Это же просто класс.55555555
Excellent!!! This was 9 years ago, what are you doing now? Still tying I hope! Tight lines🐜🦗🪰!!!!!
Super 👍
Hello Davie! Just wondered if you have a book out there somewhere?? Love your videos ,keep them coming ! Thanks. Robert Van Alstine.
Hi Robert,
I was never very good at putting pen to paper especially to explain how to tye many of the patterns I have filmed as I feel it's much easier to show someone rather than writing it down...I'm glad you enjoy the videos and I'll certainly be filming many more....
All the very best Davie
Hi Davie,
Love this pattern!! I think this will work well here in Australia!!
I'm liking the latex look for the body on these flies but was wondering if there is a good way to build it up for a fatter body like a cicada has. Would it be worth wrapping underneath it with something to bulk it out? I have An idea for a cicada with a body made using latex, with a flash and fine fibre wing mounted on the side rather than the top and a deer hair thorax to float it. Would love to see what you could come up with based on this idea?
Cheers again for the inspiration.
Colin
Hi Colin,
I'm glad you liked the fly and I'm sure if you give it a go you will catch on it..I have tyed a couple of small emergers with the latex as it will help to get the body below the surface..It will certainly give you a nice Cicada body and worth a go, I have tyed Cicadas but I was using deer hair on the bodies much like a bomber for friends and they worked really for them..If you tye some let me know how you get on...
All the very best Davie
Davie - thanks for the tutorial...great fly...I am thinking of adding a light coat of UV material over the latex to add a shine and maybe some durability to the body...your thoughts would be appreciated. Keep up the great work!
Thanks formthis and all your amazing videos. I'm trying these with what are available materials. How important are colours ? and also time of year to use particular styles please.
Beautiful
nice fly
awesome
Hi Davie, sorry to bother you! How wide was the latex you sliced?
Love your work, the quality and the easily to follow tutorials are second to none!
Hi Chris,
You're not bothering me at all...I would say about 5mm to 6mm wide would be fine for this size of fly but after tying three or four flies you'll get used to working with the latex. When you stretch the latex it will reduce by about half it's width and length... I'm glad you enjoy the videos and that you find them easy to follow...
All the very best Davie
Great looking caddis there Davie. Can you use any kind of latex or use the stuff they already have cut into 1/8 inch wide. You working on that Carrie Stevens streamer?
Best Regards, Ken
Hi Ken,
Use what you can find as I'm sure it wouldn't make any difference to the fly..I'm sorry I haven't had a lot of time to look into tying a streamer as I am now working for myself and I have to sort out a lot of paper work to get things going..I do plan on tying one of Carries flies though...
All the very best Davie
Hey davie
I was wondering what makers you use. I am a beginning tier and I love your flys. Also I was wondering if you could make videos on the Adams and the royal wulf I have heard that they work great and love your videos.
Thanks josh
that is very good
очень крутая нимфа, даже без глаз
🇨🇿CZ. 👀👍🏻 super 👍🏻👋🏻
Hi Davie, again a beautiful tie. You're videos are always inspirational. Just wondered if you bleach your own feathers or do you buy them that way. If you do bleach them, does the same method work as foe peacock herl or are there special bleaches needed. I tie just for the pleasure and on a small scale and am off work at the mo undergoing chemo so I find myself at the vise al lot and dying and bleaching my own feathers and furs adds to the pleasure and gives me something to tsake my mind off things. Any advice gratefully accepted. I appreciate that you are a busy man and am always very grateful for your time and expertise. It is also lovely to hear how much you enjoy fishing your flies, also to me one of the great escapes. Was also wondering if there was a reason that you took down your nymph playlist? Thank you so much for the inspiration, pleasure and grat knowledge,
Yours Karl.
Sorry for spelling mistakes
Karl
Hi Karl,
I'm sorry to hear that you are going through chemo, I hope all goes well with you and that you have a full recovery...
I tried bleaching some materials once and I made a great job of destroying good fur so I buy them already bleached, The pheasant tails came from a wholesale company called Veniards so if you know a shop that stocks their materials I'm sure they'll be able to order you some...
I'm sorry about the playlists as I felt that I had to redo them because I had forgotten most of what I had done and a new list and titles would help refresh as many had stopped being viewed..
Many thanks for your very kind words ...
All the very best Davie
Thanks Davie, as usual you've been a great help.
I did enjoy it, Davie, thank you.
Was wondering if you purchase the bleached pheasant tail or bleach your own. If you bleach your own, would you say how you do it, please?
Mike
Hi Mike,
I buy the pheasant tails already bleached as they come from a wholesale company called Veniards, I've attached a link to these feathers...

***** Thank you Davie, I appreciate that...

👍👏👏👏🐟🎣
Thank you for the piece of information (pheasant tai) other question : where to buy the latex (no traitor in France)
Hi Christian Berthet,
I have attached two links, one to Veniards who sells the latex but they are a wholesaler so I have also attached a link to the stockiest of their materials and you'll see that there's one in France..I'm sure they'll be able to help you...
All the very best Davie

Good day Davie, I was wondering if you ever bleach feathers. I use household bleach to remove fibers from ostrich and peacock to get quills,so I know that's too strong, but thought maybe peroxide or hair bleach may work. I have seen the videos of you dying feathers and didn't know if you bleached as well. Thanks
Hi Jr Rose,
I did once use peroxide to bleach some materials and didn't do a good job and ended up with a mess so I have never done it since though I have used normal bleach to remove the fine fibres from herl like yourself...If you know what you are doing though you can bleach materials and end up with some really nice feathers...
All the very best Davie
great as always! would it last longer if you used UV resin on the latex? Also what is that wax you use? Is it a product you can buy? thanks
Hi Jake Ray,
It may last longer but to be honest as long as you tye it in nice and tight you shouldn't have any problems, but I would try the resin as well just to see if it fishes better...
I use a Prepared Fly Tyers wax sold by a wholesale company called Veniards so any shop that stocks their materials should be able to help you...
All the very best davie
Класс! 👍🤝🇰🇿
Im a huge fan! Are those Markers acrylic?
Hi Krzysiek Stefanczyk,
The Pantone pens are acrylic as far as I believe, I have used them for years and found them to work extremely well..I'm glad you are a fan and that you enjoy the videos...
All the very best Davie
Nice insect Mr. McPhail. What is the maxim fish weight with that hook size? Thanks.
Hi Enrique Santiago,
I'm glad you liked the fly it's certainly worth having a few in your box.. It's a very good hook and the biggest rainbow I've landed on this hook is over 13lbs I've also caught salmon on it when I was fishing for trout and grayling...
All the very best Davie
Класс!!!
Я только только начинаю вязать мушки, вернее пытаюсь,крючков и материалов мало совсем,смотрю ваше видео настолько всё аккуратно, красиво и мушки 💯% рабочие,я такие даже в магазине видел,покупал ,150 р одна штука.На них хорошо берёт Хариус.Может когда то и я научусь вязать так как вы.
hello davie
i have seen a linc on a video of you bleaching peacock (stripping for quills)
- is there a method (mixture) bleach to water you use
to get this result on the pheasant tail ?
thank you in advance
hi , please can you tell me the color number of the second pen the brown one thank you
Hi Flow Reiter,
I like the staedtler permanent bold brown marker the best as it lasts much longer than any other I've used....ATB Davie
Ou peut-on se procurer ce latex ; appremment pas en France . Pouvez-vous me communiquer une adresse. Remerciements
Ou se procurer ce latex fin et naturel ?
quel matériel est utilisé pour la boite à ailes et les antennes ?
Hi Christian Berthet,
I used bleach pheasant tail for the thorax and for the antennae, I have attached a link to the ones I used..
All the very best Davie
