Hi alan robinson,
It's a very simple fly and one you should always have in your box in any size and colour, it's great to hear that you had a great day fishing them...
All the very best Davie
Sheer brilliance, simple and bound to be effective. Thanks
Great pattern. I will tie some before I head out to the lake today. My son, who is 6, was using your Carron Dabbler pattern last weekend and caught his very first Rainbow Trout. 14" in length. After looking at it for a minute we put it back in the water to hopefully fight it again one day!!! Thanks for the lessons. They seem to be paying off.
Simple and deadly wee pattern that i would alway's have in my box, in many colours. Another great video. Thanks :)
im about to start my flie tying journey myself next week when my vice arrives just buying everything i need right now
Hi Davie, .. I just want to say, Thank you for sharing and uploading your Videos .. I love your style and clear instructions - you make it look so easy...
Thank you Peter, I'm glad you enjoy the videos....
All the very best Davie...
just like a bus! if you wait long enough 3 will come along at the same time! Fantastic
Cracking tying as usual,i have yet to really give these a serious go but will make the effort this year,thanks for sharing..
Thanks Davie. I asked you to tie one but you gvae us three. Top man
Great video Davie. Love the 3 versions of the pattern.
The easier the better when tying to travel and fish for a weekend!
I love the cdc shipmans only with white cdc,killer just before dark!
Thanks so much! I wish you'd make a visit to the States!!
Very nice, Davie! I think that foam/hare's ear version would be great as a top dropper with a single or two midges below it on a certain lake I know! Will have to tie and try :-)

My go to pattern for 15 odd years. ✌ what about a redo
Thanks Davie!
Favourite fly try black/red version when heather fly about.
Hi Davie
I bought a beginners fly tying set a couple of weeks ago and now I'm running out of materials. What materials would you suggest I should buy. I'm mostly thinking of tying dry flies, emergent's, nymphs and buzzers, so if you could suggest something to get me going I would greatly appreciate it. And what colors are "essential".
Thanks from Finland!
P.S your videos have been of great help, thanks again.
I'm wondering if the foam version is buoyant enough to fish on the point in washing line style, with a couple of the unweighted versions on droppers - allowing the whole rig to fish just under the surface? Just wondering how the foam fly is typically used as it is a very interesting pattern.
Hi garyweglarz,
It can, you just have to use enough foam to suit the flies you are fishing, I have another version which is a combination of a hopper and the shipmans which is also a good pattern to use in the method...I have attached a link to it for you to see..

@@DavieMcPhail - thank you Davie, I will check that pattern out also. You probably know that just as euro-nymphing has finally caught on here in the States over the last several years, so too are U.K. stillwater techniques and flies finally starting to gain popularity here and up in Canada. Living in southern California I have mainly reservoirs rather than natural lakes to fish, so I'm planning to explore everything from fishing boobies on fast sinking lines to buzzers and nymphs using the washing line technique this coming summer. I really appreciate your posts. Thank you.
Are these type of flies just for the rainbow fisheries, or are they also fished on the wild lochs.,for the brown trout.
Hi Robert,
I've caught many wild brown trout on these flies especially in the lochs though the one tyed with the CDC works really well on the river...
All the very best Davie
@@DavieMcPhail many thanks👍
Superb as usual. Can you fish a shipman's in the river please?
HiDewi Jones,
You can easily use this fly especially the one in which I used the CDC feathers as it would give a good impression of a few nymphs emerging..
All the very best Davie
I like this fly, and I noticed, on another site, an arkoyde (sp?) Do you tie such a fly? If so, is there a video? Thank you.
Dave, thanks for the video, what width do you cut the foam to. Thanks Chris
Hi Chris Price,
It depends on the size of the fly but I would say 3 to 5mm square would be enough to float size 16s to size 12s..
All the very best Davie
Hi Davie which dubbing did you use on the cdc shipmans buzzer ?
Hi Alan,
I used olive seals fur for the body of the CDC version...ATB Davie
Davie,
Would you happen to have ever tied a Blue Wing Olive fly in a small size?
Thanks,
Redterra527
Could you use atron as a dubbing on this fly?
Yes you can Eddie..ATB Davie..
@@DavieMcPhail thank you so much for your prompt response. Like a lot of people I've accumulated a collection of small bags of this material over the years. Cheers mate.
hi davie which fishery did you work at?
Hi Screaming Reels,
I worked at Springwater Fishery for 15 years of and on from 1994...
All the very best Davie...
Is it possible to colour the etherfoam?
Hi Dewi Jones,
Yes you can, as I do at times colour them to suit the fly and you can also use fluorescent pens to brighten them up when the light is not so good...
All the very best Davie
