I’ve returned to this video several times. I consider Davie the best fly tyer and certainly the best fly tying teacher on the planet. This pattern is so simply perfect that I see it taking trout anywhere it is fished. I’ve tied several of them and fished it over some very picky trout and have done very well with it. There is something really special about Davie McPhail. One of the items on my 100 items bucket list is to spend a day with him...1/2 day tying and 1/2 day fishing in his beautiful country.

Probably the best flytyer on KZfaq, excellent.

Great idea Davie, like the look of that one can't wait to tye a few up

love it! : simple, elegant, correct proportions and colours.

That’s a really nice midge there Davie. It’s one I’ll definitely have a go with. Thank you for another one.

Very Clever Davie, the options open to the body and thorax almost become endless. Yet another wee work of art, great stuff!!

Lovely fly Davie. Great tip for CDC dubbing. Many thanks for sharing.

You have the best fly tying videos ever. I know that you are a master at this. Thanks Davie for sharing your work. :-)

Love watching your process. Thank you.

Sweet and simple tie, can't wait to try it out, thanks for sharing 👍

Excellent little fly as well tied again. I forgot all about this one. So nice to find it by scrolling down thru the years of you're KZfaq video's. And old friend of mine ,when i was young also gave the tip to spare the left overs cdc. To make cdc dubbing. Specially as it was very expensive back then. But still is,and or why waste this perfect buoyant material.

Tks Davie 4 anthr great tying video. I truly appreciate repurposing fthrs as I save my leftovers 4 diff uses. The blow dryer trick was great n never occurred to me. Thank you 4 ur videos n tips. God Bless you!

Thank you. Your instruction is fantastic. That is one pampered fly.

Great video. I never thought about using old material for dubbing. Thanks for your tips!

What a cracking fly Davie

Spectacular I'm tying and I'm your fan Dave Congratulations!!!

Thanks Davie. Some great ideas there.

Brilliant instruction on flytying. i just started tying flys again after a number of years. im a novice again

Nice pattern and a great wee saver demo. I do like to save a penny or two

Genius ! Crackin wee fly Davie 👍

Hi Davie the use of used materials is great .I have done the same thing with cdc myself your idea works great. thanks you very much for your help .Happy New year .big fan of your work

thank you for using the left overs

Enjoyed the lesson thank you sir

Elegant in its simplicity. Love the idea of saving the cut ends of the CDC. I will do that from now on. After seeing how much dubbing you came up with from relatively few feather ends. All the best to you and yours. Thanks again. Sean

looks great

Excellent recycling.

like the fly

Merci beaucoup une nouvelle fois pour le partage de cette vidéo . J’aurais juste une question ... pourquoi ne pas utiliser le Magic tool pour des raisons de simplicité... je n’ai aucune action chez Mr Petit jean , mais cette appareil est simple et efficace...?

I like this method for cdc wings rather than using the stem and folding it

Ah very good Davie, I didn't know you could do that with the UNI, I thought it had to be done with the THC! 👍🏻

Hello Davie, Again a real good looking pattern. Ask you something. After you had worked with a uv resin and a torch, you did varnish the body. What is the main reason to do it and what varnish is a good one to use? With kind regards an tight lines. René

Another great-looking fly from a true master. This one should appeal to many, as it looks easy to tie, and it allows the tyer to recycle some expensive material. You talked about adding floatant; would you use CDC oil, or would a dry powder also work?

Great looking pattern. Now if I could just find a good commercial source for "long" stripped peacock quill. Bought a while ago and they seem very short. They were "Polish" quills.Are quills the same as peacock herl?

👍💪

Any chance you could tie the version using the red seals fur I find seals fur hard to use so any tips would be greatly appreciated ....

I would be most appreciative if anyone can tell me where to get packages of CDC that are larger that the amount of loose feathers on Davie's table! I have been trying to find anywhere to get CDC that has more than 20-25 feathers for $5 US!!!!

If you must heave a sigh while gathering cdc barbs, turn your head, or you'll blow your work off the table.

what make of grub hook are you using . thanks in advance .

Ciao Davie, sei un grande costruttore di mosche. Che numero di amo hai usato nel video? Grazie!

Love watching your videos with cc it confuses the shit out of the translation

Enjoying your TMC Razor scissor?

Anyone have link to the peacock quill ?

you always seem to have so white and clean quills is it from the bleach i just use an eraser tryed to ask on some swedish page about what to use for bleach we dont have the same names and brands here is it the same as clorin ? thank you for another amazing pattern too had so much fish on many of your patterns cant thank you enough

Davie, what varnish are you using to coat after you put on the UV resin??

What kind of die do you use

What is CDC you keep saying?

Hi Davie, sorry but there is a much better way to cut the CDC feathers to make dubbing, get the wife to do it. Reg

Excellent ty. Do you have a web page where you sell these? Tight lines🦗🪰🐜!!!!
