Great example Davie. Loving those Coq du Leon feathers

Coq de Leon for wings looks proper, it's worth trying out. Thanks Davie! 👍

Hi Dave very nice tying as always it's another one for my Dave box but I am still looking for that dry olive that I know will bring fish up in the rise to my olive fly I have beening out on the Corrib & fish feeding on olive all-round us & not one fish will look at our olive flyes one of my hardest flyes to get fish to take on for me & most of my fishing friend's that all said thank you for giving us your tying time & skills to us all so we can improve our on our own tying skills I hope you & your family & friend are staying safe at this hard times we are all find ourselves in love to all for Ireland

Beautiful fly dave 👍👍👍👍☘️

Very nice Davie.well done

The first time I saw pardo Coq de Leon was on a video by Kelly Galloup. I thought that stuff was so cool I immediately called and the only one he had was the one he used in the video. I bought it. Never thought to use it as a post for a para olive.

The anticipation of your posts is all gratifying. It's definitely worth the wait. Your techniques are amazing. Thanks for sharing!

Love your tying .nothing like seeing a pro go at it.it's a cool fly going to try it tonight thanks

thank you, thank you. Would have never thought of a post ( wing) that sparse. Love watching the Master work.

Thanks Davie! This fly was magic on my local burn this evening.

What a great pattern - and beautifully done!

Nice fly. I learn something new from every one of you videos. Thank you

Superb! A nice bit of work! 👍

Just how I like them. Spinner style. Thanks for another little beauty Davie. Hope you’re doing well in this awful time. Keep safe.

I liked that Coq de Lyon saddle!!! Lovely wee mayfly Davie. Keep up the good work and stay safe!!. ATB Chris

Wonderful as usual Davie Thanks

Love the fly, I have used the stripped hackle to stiffen the post up when wrapping. Cheers from Australia.

Beautiful tie.👍🏻 Great pattern to fish in PNW during BWO hatch in sizes 16-22. That same body and dubbing with partridge wrapped as softie great too. Thanks and stay well over there.

Great pattern, all natural. ATB Davie and thanks a lot.

I wish my Coq de Leon skins had such nice fibres on the feathers... Lovely tie!

Amazing Sir I always enjoy your ties! Cheers from Nova Scotia

excellent work. Been trying to get my touch back with some success. Love to see how it should be done. Thanks

Nice work keep them coming Davie ..

Toujours de très beaux montages.👍

Lovely fly as usual Davie.

Estimado, admiro su trabajo. Lo tengo como ejemplo para atar mis moscas. Saludos desde Argentina.

Fantastic skills sir!!! Thank you for sharing.

I learn something each time I watch!

Lovely fly, thank you👍🏻

A video from Davie on my birthday!! What a present!! Woohoo.

another nice one

Hope you and the family are in good health Davie. Catch up when we get the all clear.

Здравствуйте Davie McPhail. Превосходно выполнена мушка. Это как Вы умудрились двумя пальцами одни перья держать, а двумя другими этой же руки другое перо придерживать, вот что значит опыт в вязании. Муха выполнена с качеством в 100%. С уважением Сергей Н.

Tanks for a very nice fly👍

How would I go about dyeing capes and any help or advice you could help with please thanks great fly and video as allwells your a true artist thankyou

Got to try some of these

Dave, I love your KZfaq channel and the simplicity of the way you tie the flies. I in the US and interested in Victorian era salmon flies....mostly for the art of them as I have no need to fish with them ... as I fish for trout and bass here... I would like to know of a good trustworthy source to get one or two for display. Thank you. Tim S.

Awsome stunning to watch

Nice!

Perfect

Great fly as always Davy 👍. Have you got a tying for the claret dun that hatches on many of the hill lochs? It’s hard to find a pattern for them.

Thank you, really enjoy your videos. Did you get a new lense? Images seem clearer?

Did enjoy it, Davie... thank you. I don't know if I'm seeing a thing correctly... the dubbing in front of the wing post looks like it is moving the forward pointing hackle fibers back towards the sides. So it's clear of the fibers in the front area... yes? Thanks for the help, Davie... Mike

Beautiful tying. I have numerous coloured peacock eyed herl, some pre stripped but the two toned effect does not look as prominent as yours, it still looks mostly dark, what company sells the best.

Also, I use Polis Quills a lot. I didn’t know I could purchase the eyes dyed olive or other colors. Can I purchase Veniards products in the US?

Such a nice pattern. Do you wind the hackle shiny side up or down. Take care mr. McPhail. Atb!!
