Hirouryglen, You can get a nice effect if you use a thick varnish which has got heavy with use, if it's too thin you'll not get a ribbed effect...You would also have to do the body first and tye off so that the body could dry before you tye on the wing buds... All the very best Davie

Hi Stephen, I was a fishery manager for over 14 years and a pheasant tail nymph and the quilled buzzer caught me more fish then any fly in my box...I especially like pheasant tail fibre on the bodies of my flies as I have a lot of confidence with them as this is important as well...Thank you for the kind words... All the very best Davie..

That's great, thanks very much Davie

Hello again Davie, I've just returned from a very frustrating but enjoyable day at Llyn Brenig, fishing nymphs and buzzers. I managed to hook into two fish where one knot failed and the other fish leaped clear of the surface and spat out the fly. There were fish rising occasionally all around but I had to work very hard all day for those two failed hook ups. This got me thinking back to this comment, I'm wondering what your go-to setup is for buzzer/nymph fishing on a reservior at this time of year? Hope you don't mind answering and non-tying related question! My setup was: a 9ft tapered leader || first 6" dropper || 5ft mono || second 6" dropper || 5ft mono || point fly so approx 18-19ft leader in total... in hindsight I'm thinking that I was probably fishing too deep all day? Hope you can help and thanks for the brilliant videos as always Steve

Hi Jack, You may struggle to tye them as small as the sizes you mentioned, I rarely tye these midge below a size 14 due to the sizes of the midge that hatch in our lochs...Chris and Steve are both amazing and very talented tyers so if I'm classed the same as them then I'm very happy to say the least...I'm glad you enjoy the videos and thank you for the kind words... All the very best Davie...

Hi John, I prefer the water to be as clear as it can though this fly certainly sticks out..I'm glad you liked it.. All the very best Davie

Hi Dewi Jones, Yes it would but it's also just as good in clear water as well..I have attached a link to the Alexandra which I hope helps you with your wing... All the very best Davie kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eMqAdtmozdK2dqs.html

Hi Electronic arts X, I do sell flies which I would sell on ebay but I have nothing at the moment because I am concentrating on making a few videos as many are having to stay at home ...I do link the flies I have selling on the community page here on KZfaq..Thank you for asking and for the kind words... All the very best Davie..

@@DavieMcPhail no problem davie thanks for the reply, take care

HiSasaamann, I've attached a link to a good video in which you'll see how to remove the herl from the peacock eye for the quills.. I'm glad you like the flies and that you find my videos helpful to your tying... All the very best Davie kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ramFedacvMevqpc.html

My problem is not making quill; with bleach is pretty easy! But I find your peacock eyes of better quality than the ones I find. Yours look wider and with more distinct dark and light nuances along the quill. Mine are more brown everywhere. Are all peacock eyes the same?

Hi *****, I buy the largest eyes I can buy and they come from a wholesale company hat supply many shops here in the UK called Veniards so if you know a shop that stocks their materials then ask them to buy in the extra large eyes and you should get the same as the ones I use.. All the very best Davie

Hi Davie, Thank you for your answer and explanation! I just have one more question: what happen if I use peacock herl instead of peacock eye? Of course bleached herl, so without "hair".

Hi *****, Because it's bleached the quill will be a lot lighter in colour but it will still work.... All the very best Davie

Hi Scotsman in the Philippines, We used epoxy resins and the one I mostly used was one that took 5 minutes to cure so it took a a little longer to make a few flies.. All the very best Davie..

Hi Enrique Izquierdo Sanchez, What you have to do is try and find the biggest peacock eyes you can as these are the ones I buy and you should find the quills will be well marked..I hope this helps you and thank you very much for the kind words... All the very best Davie

Ok, Davie, thank you very much for your advices. I will try to find the eyes of turkey larger than can All the very best.
