I do so enjoy the variation of the flies that you show in your videos !! I plan on tying up a few different colors of this fly & try them on the Trout in my local rivers, along with trying this fly for Bluegill (panfish) in my local small lakes. Thanks for your skill at the vise !!! David M. Clunk Fisher-of-Men Fly Tying Ada, Michigan USA.
Hi Davie. I’m getting in to my lists of flies-to-tie from when I was kinda dragged away from my normal days by the hospital venture. Aaaah..... 😊😊😊🥰🥰🥰😊😊😊 Nice pattern here and one I’ll make the effort to tie. Thank you for another one dude.
Like the Cormorant does. It should take plenty of fish. That is a real beauty. I will be trying one on the Derwent soon. Thank you again Davie. Take care. 👍🎣🙂
Great looking fly mate. Will have to do a few for my box. And try them on a few brookies. Thanks for sharing a great video. Best Regards from West Virginia, Ken
Nice winging technique Davie. I've been fiddling about using hair and dubbing to replace feathers for wings. I like the way you actually tied on the leather...I've been using small zonker strips but only tying on the hair and cutting the leather off.
Hi Simon, I have tyed a few salmon flies using this method, I did plan on filming one so just keep me in mind as I will forget. One of the flies I did this method a lot on was the Sunray Shadow... All the very best Davie
Hi Davie ,can I ask what is the exact material I need to buy for the wing of the cormorants you tye ? The rabbit looks so much better than Maribou I use ? absolute fantastic tying , love your videos , I’ve had great success tying up some of your flies in the past 👍👍
Hi @MrDJGILLIES, I have attached a link to the pine squirrel dyed black that I used in the video though I did buy mine from Veniards a few years ago..You can use rabbit as well as I have done this many times, I'm glad you liked the fly.. get-slotted.co.uk/troutline-pine-squirrel-skin-1499-p.asp All the very best Davie
Hi John, I use a Law vice but unfortunately it is no longer being made, I did a video of the vice so I have attached a link to it for you to see..I'm glad you liked the fly.. All the very best Davie.. ruclips.net/video/3P6MZIrpGG0/видео.html
So the cormorants are mostly intended for still waters? Have you ever tried them in rivers? Like the look of it and will play with your pattern using materials I have on hand! Thanks for some more inspiration as always! Cheers!
Morning Mike, They are mostly fished on still waters but there's nothing to say that they wouldn't work well on the river as they do give a great impression of a small fry or nymph..Let me know how you get on and many thanks for the kind words.. All the very best Davie..
Thanks Davie, great pattern. a couple of queries. do you think you could substitute the squirrel for rabbit strip? Secondly, how do you fish this pattern? Keep the great videos coming
Hi Mark, Rabbit would be fine so definitely tye a few up with it as It will work just fine...The cormorant can be fished many ways from just hanging and drifting with the current to twitching and stripping like a small fish so it's a great style of fly tyed in many colours...It's used a lot on the lochs and lakes by many of the competition anglers because of this so it would certainly be worth tying a few up..I'm glad you liked the fly.. All the very best Davie..
Hi ess0tus, It can be fished many ways from just hanging and drifting with the current to twitching and stripping like a small streamer just as you said so it's a great style of fly tyed in many colours...It's used a lot on the lochs and lakes by many of the competition anglers because of this so it would certainly be worth tying a few up..I'm glad you liked it.. All the very best Davie
Love these videos. I learn a lot and they help me unwind 🙏💯
Hi Davie: I did enjoy that and being Comorant Week, i'm going to give it a go and learn a new technique in the process. Thank you sir!
Thanks Davie, always a pleasure to watch you at work.

Very nice , I like the way you tie the wing in . Going to tie some up and swing them on the Henry’s Fork .
Thanks

Nice one, nice one, nice one. That’s a rainy thursday afternoon filled up for me tying up some of these beauties. Cheers. English Dave.
Very nice Davie love the various options
Lovely looking fly Davie
Aw Davy yet some man. We all tie Cormorants but that's a different slant all together. Thank you buddy AGAIN 😆👏👏👏👏👏
A braw wee beastie Davie. Thanks for the tips. 🎣👏👍
Very nicely done I'm going to try this one also. I'm learning a lot of your tying.
Great pattern Davie can see that one working very well. Hope your keeping well mate
Really like this pattern, all good🤙😎🎣🐟

another fantastic fly Sir
Might try that one on my local small water .
Great attractor colors , this combination and color variants really POP ! Excellent tie as always, two thumbs WAY up. L 👍👍
Very nice Davie will have to invest in some pine squirrel
Great video thanks Davie. Stay safe BigDavie
Absolutely amazing!!!
Hi Davie great pattern, I was wondering the way you tied in the black pine squirrel if you could do the same with rabbit zonker.
Would be a great salmon fly. Going to give it a go this fall.
Don't think I've seen you use the pine squirrel tying technique for a salmon fly wing but assume would work just as well.
Hi Simon,
I have tyed a few salmon flies using this method, I did plan on filming one so just keep me in mind as I will forget. One of the flies I did this method a lot on was the Sunray Shadow...

Thanks again for a great pattern, will be tying a few of these!
Any chance you could do a dapping fly one of these days?
Amazing, as always!!
Love it thx for sharing
Awesome as per👌👌
Love this fly which way would you fish it davie
I wonder how many flies you used that velcro brush on, it looks like you still use the same one for many years now.

Hi Davy, beautiful fly.
Can I ask you what kind of vice you use?
Hi John,
I use a Law vice but unfortunately it is no longer being made, I did a video of the vice so I have attached a link to it for you to see..I'm glad you liked the fly..
All the very best Davie..

🇨🇿CZ. 👀👍🏻 super 👍🏻🥃👋🏻
How about using black squirrel tail?
Hi Dale Weller,
Black squirrel would make a good wing, rabbit is also worth using as well...
All the vert best Davie
love it!!!!
How do you fish this fly?
So the cormorants are mostly intended for still waters? Have you ever tried them in rivers?
