Thanks for taking the time to make these videos, Davie. I know I'm not alone in saying these have been a massive help in learning to tie and in developing my skills. Cheers.
BRAVO, all your flys🎉 are so good. Never forget if I remember well that the deer feathers are perfect for the dry flys. But 👏🏻 BRAVO nice.
Watched many of your Videos and really like the way you simplify things Thank you for your talent that you Share with the World .......
Thank you ... your explanations are clear and very helpful.
Thank you for another great fly pattern!
just picked up on your corner cutting dubbing bag trick ! no more waste and carry on for me , cheers Davie.. ps your caddis patterns are killing it on the club loch near campbeltown
Great video "as usual". good to see you back at your vise.Earl
We were fishing at this smallish mountain lake down in Crowsnest Davie. This lake is so pretty, but it was a long way to go cast to. There was a long shelf out there, but it was a serious distance to wade and cast. The rising fish were just another ten feet away. We put these on and it was just enough to reach some of the outside fish. That streamlined foam was just streamlined enough, to get you out there! Not huge fish but there were a lot!! We were glad to have them.
great looking caddis! il be tying a few of these up for next summer!!
Congratulations!!!!!!!
Very, very good!
Simpel and magnificent
Amazing!!!!
fantastico dressing david
Belle réalisation !! et trés visible dans le courant... ;-)
Weri Weri giddy!Davie!
Gut gebunden Davie McPhail.
Schöne Zeit.
Hi Davie - I know this is probably a bit off beam, but would you be able to say which fishery that is in the intro sequence?
i wish all tying videos had this guy narrating it with the accent lol
thx!!!
Hi Davie from Italy, i Have question regarding this dressing.
As dubbing is it ok if I use Kapok or something else instead of the dubbing you uses? I don't have a lot of experience and I want to improve my capacity. Can you tell me the right material as dubbing (kapok ore something else) e for this fly?
Hi giacomo Morini,
Kapok would be a great dubbing to use on this fly as I feel it could be used a lot more than it is, I had a lot of Kapok at one time and used it in small duns that I fished with great success..
All the very best Davie
Hi Davie. Thanks for the video. Any tips on not having the hair spin round and not sit on top like yours? I’ve heard of putting a loose turn around the hair before the shank and then tightening up.
I was using deer hair, is elk less prone to this?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Scott,
I would say Elk is easier to keep on top as it's slightly stiffer though as long as you keep a firm hold of the deer hair as you tye it on it should stay, waxing your thread will help give you more grip.. Merry Christmas...
All the very best Davie...
Davie McPhail Great! Thank you. I'll make sure to do that and also give some elk hair a go. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Hi Davie, Great pattern and good to see you posting again.
Could you recommend a good hair stacker please.
Best regards.
Alan.
Hi Alan,
I found the same stacker I've used for many years on the net but it's on ebay here's the link...
All the very best Davie

Thats what i have been looking for! One question tho, is there a reason u use yellow foam? Isnt it better to use more ginger/tann color for it?
Hi Krzysiek Stefanczyk,
I have tyed them with brown and black foam for customers and they still worked well so use what you like though I would say that the orignal dressing is hard to beat..
All the very best Davie
Thank you very much Mr Davie, you are such a kind and wise person in this manner :)
All the best to you too Sir. :)
the yellow foam is used mainly so that the fly is more visible to the angler, and on top of that that color has proven itself to be very effective over the years, so yeah yellow is the color to go for
Hi Davie, what colors do you use for this fly? Is it important that the color of the foam is yellow or is it less important. It is good your back, I love you tying movies. Andre.
Hi Andre,
When I've used this fly myself I've mostly used the yellow as this was the original colour and has worked perfectly, though I have used grey and brown on other species like the grannom..I'm glad you enjoy the videos...
All the very best Davie
Hi Davie,
Excellent video, as always. Was just wondering where I could buy the materials that you use in this video?
Hugo
Hi Hugo,
All the materials I used I bought from the Glasgow Angling Centre, I'll send you links to them...
All the very best Davie
*****
Hi Davie,
Thanks for the reply, I will be sure to tie some of these for the spring!
Hugo
Quick question Davies could you not use the foam and just gink the pattern.
Hy super nice !
Dear Davie,
Do you ever fish a dry- dropper?
If so, what is your preferred dry to use. (When there is no discernible hatch)
I like to fish tungsten beaded nymphs , so something with lots of floatation perhaps.
Kind regards,
Colbee
Hi Colbee,
I have used many a dry fly to help present a nymph pattern on the river and lochs as well as to catch with the dry fly at the same time. I would also put a dry on the point to keep the nymphs close to the surface which is a great method and caught me many fish over the years...If you were using a tungsten weighted nymph you will have to beef up your dry fly to support them..
All the very best Davie
hi davie
im not criticizing you or your videos
but when you write or when people write to you
why do they all put spaces between theyr sentences
by the way i like your videos very much they have though me a lot since i started tying 3 years ago
c
Can this fly be fished static or do you have to impart motion ?
Hi paulus837,
I've mostly fished this fly on the lochs when I was a fishery manager and I would fish it static, pulling it fast and twitching it as it's a good all-round pattern...It's a good pattern and worth having in your box..
All the very best Davie
Thanks, keep up the good work.
Прикольно круто.
Hello Davie. Great little caddis fly there mate. When your wipe finishing the head could you put a small amount of dubbing around that? And could you go smaller Davie?
Best Regards, Ken
Hi Ken,
You can add a bit more dubbing to tidy up the area where you have tied off, It does look better when you start to fish with it as all flies do in my view...I'm glad you liked it...
All the very best Davie
Sorry Ken I meant to say that I've tied them to a 16 and they look and work fine....ATB Davie
Excellent!
May i ask how many mm thick the cell foam is? Thank you!
Morning mariu lax,
I like to have the foam for this size of fly around about 3mm thick but a little heavier for the bigger flies and for the smaller ones I just give the foam a stretch to make it thinner..
All the very best Davie..
Davie McPhail Davie McPhail Good morning Davie, thank you for your answer! Your videos are fantastic and always a big help.
All the very best for you too, mariu lax
nice fly . do you have a book for sale of the flies make i would buy it
Hi Rod Levins,
I'm sorry I don't have a book and I appreciate that you would buy it if I had, so thank you for asking and I'm lad you liked the fly...
All the very best Davie
Ho from Italy David, ho many mm is the foam?
Morning giacomo morini,
3mm thick for this size of fly is good but a little heavier for the bigger flies and for the smaller ones I just give the foam a stretch to make it thinner..
All the very best Davie..
@@DavieMcPhail thank you for the answer, normally I use 2mm thick for all size of hooks, I tye this flies in size 12 - 14- 16
For what fish?
Hi Pierangelo B,
I've used it to catch Grayling, Rainbows and Brown Trout so most freshwater fish will take this fly..
All the very best Davie..
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍
How do you fish with this fly,like a boobie fly or a dry fly.Great video,keep on
Hi 557Charlie,
You can fish it as you like from pulling to just letting it drift over a rising trout it's a good all-round pattern both on rivers and lochs...
All the very best Davie
Grailing?
It's a very good fly for Grayling, Brown Trout and Rainbows..
All the very best Davie..
Davie McPhail Thank You!
Davie McPhail On what number hook luchshe to do?
Or perhaps in your neck of the woods you call it "the duo"?
