- Hi Everyone,
I do get asked a lot about the materials I personally use so in this video I show the type of hen necks that I have and used over the many years of tying flies...I hope this helps you in some way..
All the very best Davie..
Much appreciated as these videos are great instruction. Thank you, Davie.
Thanks, Davie! 👍🏻
Not only do we learn how to tye but the instructions on tools and materials is fantastic, thanks Davie.👍
Ur videos are brilliant very informative with flies and materials cheers big yin
There's nothing better than getting a notification from Davie! THANK YOU!
Thankyou for making this video Davie.
a neat way to store you necks.capes is with a large 3 ring binder with clear plastic sleeves that you normaly put a sheet of paper into
Davie , would love to see you do a series on Appalachian flies
So nice to see videos like this. I tied for many years (way before the internet) before realizing that there were different types of hackles. I just tied with whatever I could get my hands on, as I'm sure many people do. It's a great time we live in. Thank you Davie for sharing your valuable knowledge.
According to my better half "you don't need any more of them things" but you can never have enough!
I'll join the chorus of gratitude for the informative and humble videos you have been making for so long. Few of us will ever match your skill and knowledge, but your generosity in sharing them makes it possible to aspire. It is truly a priviledge to see the respect you have for the materials, and your understanding of how to make the best of what you have. Not everyone is willing or able to drop $250 or more on a Cree saddle, and I think most of us know it's not necessary - I think Kelly Galloup shares that opinion, but he might still sell you one. Like you, he has an appreciation for all of the parts that might be used - there's a purpose for every feather if you understand how they function. Thank you again for another excellent video.
Thank you so much Mr McPhail for the huge knowledge and teachings that you generously and friendly shared to everyone.
Thanks for making this video. I really appreciate this series you’re doing on materials. To a newcomer, the sheer amount of materials available for tying flies can be overwhelming and you have a way of making the choices manageable. I’m hoping you continue, covering dubbing types, synthetic stuff, and so on. Thanks again.
great info thanks again
Great information for people getting into tying so it gives them an idea on what to look for . Fortunately I lived in Colorado for 40+ years and was able to go to Delta and visit the farm and hand pick most of my capes and saddles and see the operation. There are other breeders as you have mentioned but Whiting in my opinion has the best selection for all your feather needs . I actually still have a Hoffman grizzly neck from around the mid 1980 . Thanks for you videos
Your quality and experience in tying is so great
Davie in the field of tying flys you are one of the very best. Your love of the craftsmanship involved. With a presentation style that equally appeals to newbies without overwhelming them and seasoned ole gits like myself. The two people I most respect on UTube are yourself and Lindsay Simpson. His combination of tying/fishing and camera skills are good. Plus I did know him back in the day when Ronnie Christie started his love of fly fishing. He was the depot Master Taylor. I was the depot barber. At Albermarle Barracks near Newcastle
Very practical insight into necks/capes. Quality feathers are good investment. I’ve got some old Keough in Dun, Brown and Grizzly that are still producing flies. Thank you.
Davie, you just reminded me that I never did take that field trip to Keogh Farms, which is about an hour away from me. Perhaps I'll do that before spring, if America is still recognizable by then.
Great video Davie. I often wonder what the more advanced tyers use in their material arsenal so it’s good (and educational) to see some.
