Body, Dark Olive Squirrel Dubbing

Thank you Davie, this is a beautiful simple fly. I love the hackle winding thru the wing and you taught me yet another trick.
Ive learned so much from this channel over the years! Another excellent pattern to add to the tackle box. Thanks for another great video.
Just looks the perfect dry fly pattern .
Excellent looking fly Davie. Nicely tied and well explained. Many thanks for sharing.
Davie thank you for teaching me better tying of fly's. If i may be of assistance.
To remove the squeak from metal onto all bobbins. Place a thin "plastic" in between bobbin and bobbin holder such as wide cellophane or celotape "masking tape plastic" Push onto spool both sides scissors trim outside and sharp blade to cut out the center hole this you may have to do twice each side. First take off labels on the bobbins will greatly help.
This stops friction thus the squeaky sounds.
Next : with a big thread hacksaw down aluminum bolt for the bobbin hole shaft to keep thread tighter and better spinning of threads. I do this on all persalls silk.
Hope you find this information helpful
Regards Phil.
Davie myself i have thick leading edge tape used on the helicopter rotary blades.
Always amazing Davie. I know no fly tier with that absolute precision and command of the lengths.
Very nice and straightforward presentation. I learned something new with the deer hair and hackle head and will tie one of those flies in a larger size try it out for peacock bass (Miami, FL suburb) this morning.
Superb model. A fly as I like them, simple, rustic, easy to make and which must float very well on fast waters.
Another nice little bug Davie. I feel quite confident with this one. Thank you for another one dude.
Nice looking fly, thanks Davie
Absolutely fantastic!! Thank you for the tips and great step by step!! Keep them coming sir!!!
Thanks Davie. This will be a great addition to my rough water dry patterns.
You are amazing to watch. From the simplest to off the charts!
Still the best. Thanks Davie.
Davie I use thick tape from the leading edges of the helicopters rotary blades.
You can buy similar from a builders warehouse.
Quote : hope you enjoyed that .
Beautiful tie Davie as always.
Thanks Davie, this was one I've waited for. A great pattern for the Annick here in Irvine.
Very great fly.Tanks Davie👍
Great pattern - nice and simple too. Many thanks.
I stand in awe,but that's nothing new when watching you tie,Davy.
Great looking dry fly mate. Bet those would be a killer in size 18’s. Thanks for sharing the video from the Master. Best Regards, Ken
The material seems to jump into the proper location for Davy. Wonderful tie
Love this pattern Davie I have fished similar for over 65 years on the upper Clyde. I will try this tying in lieu of the stripped peacock quill body. Cheers. Big Davie

Ever thought of tying some Fraser nymphs, there brilliant on ravensthorpe !
@@kingdom777866 Yes the Fraser nymph I tie on 14/16 hooks and they do really well on my small loch. I like to use a died light olive pheasant tail ribbed body and wing case. Hope you try and enjoy. Big Davie
Another cracking video cheers big yin
Great lesson.
Excellent stuff Davie!
thanks for the pattern. I have a favorite pond that I can't figure out in the late season. Maybe this will be the answer
Love it!
Thanks Davie.
I rue the dearth of proper roe deer here in the states. Your fly is great..
I knew a Gary Payne in Cal. Been trying to find him. Not you is it?

Show show belas belas Mestre gênio Maravilha um abraço
This channel is known as the first ever comment in the world commented in RUclips history.
Your basic dry fly! 👍
Quality👌 any other suggestions for late season drys?
Cheers again
Hi Davie.
Starting fly tying at start of lockdown ('cos I needed a new hobby to do at home) having caught my first trout on the fly a couple of weeks before that. Love your channel but the whole experience has thrown up many questions;
E.g.
Do you ever float test your flies, especially when playing with new patterns?
Does the presentation of the hook make any real difference? I.e. if a dry fly floats head down or should it be 'tail heavy"?
I have followed some of your patterns, and I have played around and made some patterns of my own and caught on most of the patterns that I have had time to fish, so it can't all be bad. but I would like to improve my 'finesse".
Thanks for all your efforts Davie, and I reckon you've prevented me from going stir crazy during these difficult times.
Stay safe and tight lines.
Hi IDRIS,
Over the years I've tried many new and wonderful materials some that worked really well and many others that didn't so I would certainly recommend tying a few up in different proportions to see how things go..Over the lockdown period I did spend a lot of time filming flies for RUclips which I know many like yourself found them very helpful but it also helped me just as much as it kept me going too, and with all the kind words it was meant a huge amount to me...
All the very best Davie..
Hi Davie, can I ask a question about wax.. I bought Veniard wax, when it
arrived I didn’t realize or expect it to be rock hard ?
I thought maybe I have to heat it up to soften it, but surely it will go hard
again as it cools.. can you advise please !
Thank you.. love your videos where would we be without them. !
Hi kingdom777866,
I get asked a lot about the wax I use so I made a video on how I prepare and use it so I have attached a link to it for you to see...I would recommend though to just do a piece at a time and keep the main piece in a sealed bag so that it keeps in good condition as it can go dry...I'm glad you enjoy the videos and thank you for kind words..ruclips.net/video/IN4N92G14Xg/видео.html
All the very best Davie..
👍👍👍
Hi Davie - thanks for another great pattern. When buying Coq-de-Leon what would be the best colour option to go for? Thanks a lot, Rich
Hi Rich Jackson,
I would say the light pardo would be the one that I have used mostly though I like all the colours, I have attached a link to some for you to see....I'm glad you liked the fly.
All the very best Davie

@@DavieMcPhail Thanks so much - light pardo ordered!
Whats difference does the squirel dubbin do in comparison to lets say seals fur?
Hi Ronan,
The squirrel dubbing is shorter and finer as well as natural markings though seals fur it more translucent which also makes a great fly too as you know..
All the very best Davie
@@DavieMcPhail Indeed I do. I've used both but I get the impression some people use rabbit and Hare more for dries and seal for wets. I was wondering if there was any truth in this or whether you had a similar preference?
new scissors Davie? what make are they, might help make my flies look like yours...
Hi Steve,
I'm using the new Fulling Mill 4 inch razor scissor which are really nice and as well good quality, I have attached a link to them for you to see..www.fullingmill.co.uk/Products-UK/Fly-Fishing-Kit-UK/Fulling-Mill-Razor-Scissors-UK

Hi David is this a good fly to tie as your first fly.
Last week I caught my first sea trout on the flyrod and I used a Tan Frede fly (store bought though). So which of your fly would you recomend of your flies?
Hi Mads Bachmann,
I have attached a link to a Humongous which I would recommend and is in a style similar to the Frede fly, it's a great allround fly and can be tyed in most sizes..
All the very best Davie..

Hi Davie, do you have a pattern for corixa. Many Thanks Rowland
Hi Rowland,
I have attached a link to a Corixa pattern I have on RUclips that is a good pattern. I would also have to recommend a basic pheasant tail nymph too, it can be just as good as long as you fish it with small jerks like a corixa does when swimming and the fish will take it just the same.ruclips.net/video/F8jtgoR1uCg/видео.html
All the very best Davie
What floatant do you use davie
Why do they call em Olives? Just one o them mumbling s or???
Hi let me show you something,
It's just a term used to say that's there's a hatch of olives or small mayflies then if it's this time of year they would be an Autumn Dun which I have attached a link to for you to see.www.first-nature.com/insects/e-ecdyonurus-dispar.php
All the very best Davie
Very buggy.
