Callum greetings from America, stay with it and be an inspiration to someone else ,,sure wish I had started at 12
fullstrutn thank you, I'm still at it, I'm 14 now and just caught my first salmon a few months back so progress is being made 👍
Have you kept tying? I started in high school and then stopped for a bit (wish I hadn’t though)
You would be 19 now!! How are you making out? Have you kept up with it? I hope so! The sport needs more young people learning the
The Craft.
That is a great looking fly there Davie! WOW!!
You are truly a master. I absolutely love to watch you tie. God bless, my friend.
Best mayfly nymph I’ve ever seen 💯👍
Your an artist Davie.
Wonderfully detailed nymph, not too difficult a tie. Beautiful as usual, Davie. Thanks for sharing a great pattern. Wish my eye were as creative as yours. Can't have everything I guess. All the best to you and yours. God Bless. It's the birthday of the U.S.A. tonight. I didn't think anyone would post, glad you did. Always love to see what's coming off your vise next. Sean
Davie, you have the patience of a saint! Thank you for another gem. Best regards.......Kevin.
My ideal nymph . Thank you Davie.
That is a terrific looking tie, Davie. The hook point riding upward also makes it a winner in my book.
Superb fly tying
Another perfect representation of the "art of fly tying",your the best ive ever seen!! keep them coming Davie
Work of art. Explained very well as you go also
Thanks Davie. A real pleasure to watch.

Hi Davie,
I found out today that your videos are fantastic for calming my 3 week old daughter go to sleep when she becomes unsettled. Great for me as I love your videos anyway and now my wife can't moan at me for spending hours watching you tying as I have the "it's to settle her" excuse lol. Thank you 😉
Kind regards
Sean
Ohio steelhead Davie ? You can bet your pants I'll be giving it a try! Your amazing buddy. Think's for another reason to watch your videos. God's speed best regards from Ohio.

Thank you for your reply. We ( my wife & I ) have enjoyed the videos & have learnt a lot from them. We were successful in fooling many fish with the Rhycophila,Edgebright & Pheasant Tail & Organza Pheasant Tail 😊
Very nice!

OMG I could only dream of tyeing this out of my league davie. I'll have to stick to the simple one's lovely as always. 🐟
Another belter buddy.
Gees Davie - thank you - Ill be at this one w while :)
Hi +Teddy Cahil,
I use a Law Vise which was made by a gentleman called Lawrence Waldron but unfortunately he no longer makes them...
All the very best Davie
Terrific fly and technique. This is basically a Hexagenia or Burrower? I don't believe these are very well represented on youtube or even in flyshops in the States so I really appreciate the instruction.
Hi Davie
Would Hares ear dubbing be an ok substitute for SLF
watched every move; excellent fly tying. the tying thread you use here seems very thin, what is it?
Hi hunt4fish,
I used Uni-8/0 Light Cahill and I'm glad you enjoyed the video...
All the very best Davie
Dear Davie,
Very ingenious design to get the bug to travel upside down. I believe this could alleviate some of the frustrations of getting hung up on the bottom. And having to check your flies every few casts for muck on the hook .
My question is. What are your thoughts on bead headed jig hooks for nymphs. I noticed you haven't tied any. And also haven't tied many bead heads in general. I know you are in UK and you guys have strong ideals. it considered not pure to use bead heads or jigs?
Kind regards from Lappland.
Colbee
Hi Colbee,
I'm glad you liked the mayfly nymph...I do fish with bead headed flies but as you said I don't have many videos on youtube showing how to tye them which I should have as they are fished a lot here in the UK especially for Grayling..I have fished and tyed a few flies using the jig hooks but I've ran out at the moment..
All the very best Davie
Здравствуйте 👍 сегментацию делаете каким номером лески подскажите пожалуйста?
Hi!
4. Back, Mottled NYMPH Skin & 7. Thorax Cover, Mottled NYMPH Skin - maybe Mottled THIN Skin (Wapsi)?
The material in the video is very thin than Nymphskin.
Hi Flugefisker,
I have attached a link to the nymph skin that I used....
All the very best Davie...

***** ok, thx!
Does the wax last you long would tie get a lot flys from 1
Hi +patrick mc carthy,
I would say that if you were tying flies just for yourself a piece of wax would last you for many years....
All the very best Davie
I wonder whitc animal those long CDC feather come from. The other day I fund a dead svane, and I was looking foreward too all the CDC I would get for that big bird, and it was very short, and maybe 12 feathers
Hi Line Jensen,
They come from white domestic duck and there's not many on these birds as well...
All the very best Davie...
Hi Davie, what type of vise do you have?
Davie where can i buy really good quality CDC? All the cdc products ive bought have been rubbish 🙁 its always too small when it comes and struggle to get 2 turns around a body on a fly? Price is not an option will pay anything for quality cdc😀 thanks in advance
Hi memmnock,
I am always looking for good CDC feathers and the best I have bought came from a gentleman in Ireland called Pat Nolan of Premier Angling as this is where I got the cdc I used it the video. He can be hard to contact as he does have a Facebook page as this is the best way...Another good source and who I have got some excellent natural grey CDC this year was form a gentleman called David Jedlicka but again he can only be contacted through Facebook..I wish I could be of more help to you..
All the very best Davie..
Davie McPhail many thanks davie
where do you get the lead tape?
Hi Mark Zebley,
It can be quite hard to find and as well it's not cheap but I uploaded a video of how to make your own flat lead using lead wire and a seam roller...I've attached a link to the video for you to see...

All the very best Davie
+Davie McPhail I found some on ebay, I believe it is used to weight/balance golf clubs, tennis rackets, and the like. It is expensive, though. If you look around, you may find 1/4" width; even that seemed too wide, so I split it lengthwise with a pair of old scissors (don't use Your best). Great video!
Beautiful, it's crazy what we can make 👌 🪶 🪰
