Wow Davie. You knocked this one out of the park. One of my all time favourite fly patterns. Thanks!
Once again, you've shown me a few useful construction techniques which will improve my fishing flies. Thank you for the time and effort you put into these videos. I am grateful for your effort. Thank you... (gorgeous fly, by the way)
Davie, thanks....my issue was that I didn't know what type of feathers are good for Spey flies. Now I know. I did a search myself and found some more. Anyway, I'm always learning something new. Keep up the great work!
Pure class Davie. Exquisite colour combination .
Cheers
Dave
I've heard from old timers growing up that Syd would tie flies for kids in class and was a great teacher. lucky kids . amazing how smooth you did that. when I perfect tying traditional , that's all I'm going to fish until my heart stops. thanks for these videos Davie!
Beautiful as always. Have a wonderful holiday season!
Davie... You once said that you had thought about publishing a book. Please. I think that it would be amazing. It is so difficult to remember the step by step instructions from your videos. It would be so helpful to myself and so many of my '' brothers '' in Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing. Thank you for your wonderful videos.
Outstanding as always Davie!
Nice fly for me to begin tying Salmon Flies,i use your tutorials for Trout flies often and find them easy to follow,
Thank you.
Davie, absolutely beautifully tied. Thanks! 👍😎🍺
Thank you for showing/teaching us so much about thing flies. There are so very many things to learn. I have written before and mentioned that I am still new to fly tying/fishing. The spey flies for salmon and steelhead are beautiful. I was wondering if trout would be attracted to a smaller version. If so, perhaps you could demonstrate in one of your videos. I am a disabled veteran and cannot do the thing that I once could. But I can sit and tie, and I can stand in a stream and fish. These activities have brought me, and many fellow veterans much pleasure, thanks to Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing. And your videos have inspired me to continue. Thank you so much.
VERY flamboyant pattern, excellent tie…LOVE this one on every level…two thumbs WAY WAY up !! L 👍🎣👍
Stunning Davie!!
Greetings from the PNW! Great as always Davie
Beautiful pattern think I'm inspired and would love to give fly tying a go
Great pattern Davie thx for sharing
A great streamer!!! This bait is not difficult to repeat, thank you.
Tied a couple of those for this season. A great alternative to the whole tube-fly-flash hype nowadays. Mine will be trying to catch some early salmon in river Orkla 1 june 👍
Great tuition.. Cheers from Denmark
Thank you Davie
Thats gorgeous Dave. I learned and tied flies in Melrose Anglers choice. Sadly Ted is no longer with us.
Excellent fly. 😀
Nice Salmon Spey Fly, FYI Sid Glasso tied his wings standing on edge it adds more movement
awesome Davie..arigatou gozaimasu!! ;))
Viking fly company has lots of original salmon steelhead pats that r not on market yet but will be out for next season
Perfect Davie
I could swing this all day! Beautiful!
Beautiful fly there mate. Just wondering if it would look good on a double low water hook. Say a size 5or 3? Thanks for sharing my friend. Best Regards Ken
Hi Ken,
I've tyed them down to a size 8 but never on a double though I'm sure they would easily fish well on a double..I'm glad you like it and thanks again for the kind words....
All the very best Davie
In French we say bravo = good work, PERFECT .
Great and easy fly. Gonna have to try that sucker. QUESTION if I don't have the orange whats another good color. Like I have green, yellow with black stripes. What other color in your opinion works well?
Hi rebels yell,
Any of the colours you mentioned would be good enough to use on this style of fly as well as brown, red, blue and purple but it's also worth using two colours together..It is a great fly to tye...
All the very best Davie..
@@DavieMcPhail hi davie, im sorry I think my account was hacked bc I never replied..but I loved the video. but thank you for your input. I really like that fly you tied! Mite have to try it. Thanks
@@DavieMcPhail I did reply once about the great work you did but its showing me saying some guy did better with other colors or something so I apologize for that. Either way great work
Master!
hey dave, which kind of wax are u using sticking on your finger? is it bee wax?
best regards
Hi Raptorz Fishing,
I use Veniards Prepared Fly Tyers wax which is very similar to the cobblers wax as it does much the same, protecting the thread as well as giving it more strength and grip..I have attached a link to a video I made about it and how I use it on the side of my finger..

All the very best Davie
What knot were you referring to? Love that fly!
Hi TheDmburnham,
It's a Turle Knot, I have attached a video for you to see how it's tied..
All the very best Davie

been tying my own for a bit now scandi style got some tasty stuff not for sale or reperduction and I got it all frome watching davie and stuart tripinay and I don't by frome tackle shops that's material I mean
wauuw, fantastic
I love the fly. If you don't mind me asking, where do yo get your blue eared pheasant? Being in America, exotic birds like the pheasant are hard to come by.
Hi Eric,
I bought the feathers I had from America when I was over around 2003 from a small shop in Pawling NW..I have attached a link to a website that sells them for you to see in your country..

All the very best Davie
Davie McPhail thank you Davie
Eric and Davie, hi. First Davie, this is another of your great, high quality, and very instructive videos -- thank you. I live in Washington (state), and am familiar with spey fly tying and the difficulty of getting good B.E. pheasant feathers. While there is nothing wrong with the CaddisFly shop and their supplies, I've found that for BE and for other "exotic" feathers, a shop in Port Angeles, WA - Waters West has always had very high quality material. Their net address is waterswest.com. If you live in the area, or are coming to the Olympic Peninsula (say for winter steelhead) I'd stop by the shop; their feather and full skin merchandise are truly incredible to see, and the staff is great as well.
I don't have any affiliation with either shop. Davie thanks for all of your hard work.
Davie. What type of fly tying vise it that?
Hi River Freak,
I have made a video of the vise that I use so I have attached a link for you to see...
All the very best Davie...

You were very meticulous with this fly.I like to tie the rear hackle in butt 1st, to create a prawn shape. Spey/General Practioner types.
Anyone any idea where Davie bought the grade 2 genetic hen for the wings?
Morning Barry,
A Whiting or Metz hen neck grade 2 or even less would be ok, I look for the white ones as I prefer to dye them myself and as well they are easier to find than dyed hot orange...I did a search for you and found these capes which look ok but I have to be honest I prefer to look at them before I buy if I can but they are a good price and worth a go..

I hope this is of some help to you...
All the very best Davie..
Davie, I'm having a tough time finding decent feathers for Spey tying. Any ideas? Thanks, Robbie
Hi Robbie,
Here is a link to some Blue Eared Pheasant I found when I did a quick search...www.caddisflyshop.com/blue-eared-pheasant-feathers.html
All the very best Davie
Davie McPhail Thanks!
The blue eared pheasant feathers from Caddis Fly Shop are very nice - I ordered them a week or so ago.
Great, thanks!
Hi Davie:
I could not see the full card for Whiting Hen. Can you confirm if this is Whiting Red Label Hen "Saddle" or "Cape". Thanks.

Hi Enzo,
I have attached a link to the hen cape I would use for this fly..
All the very best Davie
Many thanks Davie. Beautiful fly and great tutorial as always.
All I know how to tie so far are Woolly Buggers.
Hi gruff madness,
The Woolly Bugger is an excellent fly, when I started tying I would only tye the flies that I knew fished on my local waters so these are the flies I would recommend you learn to tye first..Fly tying is a great step to help you catch more fish and you'll enjoy it even more...
All the very best Davie
Is this fly patented or copyrighted?
Hi Cowboy Aadyn's,
No it's an old pattern and has been around for many years....ATB Davie..
A great streamer!!! This bait is not difficult to repeat, thank you.
