Hi Davie, I’ve had this fly in my box for a few months now after seeing you tie this. I decided to fish it for the first time today. The water had a slight bit of colour close to the shore from the onshore wind and I felt the colours would work. I had 5 sea trout on the Clyde estuary today. Thanks a bunch for showing this, I’ll definitely be tying more with the shrimp style colours also. Tight lines if you get out and about👍

[@DavieMcPhail]

Well Done @PiscatorUK-Fishing....👍

[@davidwillacy4796]

Lovely fly Davie. Loved the tip on twisting the hackle to make it easier to tie off. Brill.

[@michaelday7305]

Thank you! Especially for the “twist trick” with the mallard at the end!

[@pjsmith3314]

I’m definitely going to try this fly out on our estuary Kahawai in New Zealand

[@dariuszpiatak8675]

As usual, it's a real pleasure to watch you tie a fly. You have inspired me to tie a garnela imitation for Baltic sea trout. The season is about to start in Poland. All the best Davie!

[@sonja9001]

I love to see your take on the traditional fly patterns. This one is so beautiful.

[@paulodonnell8094]

I loved that shop. Bought a hat and lots of flies out of it. Such a shame it’s gone. Thanks for bringing back all the memories

[@krallmi48]

Did enjoy it Davie... thank you. Really pretty fly.

Nice fly Davie, thanks for the video. For those who we’re asking I had audio.

[@johnwilson6779]

Beautiful fly,nice colours,looks great.

[@50Squirrel]

As you would say “it’s a great wee fly”. Great video as always Sir!

[@lasse1187]

Nice combo of colors and shape

[@AlexK-vy3tt]

Hi Davie,
Once I've tied a very similar flies for my friend who fished for salmon in the Ponoi river on Kola Peninsula. They works great.
Sincerely, Alexander

[@allanhughes945]

Excellent as usual davie 👌

[@captainflint89]

i caught my first ever salmon this season on the fly at low water end sept on our club spate burn, very similar to this pattern , something i had made for seatrout . it has a red floss short tag tail , pearl tinsel body wound like a medcine fly onto superglue on the shank , no rib , mallard hackle sparse one turn tied same as this and then one turn of golden pheasant rump hackle at the head, tied on an ahrex stinger size 8 and the claret head .. i now call it the "carradale killer "

[@Whitecloud706]

It would make a lovely salmon fly has all the right colours

[@ross1458]

I had to look up Rogan's. Wow what a history. Beautiful fly. Have you ever tried to tie "in hand". Keep telling myself I need to try for fun but never do. I think it would be hard to film but I'd like to see you give that a shot.

[@user-em1fb6xb2u]

Благодарю, Дэви! Классная мушка!👍🤝🇰🇿

[@howie8582]

It’s a great fly for lough salmon as well.

[@callumclark3358]

Some tiers strip one side of waterfowl feathers in the interest of neatness, but I think it looks all wrong. The way you do it is so neat, but also balanced and lively.

[@user-mb1hg4qu9f]

👍👍

[@samparry5906]

Lovely fly Davie. I’ve always tied something extremely similar that I’ve always known as the “Melvin Gosling.” Is there much difference in the patterns/ their origin?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Sam,
I've tyed a few of the Melvin Gosling over the years and they are very similar and this pattern tyed on size 10s fish really well on Melvin..I'm glad you liked it..
All the very best Davie

[@robhowardphotography6439]

Awesome ! What vice do you use ? Please.

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Rob,
I have made a video on the vice I use but unfortunately it's no longer being made.. I have attached a link to it for you to see..
All the very best Davie

[@petdetectiveiii997]

Unfortunately no silver mallard available for the front hackle, so any suggestions for a substitute? Gadwell or a teal flank feather, perhaps?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi @petdetectiveiii997,
Gadwell or Teal would be a good sub for the silver mallard or even Widgeon would be worth using..I did a quick search online and found some Mallard Flank so I have attached a link for you to see..

Is it just me, or is the audio missing?

No audio problem for me. Restarting the video might help.
