@DavieMcPhail It is pleasure to watch your tying. Even I have tyed flies allmost 20 years I have got many new trick while watching your fly tying. Thanks for posting these videos Davie...
Davy, it amazes me all the time how you simply and easily knit flies. This is just art. We have expensive flies in Ukraine, custom-made flies are even more expensive, so I'm trying to study, but we have few or no materials on sale. I wish you success in your work. Like from me.
davie.i have learned more from your videos, than anyone else. but iam struggling to buy descent hackles, out of work at moment and kids are fleecing me. just seen you tie caddis fly ,looks amazing. thanks mick.
Having just watched Oliver Edwards tying a Mohican Mayfly for a half hour over 5 videos on here, (not his post, pirated!), and i did learn a lot from it, so refreshing to see your mayfly tying once again! Thank you Davie!
Thanks Davie, My seals fur is much better mixed. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. I know you are a busy man. Remember to see if you can tie a pattern for the grasshopper if you have the inclination and the time. All the best, Sean
Hi Davie, Great pattern. Our mayfly are pretty small and very thin. I am having trouble tying this with 1.3mm dia foam cylinder. I think I need a finer needle. I have difficulty getting the hairs tyed in as the foam slips roud the needle. Also the thread sgemented tyes end up loose when I have taken the needle out. Can you give me any pointers? Thanks John
Hi John, A finer needle will help to make a smaller fly in this style but you can only go so far, remember to pull the threads after you have removed the body from the needle as this will tighten up the thread turns or you may have to use a finer thread for the small bodies as well...Let me know how you get on.. All the very best Davie...
Hi Davie, This is a really great fly, I'm going to tie it myself. One small suggestion though, from a novice to a master (wink). I think it looked better with just the top coloured and the under-side yellow. It seems to me that, like baitfish, lot of mayflies are actually lighter underneath.
Nice fly but I am amused how many on Utube misname that"extended " body a "detached" body. Detached bodies are those such as you would make for a "wiggle" nymph. This separately made extended is certainly "attached" not detached to the main hook and not aeye/shank only of another hook and tied on with a piece of mono. Otherwise great tie.

What is that yellow material that you use for the body? And where can i buy it from?
Thanks in advance
ps: your flies look great as always...
" Magnifique montage "!!
another great vid , do u have a pattern for the bobs bits ?
Slate Drake, Brown Drake Green and golden Drake this does them all. Best all around fly I have ever used.
Thank you Davie!
Wish you a happy New Year!
Yours,
Kostis
Класс! 👍🤝🇰🇿
Davie,
I keep my waste thread long enough to whip finish the waste in front of the fly. Is this over kill and a waste of time.
Lovely tying davie
Nice Job With your videos. I like
could it be made in a size 10?
Please give the hook # and brand. Makes it easier to follow, you talk about gape but for me it's better to have all the info.
ps: I found & ordered it :D
Thanks again! :D

Sweet fly
I guess you don’t need the tail fibers coming straight out of the body!!! Tight lines🐜🐛🕷️!!!!!
looks like that would catch some fish.
you have some very good videos , ever thought about teaching a class on tying flies.
Davie I find seals fur difficult to dub is there a trick I don't know?
All the best, Sean
