Nice tie, Davie, something to try this afternoon! 😀
Sweet little dry fly davie like that wing material very much 😊
I’ve been watching and learning from you for years!!
Love the accent!!!
Good morning Davey. You really make tying tiny flies seem easy to do. All of the Fulling Mill materials look very nice and high quality. I’m looking forward to purchasing and using some different materials and giving them a go. Thanks for sharing your time and experience with us.
yes! this is the type of stuff we fish on the Upper Delaware! Thanks for posting
Finally got to hit the water and there was none. That said the trout had all day to look at these flies but they still took them. Only a very light size 18 BWO hatch and a 30 white ghost ( I didn't have with me) But the yarn did the trick. Your timing on the video was spot on. Thanks.
Another great looking fly thanks for sharing.
Thanks for another most helpful, instructional video. Giving advice on threads, hooks, etc, is much appreciated. Thanks, Davie.
Nice ties. I'll give it a shot this weekend. Finally.
Beautifully tied fly. Thanks Davie
Thanks 👍
When I was a teen in the 80s, with good eyes, I enjoyed tying size 20s. My old uncle tho, Willie Campbell, a lifetime Clyde fisher, he said waste of time, cos you wont land a fish on it. Thing is tho, back then a size 20 Mustad hook was much stronger than the expensive Partridge hooks.
If I stick a #20 in your lip, you would follow me around like a puppy! 😂😂😂
Stronger - and heavier.
@@richarde1355 Heavier for sure 👍. And a lot cheaper 😳
Beautiful work. I just love the new Fulling Mill materials. Fresh!!!
Glad you like them @dankochanek8056...ATB Davie..
Very nice Davie
Well done
Very effective little dry fly.
You should at the size 32 flies they use on the Elk River in West Virginia
I still never learned how to tie anything smaller than a 14. With my fat fingers and weak eyes. Already using 6x glasses for tying. And 2 good lights.
Haven’t seen this material yet in Montana looks pretty cool . The pattern is nice for a BWO and I’m sure will work great as an RS-2 variant . Thanks for sharing
It should be arriving to dealers any time now! And if you don't see it, make sure to ask 😀
I'm trying to think of something that will substitute it at the moment!
👍💪
Muy buen trabajo
Never tied a 20. I'll be trying this one
❤❤
Second video tonight featuring this new F.M. Material. Have to get some and give it a try. Thanks,
Hello Davie. Thx for your nice video!
I tie variations of this Patter for some years now. But mostly in bigger sizes. 14 and 16. My subtitute for the dry yarn you use is just some poly yarn in dun. In bigger sized flys i like to do the thorax with some cdc in a split thread for more lifelyness. Realy effective.
As a suggestion for a flybox for the monthly draw i would love to see your recomendation on a dry dropper box that includes sighter flys as well as nymphs.
Kind regards from Austria.
Christian
Great Idea Christian, Just keep me in mind as it would make a great box...ATB Davie..
@@DavieMcPhail Hello Davie.
May i ask you a question?
I made the experience that sometimes stiff fibers like hackle and deere hair are not soaked in by picky grayling very easy.
Do you have experienc with poly yarn? I am asking because in my home water we have no graylings at all, and in a few weeks i am heading to Bosnia where i expect picky grayling.
Kind regards Christian
Hi Davie, couple of really nice patterns for the smaller olives. Can you just clarify though for someone thinking of buying the material, your materials info says BROWN DUN, but you refer to it as BROWN/OLIVE DUN. Sometimes there can be quite a difference? thanks
Hi Peter,
It was Brown Dun that I used in the video, there is a brown olive as well and there is a a bit of difference so I'm glad you mentioned it..I'm glad you liked the flies as well..
All the very best Davie
Really enjoy your videos Davie, they're inspiring me to start tying flies again after a 20 year break! Could I ask you a really basic question? What wax do you use to wax your thread? Looks like you have a dab on your hand while tying - the stuff I used to use was a round yellow disk of wax that went rock hard!
Hi Mike,
I use the hard wax that you used many years ago as I soften it to get it to stick to the side of my finger, I made a video on the wax I use so I have attached a link to it for you to see.

I'm glad you enjoy the videos and I hope you do get back to tying flies again so good luck..
All the very best Davie
That's really helpful, thanks so much Davie!@@DavieMcPhail
Hey Davie, Do you have any tips or videos tying size 18, 20, and 22 dry emergers, and/or dries like this using deer hair? or some natural fiber wings? also do you sharpen your own scissors>? Thank you!
Hi @HalfInsaneOutdoorguy,
I do have quite a few patterns filmed and tyed like this on RUclips though they are all over the playlists, I have attached a link to them for you to look through...I may start a new playlist with just emerger patterns when I get a chance as I'm sure it would make sense to do this..

I have tried in the past to sharpen my scissors but I did a bad job, I have just bought a sharpening device and stones to do my own though I've not had a chance to give it a go so I will be trying it very soon..
All the very best Davie
Really nice fly Davie. Do you know stockists of materials in Glasgow? Thanks
Hi @shanksi105,
The Glasgow Angling centre do stock Fulling Mill hooks but I couldn't find the Ultra dry yarn but it would be worth asking them if they could get you some..I'm glad you liked the fly..
All the very best Davie
Hi Davie, how would you compare this new FM yarn to say TMC aero wing?
I tried the veniard para post but it didn’t seem to float so well. Have yet to find anything that matches the aero wing. Great video, thanks for sharing!
Hi Robert,
If you like the aero wing then you'll like the ultra dry wing as they float just as well though the ultra yarn is more open rather than straight, I've mixed them in some flies and they work really well...I will be working on a few more patterns for next season to see how they go as the ultra wing has many more colours than the aero wing..I'm glad you enjoyed the video..
All the very best Davie
@@DavieMcPhail thanks very much Davie. I bought a pack of ultra dry yarn at the weekend there to try and see how it goes. Good to know it’s right up there with aero wing 👍
How do you dress your fly to keep it floating after slimed by the first fish you catch? Thanks Davie!
Hi @ruebdogg1,
I just give the fly a wash and then I dry it on a patch of Amadou which keeps it in good order though after two or three fish I'll use my floatant on it to keep it up..I've attached a link to an Amadou patch for you to see..
All the very best Davie
How does this wing fiber compare to snowshoe hare? Seems similar, probably easier to work with as well.
Hi @TheSRob34,
I've not fished a lot with Snowshoe but when I did it floated and fished really well but so does this fibre once you use a floatant on it and it will last a few fish before you need to change it..If you can find some of the Ultra dry yarn give it a go as I'm sure you will like it as I've fished it most of the year and I do like it..
All the very best Davie
Hi Davie when fishing this do you havE to add floating to it
Hi William,
It's best to use a floatant on it as it will last for a while before you need to redo it though I also dry the fly as well using an Amadou patch which also helps..
All the very best Davie
Are you not using your Law vice now? Just curious
Hi Trevor,
I am still using it though you can only see the points of the jaws..
All the very best Davie
is a size 20 hook bigger now a days?????
Hi @arnesvendsen3741,
I would say it's more like a size 18 rather than a size 20 and this is common with many of the new hooks like you said..
All the very best Davie
Sarei anche capace di costruirle ma non trovo il materiale
Hi silvanotoni1318,
I have attached a link to the Ultra dry yarn..

its not letting me save
hi i tryd to look this up Zebco SFL 800 8' Two Piece SportsFisher Series Fly Rod its fiber glass i want to know the line wt best i got was 6 7 8 someone said being old and fiber glass its not like a carbin fiber like i got now witch is a 5/6 wt 9 foot back then line wt was not like it is now o the reel that came on it is a omni 33 smaller then on my new one ,1 aneyone know the line wt for that rod and do i need backing on it as small as the reel is .thanks i know theres a lot of ppl on hear that know a hell of a lot more then me thanks for the help
A quick online search showed several of that model for sale. All listed the rod as a 6/7 weight. You probably need backing. Those old reels had very small arbors. Wind on a line without backing to see how much empty space is left, or take it to a fly fishing shop. Most of them are very good at estimating backing amounts, and most won't charge you for winding backing onto the reel if you buy the backing and line from them.
thanks i am just going to get a cheep reel like on my new pole and use it the old one seems iffy 16$ not bad for a 5/6 reel@@richardwhite9682
🎉Thanks love all your video you do a great job more please .George the old man in Stoke 👍🎣🪰
Thanks 👍
