All your flys are so greats, brown march is a insect shurly of the month of march. The beginning of the fishing after the winter ( very interesting....)
The salmon in Gaspe rivers especially the Dartmouth river , as it is a smaller sized river, low level is par for the course. but here what works is small double hook best I use is size 10. they strike it readily if they are taking and you usually catch them on the tongue . witch assures they are destined for the dinner plate. . providing the leader is appropriate .tight lines fellas
A good friend of mine used to use that fly, with great success, on the Ax (Applecross) river. Unfortunately there are no sea trout or salmon there anymore. Nice fly, beautifully tied as normal!
With all of the greatest respect, your work is nothing less then accurate and beautiful! Could you do more Tube Flies I'm wondering??? Thank you for what you do! Cheers from Maine.
haha Davie.....you're just to fussy...excellently tied as per usual. The odd rouge fibre is no problem I reckon..Always look forward to your clips thank you very much.
First class Davie. The mallard wing with the soft partridge hackle looks fantastic. I’m going to try using superglue & varnish myself with some patterns for heads
Good morning Davie, They are very nice low water salmon flies. My question is: I see that you use hook size 3 with this fly. For other flies you use a smaller hook size for example 6. What is the best "standard" hook size for binding Low water salmon flie
Beauty Davie. I am primarily a small creek trout fisher, hence salmon query below. By “low water” do you mean this salmon fly rides “high” in surface film given limited mass/weight? Conversely, the sparseness of materials will provide less surface area resulting faster sink rate “low” water column. Please confirm how Salmon Fly Fisher’s define “low water” pattern. Thanks!! ATB
Hi Larry, I have attached a link to a gentleman that was behind and renowned for the development of the low water style flies which you may find interesting...This type of fly is still very poplar with friends of mine and this is the reason why I still tye many of them today.. All the very best Davie.. www.cairnton.co.uk/history.php
MforMarley Thanks to you both for education on Salmon Fly nomenclature. I see now it is more about the condition of stream taken to the vise for a subtle/sparse presentation.
Davie, I understand downsizing flies and using lighter tippets during low/clear water conditions, but why not downsize the hook to a wide gap/heavy wet fly type hook (or a short shank streamer hook) as well? It seems that there is an awful lot of bare shank there. Does it have an advantage in hooking short-striking fish or something? Or is it strictly tradition?
Hi handcannon, I'm more likely to tye on a smaller hook rather than this style but I do have a few friends that love fishing these flies and one or two that love to collect them tyed in this traditional style...I have attached a link to the gentleman that is renowned for coming up with this style of flies for you to see.. www.cairnton.co.uk/history.php All the very best Davie...
@@DavieMcPhail I read the article you linked and wandered about the website afterward. It is really something that Mr. Wood's engineered paradise is still an operating fish camp. Are there a lot of waters in your area that are club-owned or controlled? It seems nice that access to a prime area would apparently be limited to one angler at a time, and you would rotate through the prime areas in an orderly fashion. Here in the U.S. it is "first-come, first-served" and the good spots often feature an unskilled mob of anglers all trying to fish at once.
Hi Harald Carlen, I'm glad you liked this tying of the March Brown it is a lovely fly as well as a good fishing fly..The whip finishing tool that I used is called a Matarelli but unfortunately they are not made anymore though you can find a copy which will work just fine... All the very best Davie..
Low water flies are such things of waste of time - those f..eing low water hooks and dressings cold not hold any so called low water hooks. NOW A DAYS WE FIGHT OUR SALMON HARD AND FAST AND A TROPHY SHOOT MAY OR NOT HAPPENS.
its about fly tying and nothing else ,so go away just as fast as you fight your salmon ,and get a doctor for your ADHD PROBLEM ,dont think you own a flyrod F.....Troll

Beautiful looking fly Davie. Very well tied and explained. Many thanks for sharing.

Another Great program Davie! Thank You!!
Another great tie! Those alternate patterns you had on the foam look great as well!
Very technical and very beautiful. Thank you for taking the time to do the video
Thank you Davie! Really enjoyed that! I love to watch you tie - you have such incredible control of your thread and materials! ATB! Hank
Another awesome tie. Great example of mounting bronze mallard wing. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Mike and I'm glad you liked the fly and the way I winged the fly...
All the very best Davie...
I did enjoy it, Davie... thank you.
Happy New Year to you, Davie...
Mike

Mesteri kivitelezés, tetszetős stílus, szóval ez is nagyszerűen sikerült. Gratulálok, David! Happy New Year from Hungary!
Happy New Year Janos Huszar and thank you for the kind words...
All the very best Davie...
I've been waiting for a new one, and like always I was not disappointed. Amazing, thanks for sharing!
Beautifully done! Amazing!
With all of the greatest respect, your work is nothing less then accurate and beautiful! Could you do more Tube Flies I'm wondering??? Thank you for what you do! Cheers from Maine.
Nice Fly , I like the combo of materials . Have a great New Year
Very nice Davie! But what is the purpose of leaving so much of the hook exposed? And can you tie the Glen Grant spey fly for us next??
haha Davie.....you're just to fussy...excellently tied as per usual. The odd rouge fibre is no problem I reckon..Always look forward to your clips thank you very much.
From Toay, La Pampa, Argentina, happy new year Master Davie!!
Happy New Year birrapampa and all the very best for 2019...
Davie..
thanks again Davie, I might tie this smaller for trout
First class Davie. The mallard wing with the soft partridge hackle looks fantastic. I’m going to try using superglue & varnish myself with some patterns for heads
Ajajaj, so nice! Al the best Davie in New Year! Greetings from Poland!

A little gem of a fly.
You know I don’t have any use for salmon flies Davie but this is a top notch fly dude. Very nice. Thank you.

I might add that a "low water" pattern is a smaller, more sparse pattern...generally designed with not spooking a fish in lower/clearer water
MforMarley Thanks to you both for education on Salmon Fly nomenclature. I see now it is more about the condition of stream taken to the vise for a subtle/sparse presentation.
Davie what type of wax are you using and where my I purchase it please .?
Прекрасно ! У меня еще не получаются такие мушки (
Супер получилось.

Hi, the MB is a great fly in Norway, and this is a nice, simple variation. What is that tool you're using?

Davie McPhail ok, the tool I mean is the thing you use to polish the tag. I ve listened a few times, but I just don t hear what you say.
Sorry Harald,
It's a called an agate burnishing tool which I bought off Ebay...ATB Davie..
Davie McPhail yes, I got the info from my son who s spent 3 years in Aberdeen.
