Hi Davie, thanks again, and again for a great video. Once again we learn something new! Over here in the Anglers Eldorado, I often get my fly tying materials from “Road Kill”. I use to use Possum tail guard hairs for wet flies and wonder if that was wrong approach. You did mention that Possum hair is buoyant and therefore make the wet fly drunk in its movement? I have seen in USA blogs the comments that how hard it is these days to obtain Possum skins, if they only knew of the millions of those critters destroying our forests and spreading TB. Anyway, your comment on the different types of Possum hair and its uses in fly construction would be much appreciated. Cheers mate. Harera
Good to see you use the possum fur and dubbing for dry flies, including the very effective Dynamite Harry style. Hope to see you use them soon on one of your fly fishing treks. Very kind of your fly tying friends to give you the possum items. Thank you for sharing the video with us.
a year ago I bought a small chunk of possum fur on the hide just because I thought it was rather exotic hah. I'm going to tie up a couple flies with it and see how it goes! TY Davie!
Great video Davie, I now know what to tie up with the Possum skin I have rather than just using as dubbing. I also have Opossum pelt (2 different animals, possum Australian, Opossum American) which I haven't used!! Possum being more crinkle/rough hair compared to the smoother and glossier Opossum.
Good stuff it also makes great tails for Mrs Simpson and hàmills flies many more hear in NZ we get a black Possum they get run over on the road every few k s not to bright them ausse imports ha ha
Tasmania thank your two friends for the possum to Davie who is amazing with tying every material. Davie to all three possum tyers a big thank you all .
Good Morning Davie from across The Pond. I just found out Our "Community' has lost another ICON. I don't know if You or Your Followers have heard that Oliver Edwards has passed.On A Saturday April 22, 2023. Besides You one of My Favorites. I wondered what had happened to him. Another Great and informative Video as always Davie. Stay Well.
Hi Davie , sorry to be a pain , but can you possibly tell me what are , Arctic runners , and Fox squirrels , as I can find no info regarding such animals . (at least with my net skills . )cheers
Hi Keith, I have been told the Arctic runner is pony, goat or cow and as it comes from Iceland it's more likely to be pony/horse hair but I could be wrong..I have attached a link to the American fox squirrel below for you to see. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_squirrel All the very best Davie
@@DavieMcPhail Thanks Davie , it makes sense now lol , I wonder if the fox squirrel wasn’t originally called “ black squirrel “”, looks Like it possibly from the latin name , loving all your vids so keep up the great work , I have trying tying for about ???? ! Yrs and still struggle with dubbing , love all your tips and tricks . Thanks again ,Keith .
Hi Robin, I have attached a link to an Aero Wing emerger pattern which is close to the dynamite harry for you to see which I tyed a few years ago, it's a great pattern and certainly worth tying...The dynamite harry pattern works as an emerger as well as I feel this is why it keeps working when the flies are coming off as well as a dry.. ruclips.net/video/56EGOZeyQxU/видео.html All the very best Davie..
Hi Iain, I use a Law vice but I'm sorry to say it's no longer being made, I have attached a link to a video I made on it for you to see..Some do come up for sale from time to time but they do go for amazing prices now.ruclips.net/video/3P6MZIrpGG0/видео.html The style of scissor I personally like to use is the 4 inch razor, many companies sell them and again I have attached a link to a pair for you to see..I'm glad you enjoyed the video..www.protackleshop.co.uk/en5/loon-outdoors-loon-razor-scissor-4-inch/s/32055 All the very best Davie

Nice to see you enjoying our Tassie Possum Davie. Nice flies😃

Brilliant Davie 🎣🎣🎣
It's a fantastic material.
Lmao. As you say. A large part of why we tie. You’ve take Fran Betters to the extreme. Thanks that was real fun.
Great video Davie, I now know what to tie up with the Possum skin I have rather than just using as dubbing. I also have Opossum pelt (2 different animals, possum Australian, Opossum American) which I haven't used!! Possum being more crinkle/rough hair compared to the smoother and glossier Opossum.
Very creative, great looking flies thanks for sharing.
The colors are interesting, for sure! 😊 I might try this fly with silk thread, just because. Thanks, Davie!
Yes, it's a great material. Im in Sydney and use it a lot. Very soft and easy to work with. :-)
Cheers Davie! I finally have an idea of what to do with an American Opossum skin I have acquired! Much appreciated as always! :)
Awesome possum 👍
I believe that'll catch Thanks Davie
Dynamite Marsupial, go Davie go!!!
Good stuff it also makes great tails for Mrs Simpson and hàmills flies many more hear in NZ we get a black Possum they get run over on the road every few k s not to bright them ausse imports ha ha

Davie can I ask would dying the fur be the same as when dying the cdc and just give the skin a bit longer
Injoy this Dave thinks for show this
Davey, have you ever tied a dynamite harry emerger?
