Hi RikkHD,
I have been tying since February 1983 and I still enjoy tying now just as I did when I first started, thank you for the kind words...
All the very best Davie
merry christmas from minden NV USA davie. i watch all your videos. they inspire me to tye cause you simplify and otherwise daunting pattern. god bless you for doing that!. my neighbor is from scotland. listening to her has helped me understand your dialog better. you guys have a lovely accent to us on this side of the pond.
I recently found your channel, it's great! I'd love to see more Spey flies since I am trying to learn how to tie these (well!!!). Thank you. Jim Rice
Mr. Rice, I too am learning how to tie these beautiful flies. I found that if I search "Davie Mcphail" on youtube that a large selection of videos on spey flies pop up. I have probably watched a dozen in the last week. Just a thought.
@@liljohnwhitetiger Thank you Craig! I've seen most of them, but I welcome more!
Hi Davie, just wanted to let you know I have been watching many of your videos, and I am a pure beginner in the art of fly tying. At first I wasn't sure what kind of flies I wanted to tie, or just exactly how difficult it could really be to perfect this art. I've spent a lot of hours consumed with learning as much about materials, techniques, and flies as I possibly can. Your videos, and videos of others, have been a huge part of my beginner learning experience. I've been trying over and over again to tie the Nagli Spey as perfectly as you've done it here in this video. I can honestly say I've learned a ton just from watching this particular video over and over again. So much was learned from watching how you tapered the head just perfectly, and left just enough room for the feathers, then there is the important little details of how you tied the feathers in, then of course the skillful placement of those jungle cock eyes, truly masterful how you got them to set perfectly. Then the way you were able to get all those materials on there, and still see the beautiful body of the fly. Even watching you tie the body of the fly held valuable lessons on how much space to leave yourself. I am really deep into this video, and it's definitely amongst some of the nicer fly designs out there. I'm amazed at how you keep the feathers from getting tangled in the head before you secure them. I always find my thread slipping off too when I go for the whip finish, it's like my head tapers too steeply and the thread just slips off. Anyway, I could comment a whole lot more, but I've got a huge enough paragraph here already. Thanks for the great videos, I really appreciate it!
Hi LexSterV,
Getting the proportions of your fly right will always help you make a better fly but there are many reasons that will throw you off as you're working with natural materials which are not always exactly the same even though it comes from the same bird or animal so you have to know when to tye off your hackle and how much hair to use to form your wing...I'm sure you will tye a lovely fly as by the sounds of it you have put your heart in to it as well as enjoying tying your flies...
A hugh thank you for the very kind words...
All the very best Davie
Thanks for sharing! Beautiful fly!
Beautiful fly as is your usual. I didn't have enough characters in the last posting to finish saying what I wanted to say. I love the fly and am going to try it on a single hook as I don't have any doubles. I hope to be as clean a tyer as you are someday. Since I learned to tie from your videos, I have good habits which will make me the best tyer I can be. Thanks, Sean
Excellent tying, I'm just happy, happy, happy, a genius at work, happy wrappings, Davey, Antrim.
How great it is to learn more skills from a master! I love your tying and am delighted to watch your brilliant videos. David, Hertfordshire
Another cracking video Davie. You make it look so easy! Beautiful fly and one I'll look forward to trying myself.
Cheers
Craig
I know they have been fishing a variant of this in the Gaula river in Norway with great success, so it's very nice to to see this pattern on RUclips. :-)
I also think this fly would look great with green or orange colour patterns.
Hi Davie,tied this one on a single hook the other day . took it to one of our local lakes here on Vancouver Island and the rain bows went wild over it. keep up the great work on the videos . Daryl
Great news Daryl, I`m heading for Skeena in the fall 2018 for steelies (hopefully) and will give these a swing.
Stunning fly
Hi David Hall,
These feathers have worked their way into a few pattern from streamers to brown trout. I would say it's up to you what you feel will work on the pattern you are tying, I'm sure you should find some patterns if you do a search on the internet..
All the very best Davie
Your videos are so soothing :P
And your flies are pure art!
thanks, i was once looking for it to use in a shrimp pattern for Sea Bass and Trout. I think the Original recepy used Heron spey Hackle, i never found that tough. i used some duck feathers as substitute. greets from Holland.
Great fly great work. I was wondering would you do a tutorial on reversing your thread when tying double wings please.
The 'Canadian Tube Fly Company' are still selling legal heron spey hackles online and they ship to the UK at very good postage rates - I have used the Medium size hackles in various colours and they are great quality.
Regards,
Gerry.
thats a nice hook can see that over taken the salars, a shame mustad never kept up the the DUBLN hooks. stunning fly as always mate, have saw white eared pheasant feathers for sale but never knew if any good will be getting some now. Cheers mate love the colours of this fly
Always take time out on my day off to rewatch your demonstrations Davie, I would like to ask as to where you get your white eared pheasant hackles from? Many thanks Mike 👍
Hi dongil123,
I was lucky to get a hold of a full skin from a friend when I was working for a fly tying company a few years ago but the last one I bought off Ebay for £140 was a great price..I have attached a link to some pheasants that are on there at the moment, just keep checking as they do come up from time to time.www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=taxidermy+birds+pheasant&_sacat=0&_odkw=taxidermy+birds+white+eared+pheasant&_osacat=0
All the very best Davie
Hi Martyn,
I use a Sony PD170 P camcorder to film the videos then I author them through windows movie maker...I'm glad you like the videos...
All the very best Davie
very nice tying!
nice one davie norman
Thanks Davie
Mr. McPhail, I am curious about how a fly is defined as a "spey fly". Is this related to way in which the fly is dressed? For instance the red devil spey fly uses long flowing pheasant rump palmered on the front half of the body, while this fly the Nagli spey does not. Is a spey fly now a term used in a broader sense for any wet fly with a long flowing hackle? I see marabou spey flies, but to me these flies do not have the grace and beauty of the traditional patterns. I am just looking for your perspective on this Sir. Thank you for your time. Please keep these wonderful videos coming I learn a great deal from observing your tying techniques on the more classic patterns.
Hi Craig,
It is a term many used for a style just as you said when using certain spey like hackles like the one I used in the Nagli..I have attached a link to a website that I would recommend for you to have a look at, it would be worthwhile getting a copy of Autumn in the Spey by A.E. Knox if you are really interested in these flies..I hope this is of some help to you and thank you for your kind words..
All the very best Davie..

@@DavieMcPhail Thank you Sir. Through careful and repeated observation of your tying technique I was finally able to successfully set my first set of bronze mallard wings on a spey fly. Watching the subtle details of your tying technique finally allowed everything to click for me. I've been attempting to learn this tying skill on and off for the last 2 years. Thank you so much.
Superb!!
another great video Davie. Quick Question Are you filming on a webcam? I've been thinking about adding some new videos to my channel but not sure what to record on. ATB Martyn
hi David,
Firstly I would like to say that we all appreciate your videos a lot. You have very nice and neat style of tying flies. I would like to ask one question. Which spey feathers do you use, I have checked what is available on the market and it seems that the price between hen and rooster spey capes differs a lot. I was just wandering what you would suggest. Thanks in advance for your answer and thanks for what you do!
Great looking fly. One of my favorite videos to watch you tie. Does this pattern have to be tied to a double hook to work properly or could it work on a single?
Good morning Davie. Many thanks for all the great video lessons. One question not directly related to this video of you don't mind. I have recently bought a jungle chick cape to use on my tying over the winter and was wondering what I could use the other feathers for. Could they be used as trout dry or wet fly hackles for instance. Be a shame to waste them
Hi Davie, beautiful fly well done. When in the season would you fish this fly for salmon? Could it be tied as a larger version a tube say for early season? Love to hear your thoughts. All the best, FFA.
Amazing
Hey Davie! :) u are so talented fly tyer:D How many years have you tied flies?
Where, online, would I find a white-eared pheasant saddle, or cape, or even a whole skin?
Great looking spey Davie. Can you use a black double or change the colour of the hackle?
Best Regards, Ken
Hi davie great fly. 2 questions . What would be the top 5 flies for next season and what is the website where you get all of your materials?
Davie, great job. Why is it that none of the tiers who use a LAW use the rotary feature in tying? Particularly in spiraling ribbing. Thanks, Byron
Hey Davie, I have some spey hackle from a peacock, I hope that will do. I bought some fur scraps from a furrier, and I got some skunk! Beautiful fur, but I am not sure what I could use it for. Never saw "Skunk" in a recipe. Anyway, the black and white fur is just beautiful and shiny. I also got arctic fox, coyote, mink, otter, beaver, silver fox, chinchilla, and racoon. I bought it by the pound so it was only 10.00 USD per lb. Do you know how to dye the fur? What could I use the skunk for? ATB
OK Davie: Whit eared Pheasant Dyed Teal Blue and Kingfisher Blue are listed in this fly for Spey Hackle.
Can you give examples on the Internet on them ... as I understand it, similar Spey Hackle materials are also used in other flies, only natural or other colors?
The barbs of the feather are very long, that's why my question is.
Hi O S,
I have used both colours of blue on the fly and I am very happy to use a long Chinese cock or schlappen hackle to tye these flies..
All the very best Davie..
Hey Davie. What type of Super Glue are you using. I love your little brushes. Please let me know,
Thanks.
Hi davie I was wondering do you think the larger flies would work for largemouth bass because where i live there are not many trout or salmon.
have u tried this pattern for seatrout davie
Juat curious, have you ever had two fish on one hook?
Davie, what exactly is a spey hackle?
Davie where can I buy those blue feathers you use in this fly many thanks shane
Hi Shane,
I use dyed white eared pheasant which can be quite hard to find but I have found a link to a Spey Saddle which can be used instead, I hope this is of some help to you...
