Best of the series, in my opinion at least. The use of ostrich as a tag is unusual but really sets the fly apart. I enjoy watching all your videos and your explanation of substitutions on old patterns are second to none. Thanks for sharing.
Man, you're the best in the world. Thank you so much for everything that you do.
Thanks again Davie
Hi Davie, The colour blends and materials throughout the Grey Ghost Bumble are so effective and really complement the other patterns in the TC Kingsmill Moore series. A truly wonderful set of old classic flies brought back to life. Best regards, Wayne 😀👍
Thanks Wayne for all the kind comments and I'm glad you like the Kingsmill patterns as they are a lovely set of flies to fish and to tye....
All the very best Davie
Nice tie there. These are the flies I’ll never fish as I just like to see them lined up in the box..
Lovely pattern davie tks 😊
Have been a fan of these flies for a long time brilliant to see how to tie them properly. Thank you so much Davie
Thanks Davie. Superb tying. Makes my efforts look like s***e 😊
Love these type of flies also I tried that trick of yours davie of rubbing your nose with the bobbin to stop it squeaking and it worked perfectly lol . I couldn’t believe it ? lol
Lovely tie as always Davie. The copy of Kingmills book (2nd edition) that I have gives the second hackle as black. Very interesting to see the variation in your book (I am assuming 1st edition?). The red/ golden olive hackle gives a totally different look to the fly & is a version that I have never seen before. Look forward to tying a few & giving them a swim.
Thanks Davie great lesson.
I forgot about this fly, i have some originals somewhere so now I'm on the hunt. Cheers Big Davie.
Класс! Отличная муха! Благодарю , Дэви! 👍🤝
Great bunch of Patterns Davie, thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you Davie Super nice work on this Bumble ...
Can see how that would work for salmon, great colours and pattern

That “West’s” hackle has me a bit stumped. Hugh Falkus listed the pattern as using a natural black hackle in tandem with the light dun. I used to have some natural black hen which had a lot of iridescence. Maybe there was a highly iridescent cock hackle available back in the day, but what is intended by the parti-coloured dyeing specification is a mystery to me.
I always had the impression that Kingsmill Moore took the details of colour and shade very seriously, in the tradition of Victorian salmon tyers, who could be very particular indeed. From his writing it seems his patterns were developed carefully through trial and error, and he clearly believed in the importance of his refinements.
The mention of the West’s hackle printed in Davies edition of the book is very interesting. My second edition of the book has black as the second hackle which gives a very different look to the fly. I’ve never seen the version of the fly as tied by Davie before.
@@DaraTuohy Do you know what the West’s hackle was?
@@callumclark3358 No idea Callum. I’ve never seen the dressing described with a Wests hackle which seems to be unique to Davies edition of a Man May Fish. In my second edition of the book it simply gives the hackle as black in the dressing.
Bestială pentru clean 👏!
Lovely looking fly, tied well.😀
Traditionally, how was this style of fly fished on the Irish Loughs?
Great stuff Davie. This one is a great Grilse fly in low water.
Will you be doing up the Kingsmill as well?
Hi Bob,
I filmed the Kingsmill a few years ago so I have attached a link to it for you to see..I'm glad you liked the fly..

All the very best Davie
@@DavieMcPhail Many thanks Davie
Lovely looking fly, beautiful tye . We're can I get oval tinsel? Do they still make it 🤔
Really impressive Davie, not seen one being tied before. Got the choice of tying on Saturday or mowing and garden. Any suggestions,?
