I’ve returned to this video several times. I consider Davie the best fly tyer and certainly the best fly tying teacher on the planet.
This pattern is so simply perfect that I see it taking trout anywhere it is fished. I’ve tied several of them and fished it over some very picky trout and have done very well with it. There is something really special about Davie McPhail. One of the items on my 100 items bucket list is to spend a day with him...1/2 day tying and 1/2 day fishing in his beautiful country.
Thank You Mark for all the kind words and if you ever come to Scotland then do drop by and say hello...
All the very best Davie...
Probably the best flytyer on RUclips, excellent.
You have the best fly tying videos ever. I know that you are a master at this. Thanks Davie for sharing your work. :-)
Very Clever Davie, the options open to the body and thorax almost become endless. Yet another wee work of art, great stuff!!
Lovely fly Davie. Great tip for CDC dubbing. Many thanks for sharing.
That’s a really nice midge there Davie. It’s one I’ll definitely have a go with. Thank you for another one.
Great idea Davie, like the look of that one can't wait to tye a few up
Excellent little fly as well tied again.
I forgot all about this one.
So nice to find it by scrolling down thru the years of you're RUclips video's.
And old friend of mine ,when i was young also gave the tip to spare the left overs cdc. To make cdc dubbing. Specially as it was very expensive back then. But still is,and or why waste this perfect buoyant material.
love it! : simple, elegant, correct proportions and colours.
Sweet and simple tie, can't wait to try it out, thanks for sharing 👍
Tks Davie 4 anthr great tying video. I truly appreciate repurposing fthrs as I save my leftovers 4 diff uses. The blow dryer trick was great n never occurred to me. Thank you 4 ur videos n tips. God Bless you!
Love watching your process. Thank you.
Thank you. Your instruction is fantastic. That is one pampered fly.
Spectacular I'm tying and I'm your fan Dave Congratulations!!!
Great video. I never thought about using old material for dubbing. Thanks for your tips!
Hi Davie the use of used materials is great .I have done the same thing with cdc myself your idea works great. thanks you very much for your help .Happy New year .big fan of your work
Thank You Harold and Happy New Year to you too...
All the very best Davie...
Thanks Davie. Some great ideas there.
Nice pattern and a great wee saver demo. I do like to save a penny or two
Genius ! Crackin wee fly Davie 👍
Brilliant instruction on flytying. i just started tying flys again after a number of years. im a novice again
What a cracking fly Davie
Elegant in its simplicity. Love the idea of saving the cut ends of the CDC. I will do that from now on. After seeing how much dubbing you came up with from relatively few feather ends. All the best to you and yours. Thanks again. Sean
Can you tell me whether adding varnish on to an already uv resin application will nullify the uv effect of the coating?
Enjoyed the lesson thank you sir
thank you for using the left overs
Excellent recycling.
Merci beaucoup une nouvelle fois pour le partage de cette vidéo . J’aurais juste une question ... pourquoi ne pas utiliser le Magic tool pour des raisons de simplicité... je n’ai aucune action chez Mr Petit jean , mais cette appareil est simple et efficace...?
looks great
Hello Davie,
Again a real good looking pattern.
Ask you something.
After you had worked with a uv resin and a torch, you did varnish the body.
What is the main reason to do it and what varnish is a good one to use?
With kind regards an tight lines.
René
Hi René,
The main reason for doing this is because all the resins that I have used and even the old epoxy resins leave a tacky residue so by coating it with a fine coat of varnish keeps it clear and tack free..I'm glad you liked the fly..
All the very best Davie..
Ah very good Davie, I didn't know you could do that with the UNI, I thought it had to be done with the THC! 👍🏻
UTC sorry! Lol 😭😂
THC (the active ingredient in marijuana) would likely negatively impact your thread-splitting capability.
handcannon HAHAHAHAHAAHHAHHAHAHH me bad!!!
Any chance you could tie the version using the red seals fur I find seals fur hard to use so any tips would be greatly appreciated ....
Hi hopper1aoa15,
I have attached a link to one of my videos which is close to this pattern and in it I use seals fur around the same area in this fly, hopefully it will help you but if not let me know..

All the very best Davie
like the fly
I like this method for cdc wings rather than using the stem and folding it
Great looking pattern. Now if I could just find a good commercial source for "long" stripped peacock quill. Bought a while ago and they seem very short. They were "Polish" quills.Are quills the same as peacock herl?
Hi Richard,
I have used the Polish quills and they are much the same one's as I use you, just have to tye them in at the tip of the quill to get the full use of it...The peacock quills I buy come from Veniards, they are the extra large which should have the best quills both in colour and length. I usually buy them in bulk of a hundred to select the best and I would normally get about 40% to 60% of the feathers good enough for quills..I'm glad you liked the midge pattern...
All the very best Davie.
what make of grub hook are you using . thanks in advance .
Hi John,
I have attached a link to the type of hook I like to use on flies like this...
All the very best Davie

I would be most appreciative if anyone can tell me where to get packages of CDC that are larger that the amount of loose feathers on Davie's table! I have been trying to find anywhere to get CDC that has more than 20-25 feathers for $5 US!!!!
Another great-looking fly from a true master. This one should appeal to many, as it looks easy to tie, and it allows the tyer to recycle some expensive material. You talked about adding floatant; would you use CDC oil, or would a dry powder also work?
Hi handcannon,
It is a good fly to have in your box and very simple to tye, I've used both and they work fine though I have been treating my flies especially CDC with Nikwax which seems to last far longer though a dry shake powder will bring it back to normal...I'm glad you liked the fly...
All the very best Davie..
Davie McPhail - Nikwax, that's a great idea. I'm never sure what's best to use (powder, oil, etc. ) I'll give that a try. Great looking fly - and the warmer weather is on its way..! Many thanks, Davie.
Ciao Davie,
sei un grande costruttore di mosche. Che numero di amo hai usato nel video? Grazie!
Happy New Year Mario...I tyed the flies on a size 16 grub shaped hook...ATB Davie
@@DavieMcPhail Happy New Year! 👋🏻
Enjoying your TMC Razor scissor?
Hi Jason,
I do like them but you may notice the points are a little bit shorter as I dropped them on my laminate floor and broke the tips off them so I had to file them back, they still work fine as you can see..
All the very best Davie..
What kind of die do you use
Hi James, I use Veniards dyes..www.veniard.com/product4794/section138/
If you must heave a sigh while gathering cdc barbs, turn your head, or you'll blow your work off the table.
Davie, what varnish are you using to coat after you put on the UV resin??
Hi Jared Militello,
I use Veniards clear varnish though use the one you would normally use as I'm sure it would be ok..
All the very best Davie..
Anyone have link to the peacock quill ?
Hi HeathService,
I have attached links to stripped quills I have used and would recommend and I hope this is of some help to you...All the very best Davie

Thank you mr davie,
I will have to buy these at a later date, I’m just using an eraser right now but will certainly buy these at a later date.
Thank you for your reply
👍💪
What is CDC you keep saying?
Trevor Billard its a feather for fly tying, I believe it comes from the ducks butt, yo can find it in packs at your fly shop
Hi Trevor,
I have attached a link to more information of the CDC which stands for Cul de Canard...
All the very best Davie..
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cul_de_canard
you always seem to have so white and clean quills is it from the bleach
i just use an eraser tryed to ask on some swedish page about what to use for bleach we dont have the same names and brands here is it the same as clorin ?
thank you for another amazing pattern too had so much fish on many of your patterns cant thank you enough
"Chlorine" or Cl- is half of what makes up bleach. What you are looking for will be found with the laundry supplies. Brand makes little to no difference; so I would buy the cheapest one available. If the clerk won't help you find it, any woman over 50 should be able to help you locate what you're looking for.
Hi Robert,
I have attached a link to the bleach I use it's an everyday one which is used in most homes as you may know. I mix one part in five if I had to measure it out but you will see it working as the water looks like it's getting dirty as this is the herl coming away from the quill...I should do a video on it sometime as I'm sure many would like to see what I do..

All the very best Davie..
thank you davie couldnt answer before and thank you for this patterns,love to mix my own dubbing and so
always a little harder to get material here in sweden the names and brands not so many that do it them self
big thank you for everything
Love watching your videos with cc it confuses the shit out of the translation
Hi Davie, sorry but there is a much better way to cut the CDC feathers to make dubbing, get the wife to do it. Reg
Ìź
Excellent ty. Do you have a web page where you sell these? Tight lines🦗🪰🐜!!!!
Hi Robert,
I'm glad you liked the flies but I'm sorry to say there's no site to buy these flies as I no longer take orders...
All the very best Davie..
