Is this a John Dawson fly?

Hi Steve, do you use brass or tungsten beads for your stillwater lures? Cheers

Excellent video. I can feel a new grayling box coming on. I thought you were going to get the decks on at first!

Good looking fly pattern Steve tks 😊

Nice looking flea that. I’ll try it with a silver tag to imitate an air bubble as the shuck forms and a smooth (dubbing free) body the rest the same. Red on a buzzer just looks good..

I thought up a fly like this and never tied it. Then a while back I saw this and had to tie one and it looks amazing. I think it looks best as a jig with a black nickel bead, but ive tied it with a metallic pink bead with an orange hot spot and on an egg/caddis hook. Dying to use it for steelhead but everything froze. Hopefully opens up in a week or so with mild temps

Got a box of them wee Arthur wilkie tied many years ago lethal when I used in deep winter

Nice fly Nice tye. Hope to bump into you at Staffordshire in February.

Cracking fly mate.Where do you buy your 5mm and 7mm fish eyes from.Going to tie a few up.Have you tried the loop knot on buzzers and nymphs on droppers?

Endolphins! They go swimming round your blood stream with heamogoblins on their backs...😉🙈 Nice video, Steve. 👍 I'm off to get my tying kit out...

Great pattern. I substituted a micro crystal flsh for the mallard and used UV resin, built-up a bit of a body. Cant wait to fish it. It looks very edible! Thank you

Nice fly Steve

Very nice Steve

I recall fishing with Jeremy many moons ago where he showed me this fly. I tie it usually at 20 or 22 hook and just use one or 2 CDC feathers. The body I use nothing but the thread, some olive, red, orange take your choice! Its a killer fly and as you say the 'get out of jail fly!'

awesome video would love if you did one for trout.

Thanks Steve. Pretty fly, never thought of the tinsel collar and super glue.

Man, I’ve thought of some different ways to spice up a PT but your PT is totally different than any of mine. I’m tying this one up and thank you for the superglue trick too. Thanks!!!!!!

Nice pair sl1200 there 😊

Nice selection of some less known flies - looking a tquite a few of them they are very buggy - Looks like you may be using dubbing loops to tease out the bugginess - would this be the case?

Great flies Steve are any of them tied in numbers for sale anywhere, my eyes don’t allow me to tie that small anymore……cheers

This looks like fine box for our tailwater rainbows and browns in the American West. Thank you Sir!

Fantastic! 🎉

Enjoyed that, always good to have look into someone else’s box and hear a little bit about each fly. Thought there might have been a drab fly in there. Wasp is a winner for me.

Great video and very sporting of you to share your favourites. I've just discovered glo brite no 8 this winter for use on the Nith. Amazing how effective a colour can be. All the best for 2025🤙🙂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

An old friend taught me that if the fly isn’t bouncing between the rocks on the bottom then your fishing too shallow 👍🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

I use a short intermediate leader to save the loops on expensive fly lines. I find flourocarbon leader loop to loop cuts in to softer fly line loops.

Great fly as usual Steve., happy Hogmanay!

Thanks Steve, nice pattern.

Lovely !!

Thanks Steve, have a good one when it comes.

Thanks Steve

🎣👍🏻

Thanks Steve. Very helpful tips.

I do have apps worms in my fly collection but nothing like this or that colour looks dead good. Please can you tell me where you get your jig beads from and your flexi floss 2 if you don't mind. I will need those materials before i can give it a go . Have a good Christmas 🎄 Steve and Family.

Didn’t catch where yer fishing lad can you let me know would be appreciated love the vids n info like they say every days a school day

I'm the first viewer 😊

That looks like it would be good in silver and black too, with black and white grizzle. I am going to have a go at your yellow version and see if I can get my first brown trout in Scotland with it.

Can't believe I've missed this one for two years. That is a Brilliant idea! Way better than foam indicators and NZ wool because it is more delicate and it has a hook! Already tied some up. Can't wait to use them. Thanks!

Great video Steve,only thing,didn’t fancy your effort to pull the fly from the trees.I’ve done this and have ended up with two broken rods, better pulling it straight inline with the fly,may break the leader but that’s easy replaced

Storr Lochs, Isle of Skye

Isn't there a deadpool 2 joke somewhere in this fly's name?

Cool buggy nymph, thanks Steve.

One for my box!!!

Buggy👌

How would you fish it ?

Good morning. I'm French and I don't understand English. the video translator is not good. Can you give me the dimensions of your leader with the space between the flies. which boobies will you use in murky waters. Sincerely
