These were fun thank you Davie

[@kevintobin7482]

Nice, we had a go with the Kate few weeks ago and I will again Davie. Love all of your videos, and they most definitely teach a better understanding of the art. Thanks. KT 👍

Hi am going to start fly tying again I had a very bad stroke three years a go and broke my ankle on top of the stroke.i am going to start tying an easy fly like the kate maclarn that is my favourite fly in the lake district this is a really good wild brown trout and sea trout fly.that's never let me down.david cunningham.

[@lukeszarowicz]

just a big thank you Davie for prescribing some excellent patterns for Scottish lochs. This particular pattern being the most successful. I found the topping dyed hot orange just had the advantage. Really loved Scotland. might have to move there!

[@mbaird3286]

my favorite fly for local lakes. my favorite site to find good patterns, or just to renew my incentive. been tying since 8 now 69. best, and thanks for the incentive.

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi +M Baird, It's very kind of you to let me know how much you enjoy the videos and flies I tye. I'm sure there's a huge amount of tying tips and methods you use that I would love to see as well, as you know we never stop learning this great hobby... All the very best Davie

[@scotticusnorvegicus]

Excellent !!! Great video 👍 I've got more Kate McLarens in my fly box than any other fly. Deadly !

[@titanecampi]

welcome back Davie it's been well over a month since your previous post. Always nice to watch you. Roly

[@101mossie]

Very good enjoyed that as with all your vids, could never understand why rough fishing flies always work when the naturals aren’t rough, don’t think trout are that fussy, I’ve caught fish on your March brown regardless of the hatch from March to September, size 14 March brown with oval gold tinsel covers every hatch in my experience, anyway love your work and thanks again 👍🏻

[@mbaird3286]

Davie, thanks for the quick response. Afraid that broken fingers and poor eyesight have reduced my skill level. Concentrating now on Intruders, Spey, steelhead and large saltwater flies. Thanks again. We still need to get you over here sometime....believe it or not, with the right time of year you can get albacore, black rockfish, salmon, sea run cutthroat, and rather large trout. Maybe even some nice capes to use on your videos. Best.

great wee wet fly davie, this is one of my favorites, was getting a bit worried,hadnt seen you on the site for ages, welcome back and happy wrappings, davy, antrim.

[@terriesyoung9871]

Wow, it's great to have you back. I been going through Davie withdrawals for about 2 weeks. I started listening to BBC news just so I could hear the accent. OK, really, I'm kidding, but I do look forward to each fly.

[@mazman8343]

[@Tossdart]

I like this nice simple fly. Your methods of tail to head differ from mine.

[@trevorluft6032]

What type of hen cape did you use please?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Trevor, I used a Indian hen neck to tye this one, you can also use the cock neck as well.. All the very best Davie

[@trevorluft6032]

[@OldBear5255]

[@taralucy21]

Hi Davie,have subscribed to you, first class .Caught my best brownie from Loch Naver,Altnaharra Lairg using Kate Mcklaren 1Lb 10 0z using 3lb nylon

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi taralucy21, Many thanks for subscribing, the Kate McLaren I would say is in the top ten when it comes to this style of fly and I'm sure it would fish just as well anywhere in the world... Well done... All the very best Davie

[@leethomson2461]
