Tying the Grizzly Bibio Hopper with Davie McPhail

[@marvmeng1630]

Sir, Thanks for replying so soon - also, thanks for replying at all. Great demo. Of all the tyers on KZbin, u r the best.

[@jimflynn466]

Hi Davie, I tied this up after watching your video, but I only had grizzle hackles dyed blue and I was delighted with the outcome, hopefully this will do the business when I get a chance to fish them, I’ll need to get a few more tied up. Thanks for the video.Cheers Jimf

[@raymondtucker312]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful pattern and taking the time to explain each step along the tying process. Great job.

[@kentw.897]

Very Nice Davie, I like this pattern too. Black and Red are two of my favorite colors. Thanx for sharing this this video with us. You Take Care. 🌴🎣🏄‍♂️Aloha🤙🏼

[@WATTSROBIN]

Don't know how I missed this one Davie...but an excellent fly. I've been tying up a box of flies for my niece and a lot of them are based on Zulus and Bibios For the hill lochs you can't beat them.

[@dannymcg8300]

Very nice looking fly Davie. Well tied and explained. Many thanks for sharing.

[@chrismac7691]

Nice tie. Merry Christmas sir. Looking forward to more videos.

[@elduderoony8171]

I’ve not tried any hoppers yet so this one will have to go on the to-do list!. Thank you for making me do ‘another’ one Davie! 😬

[@krallmi48]

Great looking fly mate. That would be another killer one for brookies over and brown trout. You and your family have a great Christmas and new year my friend. Thanks for sharing another one with us. Best Regards, Ken

[@DavieMcPhail]

Thank you Ken and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year when it comes as well. I hope it fishes well for the Brookies for you and thanks for all the kind words throughout the year... All the very best Davie

[@mikeking453]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thanks for all the awesome flies you tie. I have learned a lot watching your videos thank you

[@DavieMcPhail]

Thank you Mike, it is a nice fly to tye and fish...Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too... All the very best Davie...

[@markrobinson3841]

Great tying once again Davie. Happy Xmas to you and the family.

[@ipod1978]

Beautiful pattern Davie, like this one a lot. Merry Christmas to you pal, hope you have a good one

[@scottgould294]

Another great video. I would like to see a video of how to recover the fly when little things happen like the tackle breaking, tinsel unwinding, crooked wings and things like that.

[@danjohnson6292]

Christmas came early with this video! Thanks Davie

[@AllanMHutton]

Excellent wee pattern!

[@sonsoffishes1]

Thanks for this pattern Davie! I know you touched upon using this fly at the beginning of the season, but I was wondering if you could add some time to your videos to give more explanation of when, where and how to use your flies? Sometimes I am not sure whether your patterns are best for stillwaters, rivers etc and how you would fish the fly (depth, retrieve, liter length, etc.). For me, this would add a tonne of value! Anyhow, Merry Christmas and all the best in 2019 to you and your family!

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi WiFi_, I would to do this but you would have to film this when fishing as it's much easier to explain, the problem is that I just don't get the time due to work..I'll see what I can do next season and hopefully get some footage with the way they can be fished...Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year when it comes... All the very best Davie...

[@sonsoffishes1]

@@DavieMcPhail thanks Davie. Any additional info would be great! Your videos are so instructive and the quality of your flies are top notch - for me the only missing piece is how to effectively fish them. I fish lakes profusely throughout May to November in British Columbia and have a good understanding of fishing tactics for your common lake flies (Chironomids, Mayflies, Caddis, leeches, Damsels, Dragons, Shrimp, water boatman, etc.) but have done very little river fishing so I shy away from tying anything that I might perceive as a river fly because I don't have the knowledge of how to fish them. I think with this information, I would be more likely to invest in the materials to tie these flies and actually give it a go. Conversely, I'm sure there are other fisherman who who may fish rivers and/or oceans but not lakes and feel the same way. I know there are other resources out there to teach this stuff however a single resource that says, hey, here's this fly, this is how you tie it and this is where, when and how you fish it, would be so amazing! Anyhow I know this would be more difficult for you to do, so I understand that it's not necessarily realistic to implement - and either way, you have my support as I love your videos!

[@MrCapozzella]

Lovely as always Davie

[@mikeshaw714]

Brilliant. Have a great Christmas and New Year.

[@rloos2061]

[@fliesbychris]

Nice pattern Davie!! I like the grizzled hackle up front,I'll try a couple with Cree hackles and dyed red grizzled too and see if I have any luck with them on the small hill lochs. Merry Christmas and a very good new year Davie.

[@paulus0109]

Good looking fly Davy. Another plessure video watching you tyïng! Have a good time.

[@123marlo]

Hope you had a good time at Christmas Davie, really liked this fly must get my son Grant to try and make me up a couple and I’ll try them up in Caithness but still using one of your fly’s I think you tied about 50 for us years ago during the winter and it’s still doing the business it’s a sort of olive bumble with a great hackle so have a good New Year to you and your family 👍🎣🍺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Marshall, If I remember right I tyed you the Olive Sedge Hog Bumbles which was at one time a well kept secret as it became very popular with many that fished it..I'm sure this pattern would fish as well for you and your son..I did have a lovely Christmas thank you and Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to you and your family... All the very best Davie...

[@possumkingproductionsmike8089]

I've got to tie up some legs. I fish rivers and streams, but I fish a Bob upstream as an indicator for my spiders and softhackles. Thanks again and Merry Christmas! Thanks also from us ham fisted guys that break hackles all the time.

[@militarist7777]

Супер круто получилось.

[@Adipper]

Hi Davie: Can you confirm whether multiple knots are tied on each PT fiber vs. just one? When all bunched together hard to tell. Thanks and Merry Christmas!!

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Larry, When you buy the pre-knotted legs they have two knots tyed on each fibre...Merry Christmas.. All the very best Davie...

[@hairythecat3603]

[@russellhaskell7856]

Hi Davie I wanted to ask you a question and wasn't sure how to contact you, so I thought coming here was the best way. I was watching the Chalk Stream Chronicles and was wondering if you could demonstrate how George Marriott tired on dry fly wings. There is a description in the video that is hard for me to follow. Thank you Russell the maple syrup guy.
