Tying a Hot Spot Midge Pupa/Buzzer with Davie McPhail

[@kerrypitt9789]

Hey Davie! 0400 here, I always wake up at this time for medication and I can't just fall back to sleep. I remember when I started following you many years now! The thing I noticed is that much of the tying magic you perform was done at the head. I learned how to fit more into less by watching you. I'd swear your fly should have been finished but you would still have four things to add!!! This pattern is not quite as compact but it is a great example of what and how you design and build flies! Thank you!

That's a cracking buzzer Davie thankyou

[@kiwi_comanche]

I'm about to begin my journey in fly tying, and your videos are a constant inspiration. Thank you!!!!

[@moonstarer55]

An excellent looking buzzer

[@jamesgallacher7560]

Thanks for sharing Davie , you can see why comp anglers would love that one. Nice tip with the hot spot stuff. Straight on the net for some 😄 your Flexi or whatever its called looks poppin , is dying it difficult buddy. Where would I get the dye for that colour. 🤔 many questions I know .....sorry 😄 absolutely love the pattern. Used to fish your fishery loads of times, what I'd have given to watch you tie 😉.

Cracking buzzer pattern Davie

[@kinnellian]

Beautiful buzzer, I really like that effect. When I used to tie buzzers, I frequently used an underbody of silver tinsel first, which made any thread wraps on top 'shine' and be more translucent. (I still use it for the odd wet & dry fly dressings, especially spiders) You'd think a metal hook would do that anyway, but silver tinsel underneath thread wraps makes a big difference when wet. (compare in a glass of water) It would make the red thread turns between the rib here more prominent - if that was wanted anyway. Though that might be gilding the lily with this little gem 👍

[@ibelieve1468]

Fantastic buzzer I will definitely tie a few of them. Could you possibly tie Cid Knights pearly daddy? I have pictures or screen grabs of the original should you require them. Many thanks.

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi I Believe, If you have a link to the original dressing then I'll certainly look at tying one and I'm glad you liked the buzzer..... ATB Davie..

[@ibelieve1468]

@@DavieMcPhail thank you for your consideration. I have messaged you all the pics I have.

Was he the guy with the shop in Bridgnorth?

[@ibelieve1468]

@@danieluk5393 no idea sorry, only heard about him on utube and seen his very good used flies.

@@danieluk5393 Yes he was, sadly he recently passed away.

[@whitetroutchannel]

just another work of art!! 👍👍

[@leonardwells9613]

I would LOVE to see more patterns using CATGUT possibly in some of the colors now available like the CADDIS GREEN, GINGER, etc. There seems to be a huge void in videos using this material and I would LOVE to see YOU tie some. L 👍🎣👍

[@callumclark3358]

Hope he does, I’ve got an old tennis racquet in the shed, might just come in handy!

[@dongil123]

[@alexstewart7652]

Would red nail varnish work?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Alex, It will work fine as I used varnish a few times myself normally after applying the UV resin... All the very best Davie
