Sunday Morning on the River Doon with Davie McPhail 4th June 2023

[@softlad68]

Brilliant Sir, thanks for that, appreciate your time and expertise

[@richardcole4694]

Thank you for posting these longer fishing videos. Personally I watch them in several sittings, returning every time they offer more enjoyment than is available from the videos offered by the KZbin algorithm. In this way I can get a whole day of enjoyment from a sport that I can no longer afford to participate in. Thanks for your excellent contributions to our beloved activities of fly-tying and fishing

Beautiful video and setting, must pack the rods and mountainbike and drive over to Scotland sometime, these videos are very inspiring 👍

[@donnaperry7894]

absolutely lovely fishing videos; Davie is a wonderful guide and I love his demeanor. I am Peter Donna's husband who used to ty flies and fish all over Maine river and ponds; but I am disabled now but want to start fly tying again. I will have to start over as I gave my whole set up and Pamola vice it is an older and beautiful rotary vice with all my kit and feathers to my nephew who loves it.

Great Sunday morning on the Doon. Lovely looking beat, very well maintained. I imagine it will be good for Salmon at the back end. Thanks for taking us along on your wonderful fishing trips. Cheers

[@christofferaro]

Loving the fact that you don't have a regular flybox 😎

[@gdadc2649]

As a retired ex-pat living in Australia, you're killing me with beautiful memories. After a days fishing, sitting on the bank with a hot cup of tea with a dash of the amber and yes, a quiet cigarette. Arh yesteryear.

No Cuban cigars , about 2 hrs before the night sulpher hatch, i sit down and light up and just watch the stream, 2 years ago i had a night i will never forget. I started to see a few rises, i caught 2 nice fish, as i changed my fly i looked up stream ,i actually thought it was raining. All i seen were rises everywhere behind me inn front of me, up stream i never experienced anything like this ever. I been fishing a long time, i was amazed that, there can be that many fish in a stream, i couldn't figure out what the were feeding on. As i put my light on to change the fly, the mayflies attacked it they were in my hat in my pockets. They were so thick like a cloud almost, my last fly was a cdc dun mayfly size #12 first cast a hookup nice fish. I think i got lucky was not what they were feeding on, had plenty of samples though, lol. I am in NJ, as i went to a few shops to find out what these were , it was a isoynchia bio color but it only comes out every 3 years its color is different from the regular isoynchias, we see regularly in late summer, from the info i got from asking. **This one goes in the journal night to remember.

Beautiful setting 👍

Another fine video, Davie. I’m interested in your left-hand techniques for line-control. Since this is usually just out of camera shot, I wonder if during one of your next videos you could spend a moment or two showing us some of those retroeve techiques? Many thanks again for posting such wonderful content.

🎣🐟🙂👍🏻👍🏻

[@francismead1399]

Another really helpful video Davie...thank you. Can I ask if you use a 4wt line on the Cadence rod or slightly overweight it with a 5wt line? Presumably you are using a WF rather than a DT?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi @francismead1399, I've not tried a heavier line on the 4wt rod I used in the video though I have done this on other rods in the past. I do use WF lines now rather than the old DT which I used to love using... All the very best Davie

[@krallmi48]

Nice Day, Davie... thanks for taking. And was that a Tunnocks Caramel Wafer you were to have? =] Mike

[@rlwkirsch]

Wonderful day on the water. Question - Could you show us a time/conditions when you decide to swing wet flies rather than fish the dry or dry/dropper?

[@JohnSmith-fw5dm]

Mesmerising video, Davie. Would you fish the wets down and across or upstream?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi John, I would try fishing the wets both ways though I like to fish them slightly up and then bring the rod towards the bank keeping in touch with them as I've hooked a lot more fish doing this over the years..I'm glad you enjoyed the video.. All the very best Davie...

[@JohnSmith-fw5dm]

Thanks, Davie. I'll give that a go.

[@lyttletyer]

Hi Davie, how do I watch the Caddis pattern on studio KZbin? The other two are fine.

[@jamesormston8075]

What tackle are you using Davie? Line, rod length, weight,?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi James, I have attached links to the rods that I was using in the video I was also using the lines that come with the rods as well as their reels..

[@jamesormston8075]

Thanks Davie, really love the videos especially the fly tying videos.👍

[@keithfarrell957]

Trout video i know but ,can I ask... ,What is you're most successful salmon fly ? Thank you

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Keith, It's a split between a Willie Gunn and a Red Devil as I've caught on both in the same day though one will out fish the other now and then..When we used to have reasonable runs of fish I would on average catch around 30 plus a season now you are lucky if you catch 3 fish in a season.. I tye them on alloy and copper tubes from 1/4 inch up and I always like a fire orange or red head on them.. All the very best Davie.
