[@welshleadephemera9811]

2020, Ireland trip to Corrib and Conn probably going to be cancelled. Watching Davie tie flies is a kind of therapy, loved this pattern.

[@moonstarer55]

A tidy looking fly. Quite a hairy looking beast tied brilliantly I might add.

[@kentw.897]

That is a Very Beautiful Mayfly Dun. So far I never seen anything like it. Excellent work Davie, I will add this video to your playlist and watch it again later on. Thankyou for teaching me how to tie this pattern. Aloha, and Happy New Year🌴🌴🎣🎋💥💥

[@dougcrowhurst71]

Hi Davie thanks for getting back so quickly I've watched a lot of your videos. As I have said I'm very new to fly tying and fishing , you give a beginner a lot of confidence.

Davie, the MayFlies are gathering beneath my light on the front deck. They inspire me.

Fab fly, enjoyed that 👍🏻

[@AndyHudson]

I'm completely new to fly tying, is there any chance you could do a basic skills video, showing us how to start a fly, using the whip finish tool etc. Cheers Andy

[@TheNego]

You make great videos man and thanks lots for the confidence to get into tying myself! If you have a video for a Wooly Bugger could you post it for me as a link, or if you dont have one could you make one? Thanks again, Jason J.

[@Nsjdirdj]

Nice cant wait to try it out on corrib

[@claudioadaro6299]

Hi David, you're an excellent fly tyer. Claudio and I live in Mendoza - Argentina. I have seen almost all your videos and really are very good, very similar to insects that exist in the area and have had very good catches with your imitations. I would like to ask you a question, what is the brand of your tying vise? I can not find on the Internet Many Thanks

[@particlepete1]

Ok nice one Davie .

[@krallmi48]

Thanks, Davie... Mike

[@msammon1000]

Hi Davie, I was wondering, I have a Picric dyed cape do you think it would be a good sub for the light olive ,dyed hackle you have used here?? the thing is, it appear it may be brighter than the cape you have used here but it does have a lovely light sheen. PS watch you videos all the time..great tips for tying better flies. Thank you

[@adoyle2710]

Another great tying Davie, thanks for all your brilliant videos. Davie, what leader set up do you use when fishing buzzers, ie, flourocarbon? Droppers? Dropper Knots? I have terrible problems when i try to use them, like the flourocarbon always ends up looking like a coiled spring and the droppers are lassoed around my main leader. Maybe I should use a heavier breaking strength? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, Cheers Andy

[@TotallyFlyTying]

Did you use the stabilize feature Davie? It'll take a few hours to return to normal. Its a great looking fly anyway! Best Regards, ~David

[@MrMarkysparky]

Davie when you are using seals fur do you use it straight out the bag or do you prep it in any way i.e do you rinse or chop it up the reason I'm asking is I'm having a bit of trouble dubbing it properly as there is always loads of long straggly bits left hanging out all over the place although I know it's good practice to tease out some fur my flies are ott. Cheers Marc

[@MyroslavG]

I wanted to ask this question for a while so here it goes: do Irish style wet flies meant for lakes like this one also work on rivers on a swing for example? Thanks in advance for your answer Best Myroslav

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Myroslav, They are normally fished in the lochs but they would fish in the rivers just as well especially the Dabbler patterns for trout sea trout and salmon... All the very best Davie..

[@Lee-Weir]

Alright davie met you years ago up springwater and was just wondering if you still fished there and also what its like now a days as im thinking of heading up sometime in the summer if i get the chance. Also do you know where to get that u.v resin cheap enough for good quality. Many thanks

[@dougcrowhurst71]

Hi Davie I'm Doug from Tasmainia Australia are your trout pattens suitable for our trout here. I'm very new to fly fishing and hope you can help.

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Doug Crowhurst, Yes you can use many of the flies I tye in the videos although it would be worth finding out what flies fish best in the waters you intend fishing, then you can give the flies I tye a go as it always pays to have something different when things are not working.. All the very best Davie

[@Nsjdirdj]

Just wondering what hooks you use for your stimulator flies tanx

[@RockHavenFarm]

Do you know of any conversion charts for hooks? It can be a little confusing when your standing there looking a hundreds of hooks and the don't have the exact one your looking for.

[@Metal-Fish-Video]

wow...16 min for one fly! i hope the carson catch a fish. at least one fish ;)

[@brockwilson3446]

Any substitute for the kamasan hook, that you prefer?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Brock, Any standard wet fly hook would be ok to use which you can buy from your local tackle shop.. ATB Davie..

[@brockwilson3446]

Thank you

[@SlickRoode]

Hi Davie, I've searched high up and low down but I can't find that ''Honey Olive'' seals fur, well to the same colour as the one you're using, anywhere. Have you a source for it or did you dye it yourself. If so, is there any chance you could let me know which dyes/ratio of dyes you used and what base colour of seals fur you used. Thanks

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Slick Roode, The easiest way to get a honey olive is to blend seals fur in cinnamon or light ginger to an olive which will warm it up, I do this more now than I used to as the dyes change all the time and getting the colour right can take a bit of messing around...I hope this helps you in some way... All the very best Davie

[@SlickRoode]

I'll give that a try. Thanks for replying.

[@urbanflyman36]

[@particlepete1]
