I enjoyed watching a rainbow today trying to take a hawthorn which was sitting right on top of the water. He nudged it and circled it about 5 times before splashing it with his tail and then leaving hastily. Comic genius.

Another great pattern Davy. Looking forward to tying a few of these up !!

Thanks Davie I enjoy your instructive videos although I sometimes have to translate for my American Friends - please keep them coming - I wish I had half the skills you possess Eric

Thanks Eric, that was very good!

Great tie up. Never fished this fly, but I think it would catch any fish.

Thanks for another great pattern. I am so happy to have advanced to a place where it is not so difficult to make the flies I see you tie. You always make any fly you tie look so easy. It is finally getting easier for me to tie the patterns. Thanks for sharing your skill and artistry. All the best to you and yours. God Bless. Sean

Hi Dave, I see you are using yr old nice vice again.

Hi Davie, Great Pattern!! Where do you get these preknotted legs you use in the video

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Lars Hagström, Thank you I'm glad you like it. The pre-knotted legs come from a wholesale company called Veniards so if you know of a shop or online company that sell their materials I'm sure they will be able to get them for you. I have attached a link to the stockist for you to have a look... www.veniard.com/stockists.asp All the very best Davie

Hi Davie, I've missed your videos on here lately, are you ok? Regards Dewi

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Dewi, All is fine thanks, I do hope to have a lot more time to film as I have to gather a lot of footage for the winter months, I've just been very busy with work....All the very best Davie
