Wonderfully well demonstrated!

[@Kendo2007]

an excellent pattern and video as always Davie only ever tied the march brown clyde style but this pattern with the wing looks excellent and will be getting tied up for the new season many thanks Kenny

[@Loyalist-ul6qm]

Thanks again Davie pal much appreciated.

[@pirjot4217]

Hey Davie, thank you for a very good video. I 'm going to try to tie up my first March Brown and I'm sure your example will help me. Although tying the wing will be the most difficult part! I have used March Brown (done by my husband) on little rivers and it has been effective! Thank you for all the videos for beginners, it's been inspiring and instructive to watch them. I wish you all the best, Pirjo

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Pirjo, I'm glad you enjoy the videos and I'm sure you'll tye a great March Brown...ATB Davie

[@Marcin_Pisarski]

Friend of mine gave me a couple of MB and brownies just love it! I found this video very helpful and now I have a whole box of MBs ;) Thank You Davie :)

[@electrocompany]

The best fly tying channel on KZbin for sure! Love your videos, Davie. Greetings from Norway

[@RockHavenFarm]

Thank you Davie I look forward to you vids. They make my day. Paul

[@joeboirier63]

wow great fly caught so many browns

[@lasse1187]

Very nice pattern. Wish you a happy new year 2021🎉🎉

I find tying thr hen pheasant very difficult. I started throwing looser turns in to start and that helped but they still are not great. More practice needed for sure. Absolutely loving tying this project box although have spent frightening amounts of money on materials. Once you have it though you get alot of flys from it. Reckon I have spent 500 - 600 quid.

[@frankdigiovanni4946]

That’s a beautiful tied March brown wet fly

[@navydonald]

Great fly, as usual. I agree with previous comment about the list of materials being very helpful too.

[@paulmckillen1921]

a well tied fly , hope I can tie like you in the future as I am learning day by day.

[@iflysw1]

Thanks for sharing, that's my go to fly in the spring.

[@stevesnaps1]

Another top class fly Davie hope you keeping well.ALB Steve.

[@LCBJedi]

Thanks, Davie! As always a very lovely tie! I envy your skill and ability with feather-wings. I don't think I could tie one half a nice to save my own life :-) Lars

[@q1fly1]

@DavieMcPhail Davie Thank you. Waiting for the next beautiful flies I greet

[@SPIDER100K]

i would love to see you tie a polish woven nymph, great fly .

[@grahamlonergan8964]

Thank you again

[@fullstrutn]

beautiful wings mine get so mashed up

[@paulbugeja5425]

I believe there is a typo in the materials used in this fly as the wings are turkey.

[@quincym-e4680]

Davie do you have a video explaining wing's? I'm really struggling getting the match for the left n right

[@EmanueleSorbettiGuerriFlyTying]

Hi Davie! great video! Emanuele

[@ppapucik]

Hello Davie,what type of brush is it(3:53-4:03)please,i just cant get that nowhere in the shops.thanks a lots.

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi PPAVEL, I'm using small pieces of velcro which I have stuck to the sides of a lollipop stick to brush out the fur, and thankyou for the kind words...All the very best Davie...

[@michaeldiamond8335]

Davey just wondering if you ever looked up the spider fly with the two hackles I was talking to a friend about it and he said that the first ones he remembers had gold or green silk for the body's and a black or ginger hackle at both ends and later on it changed to tinsel slim body the bann shrimp it was called for sea trout from size 8 down to 14 . I don't know if you will read this but thanks for all your video get content cheers

[@1968drum]

very nice Davie! i have a lot of turkey wing feathers, is there any reason i shouldn't use them for the wing on this fly? peace love fish, Daniel

[@freedomofabird]

Thanks Davie

[@bassnbows]

Does the length of the hook shank make a big difference? Im only 15, and i dont want to spend a pile of money and 40 different packs of hooks. Thanks!

[@q1fly1]

Hi Davie As usual beautifully. But if partridge feather by the old formula should not involve other way around? Partridge feather should be separated into lower and upper. March Brown fly a cult! I greet

[@birrapampa]

Please! show how you cut the feather!!!

[@seanmooney3907]

Alright Davie, are you training up this David Strawhorn? I know you don't look alike but watching you both tie flies it is like seeing a mini-me! He is not yet as polished as you are but he is close and using the same words in his instruction. I know about training up the next generation so I wouldn't be surprised. Have you seen this talented young man? Well I just watched him tie the same fly as this here, you need to see the video. All the best, Sean

[@ashtonmax]

Anyone know or think this will be a productive great lakes (ontario) steelhead pattern?

[@JanWeinhold001]

Hi Davie, a great video as always!!! I am a fan of the MB wet fly, but I have one question: what is the advantage or disadvantage of that MB winged wet fly compared with MB soft hackle spider wet fly? All the best Jan

[@reeldealhunting]

@DavieMcPhail Thanks! Oh and one more question, what hackle are you using and what feather did you use at the end? Thanks and AWSOME VIDEO!

[@freedomofabird]

Which vice are you using please Davie. Great vids.

[@bassnbows]

to add, could i just use a standard size wet fly hook?

[@sportfish]

Well tied!

[@by4405]

nice video!! thank you!!!!!!!

[@comesahorseman]

👍👍

[@Redterra527]

Davie, I know this is a basic question, but when I dub material onto my thread I have to lick my fingers a bit to get some friction. If my fingers are dry the dubbing goes flat and doesn't travel around the thread. Any suggestions? Thanks.

[@Nigel_S452]

Good looking fly Davie, I am going to try it on the English reservoirs when they open in March.... Why did you choose to tie the partridge hackle in by the tip - I am always unsure which way to tie the hackle feather in ...tip or bottom...? Thanks

[@DavieMcPhail]

HiNigel S, I'm glad you liked the fly and that you are going to give it a go.. When I first started tying I didn't tye the partridge in at the tip but after a while I started tying many of my hackles like this as a lot of the very best fibres were there and as well you'll find that the stems are much finer so this makes it easier to tye on... All the very best Davie

[@reeldealhunting]

What type and size hook are you using?

[@A5h13yK]

hi davie would you say the size 12 would be suitable as a clydestyle or would i be better off with a 14

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Ashley Kennedy, Both are good sizes to have in your box as I've caught on both wet and dry... All the very best Davie

[@A5h13yK]

***** cheers :D

[@truchonfario]

What material is the best for tail?

[@GiancarloDonninelli]

OK!!!!!!!!

[@anablakp3200]

Very slurred speech. Direct form happy hour to the tying bench?

[@101mossie]

If carlsberg did wet flies then this fly is probably.

[@realtimepassord]

Why do you clip The feathers outside The picture all The time?? If you don´t want us to se how to do it you was not neded to make any video.
