Tying a Whiting Coq de Leon Cinnamon Caddis by Davie McPhail

[@Prostotakrybalka]

Hello my Friend! Beautiful Caddis👍

[@JohnAmidon-c6r]

Nifty way of tying on the CDL overwing! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@crs1321]

Looks as if it will do the damage Davie, another braw wee beastie. Just finished off half a dozen brigadiers this morning. Filling a box of Capt John Kennedy flies for South Uist trip. Clan Chief next then Green French partridge.🤞.Thanks for the tips. 👍👏🎣

[@КахрамонБазаров-р2ш]

Превосходная мушка!!!

[@krallmi48]

I did enjoy it, Davie... got some ideas too... thanks. Mike

[@luisalbertogomezruiz4058]

Por cierto.... El tricoptero me encanta... Tiene muy buena pinta....

[@dominiquedumora6762]

Sa ma donné une idée pour faire de nouveaux montage,Merci David 👍😊😊😊

[@tcoulter46]

Really looks the part of a great fish catcher 👍

[@andersklasson1226]

Very nice one! Tanks Davie 👍

[@neilandrew961]

For a bit of fun thats a beautiful little fly will definitely be a few of these going into my box

[@thomasw_]

First I have seen the use of CDL for the horns/top wing of a caddis. Especially appreciate the simplicity of the fly. Greetings from Kimberley in the East Kootenays of BC!

[@gmonnye]

Absolute beauty. Enjoyed my coffee this morning watching this, Thanks for the wonderful videos Davie.

[@mikeney5113]

That is a lovely pattern there Davie.great tie as always.thanks

[@Fischer67]

Hi Davie, wonderful pattern with nice technic and beautiful colour- and materialcombination! The Thank you very much

[@johnshand6176]

It's hard to procure good CDL down-under in NZ but I will certainly replicate this one if only in a slightly different colour. Thanks so much for your inspiration.

[@mooney411]

Absolutely gorgeous and buggy!!

[@donaloflynn3922]

Nice looking fly Davie. I’ll definitely tie a few of these. Thanks

[@christopherkarpacz2119]

Beautiful looking fly Davie, unbelievable tying as usual, thank you 👏🎣

[@oscarbarreiro4266]

I am sure it will work fantastically well, in spain a similar model without CDC and with the genuine "gallo de león" feathers is quite traditional and efficient.

[@paulmoy1763]

Beautiful too watch Dave,perfection as per usual.😊

[@АлександрПлахотный-е4у]

Благодарю, Дэви! Мушка - класс!👍🤝🇰🇿

[@sergtang5593]

One to add to my flies box. Thanks.

[@bolatk1517]

Тема СDC , самый крупный хариус уверенно взял мушку в конце проводки, прямо из под ног.☺👍👍👍🇰🇿 мое почтение мэтр.

[@bolatk1517]

😊☺ честно говоря, мне понравилась Ваша мушка из вашего раннего творчества красная, вяжется легко, рабочие качества проверил лично и впечатлен результатом. Разнообразие внёс в цвета хвоста и грудных перьев, черные и другие цвета на 12, 14 номере с кристал флеш и без него.

[@bruceallen6377]

What a simple awesome caddis! Thanks Davie!

[@davidfraser4083]

Love the look Davie, I've not got a lot of CDL left but I'll try to tie a couple. Masterclass as usual cheers,stay safe, Big Davie

[@Jack-fi2cl]

Perfect fly!

[@newflyrod1]

Wicked looking fly!! Will definitely add a few to my box. Thank you for all the videos, you are the best 👌

[@tmarkk99]

Going to try a few of this pattern and see how it goes. Thanks Davie. Enjoyed the video a lot

[@keithr4224]

Absolutely beautiful....

[@ВладимирЦарёв-з4ч]

Отличная мушка! Свяжу обязательно, у нас в Сибири по хариусу уверен работать будет.

[@AllanMHutton]

Excellent instruction! 👍

[@lasse1187]

Lovley pattern thx Davie

[@allanhughes945]

Totally amazing davie perfection 👌

[@whitetroutchannel]

its art, pure and simple 👍👍

[@RockyPhillips]

Lovely pattern

[@fliesbychris]

I've only got the dark speckled cdl but I've got some matching CDC so it'll be a different colour but definitely will attract a trout or 2, fantastic pattern Mr Mcphail!!! ATB Chris.

[@michaeljmckinnon2960]

Excellent Sir

[@gmcallsuk]

I like it Davie, of course you can experiment with different colours of cdc.

[@50Squirrel]

Brilliant as always!

[@WeeManSham]

Very nice Davie. CDL is getting very hard to get your hands on and very expensive.

[@michaelfleck2372]

Smashing video I only started last year and have found your instruction the best and be easiest to follow M

[@stolemymaize]

Love the style, lightweight and quite durable I'd guess.

[@orth..8171]

Thanks Davie! 👍! (Dużo się dzięki Tobie nauczyłem. ;) )

[@alasdairhamilton1574]

Coq de Leon otherwise known as Rab C Nesbitt, with that comb over @ 10:00 😉 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@luisalbertogomezruiz4058]

No es coq de León.... Es español.... Es gallo de León.... Y la mayor gracia de esa pluma es montarla sola, para que los peces puedan adivinar el brillo y el moteado de las fibras de la pluma.... Nosotros montamos el tejadillo solo de fibras de gallo de León, y le. Ponemos un hackle alante, de cuello de gallo de León también...

[@kerrypitt9789]

It's funny I own several Coq capes. Nothing fancy, I have a dark and a light, but then I found one in lavender!! Be still my beating heart! (Not too still). I own two or three bunches of Spanish Coq feathers and I dole these out so carefully! I don't like killing chickens as I have said, but honestly I know I'm not helping much. I'm just using mine cautiously but really I'm maybe saving a chicken every two years. It ain't much is it? Do you feel the horns are necessary?

[@stewartthefishwhisperer]

Can I please ask a question Davie. What would be the best pattern for tying fish imitations seen alot but recently seen a fly called the game changer just wandered if you heard or seen 1

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Stewart, There's many styles and patterns out there that do a great job at representing a small fish and the game changer is one of them..I've never tyed one before as you do need a lot of bits to tye one and as far as I believe it's around £10 though I could be wrong... All the very best Davie..

[@stephentyreman5209]

Hi great fly but we’re did you get the coat de Leon from I just Carnot find it anywhere regards steve.

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Stephen, I bought the ones I have online and at fly tying shows, I have attached a link to some I found on Ebay for you to see..I'm glad you liked the fly.. All the very best Davie www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=whiting+coq+de+leon+saddle&_sacat=0

[@gregsage1605]

I love it.

[@davidwillacy4796]

Nice one Davie. I’m off to the bench right now to make another mess! Is there any practical use on any fly at all for the waste “fluff” at the bottom of feathers that gets ripped off and discarded? Could it be put in a grinder and be made into dubbing for example. Cheers

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi David, It's amazing sometimes what you can do with the waste of the materials we use even the fluff at the bottom of the feathers..If it's long enough you can wind it up like a herl but if you can't then you can dub it just like I did and trim it back as it will give you a lovely body..I'm glad you liked the fly.. All the very best Davie

[@kb8030]

Davie, My name is Kevin Baumgarten and I am an avid fly fisherman living in Nashville, TN. Thanks to you, I am now also an avid fly tier too! Your videos gave my tying game the refinement I needed to take it to the next level. The tips and strategies you teach not only apply to the small dry flys but also to tying large musky and striper flys too. Other than just saying thanks, I was hoping to be able to send you a couple pictures of a bwo pattern of yours I scaled up to fish the Michigan Hex hatch. The pattern is the most successful fly I have ever fished and my buddies all agree! Do you have an email address I can send the pics to??? Thank you for your time and for being the best teacher on the web!!!

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Kevin, I would love to see your fly but I can't put my email address on a public page though if you have an instagram or a Facebook page you can PM me with the photos...It's great to hear that my videos have helped you in your fishing and fly tying and thank you for the kind words.. All the very best Davie

[@JP24Mich]

Fantastic looking caddis pattern. I love these cdc flies. What do you do to keep this fly floating after it has been sunk or caught a few fish? Cheers Davie

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi J P, I use a floatant on them first and then after each fish I wash and dry them with amadou patch though a powered dry float will also keep them up..I will also change them as well after time as it's best to do this as the fly will last longer it you allow them to dry completely...I'm glad you liked the fly.. All the very best Davie..

[@helgeo.sommer584]

Masterclass

[@flytyer2368]

Caddis have a reverse taper, why do you tie Caddis with a “Mayfly” taper?

[@АнатолийЗайцев-я1щ]

Великолепно 👍 🤝 🙋‍♂️

[@davidkerr2285]

I love this one Davie, your CDC is a lovely colour, have you dyed it yourself ?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi David, I did dye the CDC and I'm glad you liked the fly.. All the very best Davie..

[@bolatk1517]

Вышел из глубины, подсек вприглядку.

[@bolatk1517]

Крючок 16 CDC black .

[@soren266]

:-) nice

[@panoramix2656]

i think a real catcher for spooky fish, decent floating abilitys but not exelent
