[@DavieMcPhail]

Thank you Gerry, I'm glad you enjoy them..All the very best Davie

[@markrobinson3841]

Great pattern Davie

[@MrBEL-jf9iw]

A joy to wake up to, a new for me pattern. Thank you. I saw a post about you producing a "fly tying manual". I would buy several copies for Grandchildren and Sons. I have 2 daughter-in-law tyers as well. Thank for the pattern my friend.

Davie. You are a national treasure. 112,000 subscribers. Astonishing.

[@pierevojzola9737]

Hi Davie, beautiful example of steady hands typing a simple fly with lots of good ideas. Cheers mate. Harera

[@stevemorton9585]

Beautiful! Such a relaxing study in tying!Thanks Davie.

[@TEAMCATCHIN]

Amazing fly mate, caught a nice brown first time I tied and used it thanks for sharing.

[@crs1321]

Superb Davie, and great timing as I just bought a couple of boxes of 14 and 16 FM ultimate dry fly hooks so I'll be tying these up in time for the hatch. Had 5 brownies off my local loch last week using your silver humongous pattern and a DI7 line. Thanks for the tips. 🎣👏👍

[@tomharvey7436]

Nice one Davie thanks for the lesson it’s appreciated as always hope you and your family are much better

[@МихаМеталл]

Hi,it is very cool!!!Thank you for the lesson!!!Good luck!!!👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝

[@nickgough2993]

Perfect. Was planning to tie a few this afternoon as I’ve already been catching on your previous pattern. Thanks!

[@peterdavies164]

👏🏻 such a great standard that you set! Inspiring!! 🙏🏻

[@danielgroth3070]

Nice flie, and great tied 😊😊🥰👍

[@yvessultan6286]

Hello, an excellent variation of a classic model known in France as the "Cul Vert". In addition it must devilishly float well with the materials used! As always, a very nice edit. Happy Easter and all the best.

[@danieldavis2895]

Perfectly tyed as always thanks davie

[@leemowers9395]

Beautiful fly, thanks Davie

[@graemebrown1191]

[@JP24Mich]

Great looking fly, can't wait to give it a go.

[@robertcurrie10]

Amazing tying as usual

[@louiginozaia]

Trop beau BRAVO 👍

[@janoshuszar5927]

Thanks Davie and Happy Easter for you 🥚🍖🥃💂‍♂️

[@davidfraser4083]

Lovely modern pattern Davie. I've tied them for years with the old style materials for the upper Clyde. I'll certainly tie some and save money and time on Floatant. Cheers Big Davie

[@manuellozanoortega9407]

Bonita mosca, y pescadora. Gracias Davie!

[@Gazftp]

Perfect fly for right now cheers

[@krallmi48]

I did enjoy it, Davie... thank you. Our western Grannoms are coming... "The Mother's Day Caddis". I've got some weeks yet to get some tied. Mike

[@mealex303]

I must have blown my phone screen 5 times during this

[@michaeljmckinnon2960]

great work as always Sir. I have more luck fishing caddis patterns than trying to catch a may fly hatch where the fish are always finicky. Hope you are feeling better ....well wishes from New Scotland

[@jackreeves3001]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing! KANSAS USA

[@MyPancho1]

A treat! Thanks, Davie

[@ИгорьОсминкин-к3ф]

Как всегда отличная работа.👍

[@johnglennon4245]

Great one! Thanks

[@ibana8449]

Love watching Davie at work, but I would struggle to get a size 16 hook out the packet, let alone a line through it.

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Looks good enough to eat:-)

[@comesahorseman]

😄 you can pack more stuff on the front of the hook.... 😅

[@alencargoncalves2497]

Maravilha Maravilha show Mestre gênio Maravilha um abraço fica com deus

[@kerrypitt9789]

This view doesn't help Davie, I have watched it several times. This is one of my favorite patterns to use for pretty much anything!! I use dyed green Golden Pheasant neck feathers, but that is the only difference between ours.

[@letmeshowyousomething2649]

Remenisent of a tactical egg laying cadice pattern named "The Inducer" likeing the inspiration. kindly Davie ya wee river rascal hehe.

[@АнатолийЗайцев-я1щ]

Великолепно 🤝👍

[@АлександрНовиков-ч2в5л]

[@ИринаБаранова-п8р]

👍👍👍

[@FlyTyer1948]

Beautifully buggy looking fly. Would you ever consider tying it without the deer hair wing for slower waters?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi FlyTyer1948, Yes I originally tyed them just with the cdc which I have in my box though the deer hair does keep them floating far longer..I'm glad you liked it.. All the very best Davie

[@ИгорьРоманов-б4ч]

Отличная мушка

[@QuiescentCookie]

I can't find any videos where you tie a wally wing pattern. Have you got one?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi PLAMaker, I am sorry I don't have a video on a Wally wing fly as it's a style I've never tyed before, maybe I should have a look at it as I have been asked before... All the very best Davie

[@nemesis2423]

hello sir, nice fly tying, I wanted to ask you where you find this color of foam

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi nemesis2423, I have attached a link to the foam I used in the video and I'm glad you liked the fly.. All the very best Davie www.fishersdirect.com/veniard-closed-cell-foam-sheet-4534-p.asp?_=&variantid=4540

[@nemesis2423]

Thx sir. Please continue to enchant us with your fly tying. take care of yourself and your loved ones

[@daleweller5193]

I have no idea what you did with the feather you trimmed?

[@Weestuart81]

Cracking flies big davie

[@mattp6355]

Can't seem to find spanflex in canada. I've heard wapsi changed manufacturers and now its not the nice smooth straight floss its basically now identicle to flexi floss. Do you know where to get that original smooth straight floss ?

[@mattp6355]

You sound a little stuffed up...hope ya feel better

[@DavieMcPhail]

Morning Matt, I'm still not 100% recovered from the covid virus but not far away though...I have attached a link to flymart.ca in Canada that sell the Uni-Flex which I like as I've used it many times over the years...I know it's not the original spanflex but I have to be honest it wasn't my favourite but there's so many versions out there now so I could use a different brand from the one that you you are looking for..I hope this is of some help to you.. All the very best Davie flymart.ca/product.aspx?product_id=474

[@davidwillacy4796]

Rather spiffing!!! Pip Pip Davie English Dave

[@bryanleith2955]

Where can I buy your flies

[@letmeshowyousomething2649]

E bay auction but you have to be willing to bid high. As well! Its a little like umm...to buy the kellogs as a pose to the supermarket own brand. 🧐👾🎣🧵

[@jakakolenc9827]

What's that dubbing called and where can i buy it?

[@foolsgold1975]

It's cdc dubbing, take the stands from waste cdc and keep in a bag

[@letmeshowyousomething2649]

one thing u can rely on Davie to provide is as far as exelnt comunication in matierials. i take it your intermediat or beginer? he makes it look easy but the reality is its a patient craft but watch the master at work also listen. next time your at the vice you too will tighter neater tie flies with a vault off pattens ... what coud better?//keep tight lines and good luck this sesson jaka
