I watch very many fly tyers Davie, and all in all, Skills, quality end product, and presentation with advice, You Davie are the very best. Take care friend.

Great timing Davie, I planned on tying something like that for this season. I've little black stone or needle flies float down the creek I fish early in the season. I was thinking of going in a different direction with the tie but this pattern is superb. I think it would kill both in the film and drowned. Awesome thanks my friend!

Terrific fly Davie. Thank you for sharing.

Interesting pattern 👍

[@jandlzyla2047]

Thanks Davie. I could watch you tie for ever. But, I'll tie this fly myself, instead of watching you.

Sweet fly. Thanks Davie! (another one I’ve got to get to grips with! lol) 🤔

[@paulus0109]

Thnx for the tips.

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Great little pattern, I will tie them for both small stones and Caddis works well for both :-)

[@OldBear5255]

Super looking cdc fly mate. The bookies would kill for that over here. Going to put some of them in my box. How would those lookin in a light or dark olive my friend. Thanks for sharing two great videos with us all. Best Regards, Ken

Hola Davie, te saludo y te cuento que estoy usando la cera, un apicultor me regaló un trozo de cera estampada de las que usan ellos para poner en las colmenas, luego las abejas se ocupan de formar los opérculos y llenarlos de miel.-La diferencia de usar cer y no usarla es notable, quedan mucho más firmes los elementos que van cubriendo el anzuelo.- Si no te molesta va una nueva pregunta: Que significa CDC ?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi César Julio Videla Alfonso, CDC is short for Cul de Canard which is French for ducks bottom, these flies actually come from the preen gland which is on the back of the duck..I've not used bees wax myself though I'm sure it would be fine, the nearest wax to the one that I use is cobblers wax which should give you a lot more grip.... All the very best Davie..

@@DavieMcPhaillak, gracias, ahora lo asocié con lo que dicen los españoles atadores de moscas, que se refieren a esas plumas como "plumas de culo de pato" que vienen a ser las del rabo del pato. Gracias por desasnarme ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

Nice fly's I'll try ... thing is at mo i have partridge sise 24 dry fly or sise ten nimph. Now dont laff when i tell you I'm gonna try on the sise 24 but im a novice of less than two years! But hears the killer ive been getting red hot lately on some of yours and Martin whites tutorials ( to be honest, apart from an indian fella name mak flies the rest are knuckle heads who wallop on in anoying fake voices like the whole process is a peace of piss) you know how tricky it is to create a tidy realistic puppet to fool a while trout. As a novis . But i got patience a snowbee fly mate. A desent camer and a chance to say thankyou so much for your tme and effort and hopefully ill be able to show you a great tie a fly.. looks when taught by the best tight lines and God bless you Davie.
