I’m new to fly fishing. Started in April. You’ve inspired me to start tying my own flies! Priceless. I hope to order some tying supplies soon. Love the videos man! You do a great job. Best I’ve seen.

Very nice davie ,i'v been waiting a couple of years for you to tye this one but it was worth it , cheers and all the best.

[@marcod591]

I’m quite looking forward to giving this one a try. I’ve never seen a caddis pattern like this, but I’m sure it’s both fun to fish and to tie. Thanks!

[@paulus0109]

Very simple, looks effective! Thnx Davie

[@simonsmith3867]

I look forward to trying this pattern, cracking tying as always, thank you! I have used a cream (the peeping bit) version with a ball on a bent pin holding the weight. This is far more elegant and interesting, as normal.

Hi, I made some for me and my friend last week, using white wool and we both caught on them. Thanks again

[@Aloistruebner]

stunning pattern!! thanks for sharing!!!!

[@fliesbychris]

I'll give that one a try when I get me some jig hooks!!! Nice caddis Davie

[@davidprice5707]

Thanks Davie, I'm going to try this one.

[@elduderoony8171]

hehehe..... another one for me to try! I’ve got some jig force so I’ll just scrounge up some wool from a neighbour! lol Nice tie Davie and, as always, thank you.

[@bjrnj.larsen9658]

Think I have to tie this one - thanks for the inspiration Davie.

[@Vincentdonnelly5158]

Another gem.

[@ipod1978]

I’d say that would be very effective. Very nice pattern

[@kiyoshilengyel4747]

nice pattern Daviesan..thnx.4sharing!! ;))

[@jsboyle3459]

Nice fly👍🏻

[@shawnbarry3893]

Love this fly 🇺🇸

[@bentpolski]

Davie wouldn't reversing the Partridge legs be more appropriate? I'm going to My Vise now!

[@birrapampa]

Cute fly!!

[@user-zw9ep2fd8b]

very good👏 Очень хорошо. 👍

[@joeduca8582]

Excellent as always. Davie have you ever heard of a "peeping" style caddis pattern that uses a sliver of foam in place of the yarn to better insure the hook end is presented to the fish? Thanks and ATB!

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Joe, I've not tyed one with foam instead of the wool though it would make sense to tye a few as I'm sure it would work really well or even better at times..I'm glad you liked it.. All the very best Davie...

[@josemiguelabscallopez3103]

Curious pattern. Thanks

Superbe !! ;-)

[@mariemeredith1234]

Is yarn just common knitting wool yarn? I am having trouble finding chartreuse. Any suggestions?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Morning Marie, I did a quick search this morning and found this wool which looks great and it's a good price as well..Link below.. All the very best Davie weglow.pt/en/decor/36-fluorescent-wool.html

Хороший ручейник.

[@user-yn4ph1bz8e]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@JoshOsReef]

Brilliant tie as ever Davie, what size bead do you recommend for size 12 to 16 hooks? Cheers

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Josh, I've used 2.5mm and 3mm on a size 12 but never tyed this pattern down to a size 16 though I have used 2mm and 1.5mm beads on a size 16 for this size..I'm glad you enjoyed the video.. All the very best Davie..

[@JoshOsReef]

I've just finished tying my first fly so very much a beginner, the help is hugely appreciated!

[@trido6059]

Good thing I understand what's going on, but gaaaawd dang that accent is thick.

[@mountaincreekfliesjimmy8386]

Do you have to use green?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Jimmy, Olive, Cream, Yellow, Orange and even pink are all worth a go as I have tyed them in these colours over the years and they have all caught fish for me and many friends.. All the very best Davie....

[@mountaincreekfliesjimmy8386]

Davie McPhail thank you sir
