Mr. McPhail, there is a vast difference in the ties of us mere mortals and you sir. Two things mesmerize me about your tying, how materials are at your command and your dedication to this channel for the benefit of so many.

Another great looking midge pattern. Thank you!

[@justinmcquaide4862]

I have watched 1000's of tying videos and I never seen anyone add a touch of red tinsel just before tying in the rest of the thorax . Great idea and as always you make it look so simple lol even with 140 thread !!!!

[@neilsives533]

Since I started to watch your fly tying Davie I have improved some what so a big thank you. its always nice to catch fish on a fly you have tied yourself.

[@FlyTyer1948]

A live midge never looked so lovely. I wonder if I should give a brace of them to my wife for Valentines Day? They would look great as earrings. ;-)

I always forget to keep it light. My first attempts at buzzers would've sunk the Graf Spey 🤪

Bravo again! How would you fish buzzers in a lake with a spinner rod? 👃👃👃

[@lawfish5270]

Chuck it under a bung/bobber. Add a small split shot or small swivel for additional weight to help sink the buzzer.

[@mortenthenorwegian2875]

@@lawfish5270 Thanks. Depth and speed? 👃👃

[@lawfish5270]

@@mortenthenorwegian2875 depth is a key factor for sure-perhaps the single most important factor-but sadly there is no universal answer. Here in British Columbia we often start within a foot of the bottom and gradually try progressively a little shallower until the fish say “yes”. So it is going to depend on the conditions, time of year, etc, so one must make decisions based on observation (a depth sounder/fish finder can be a great aid) and, often, trial and error. As for speed of retrieve, the most common is static presentation, wind drift, and a VERY slow hand twist retrieve.

[@mortenthenorwegian2875]

@@lawfish5270 British Columbia...WOW. I have been in Seattle several times. Where do you live and fish?

[@lawfish5270]

@@mortenthenorwegian2875 I live in the Greater Victoria area on the south of Vancouver Lake. I mostly fish small stocked local lakes around here, though I make the odd pilgrimage to the BC interior region for some higher quality stillwater fishing.
