4 years watching, 3 years tying .... I’m catching on thanks to the many great videos you produce. Thank you sooo much, Davie!

Great video. Especially for younger or new tyers who may not have the money to keep buying expensive skins. Also great for guys and gals like me who might hate to waste even the smallest of feathers. I did cry a little when you used the Pearsalls for the pupa but that's just me. 😉

I havent seen a partridge feather used this way before. What a wonderful fly pattern!
@sirmegallot327611 ай бұрын
I liked both patterns a lot, especially using the partridge feather as a wing case on the pupa!

That Caddis Pupa is perfect. Maybe in a future video you can show them wet so we know how they look in the water?

Great pro tip on the YLI thread. Also, it says Rock Hill, SC on the older spool you showed. I actually went to college in that little town. And, let me tell you, it is not a silk thread kind of town :)

Perhaps your audience would benefit from this: I've bought most of my silks online from a company called superior threads when my local fly shop is out of silks. They have 2 products of threads that are suitable for fly tying. The silk one is called Kimono Silk and it has the thickness of a 6/0 or 72d. its a double stranded thread and thus can be separated into two lengths of half. I find it quite easy to tie with and it has decent strength, furthermore one can get it in 220 yard spool, or a 1092 yard mini-cone spool. The other product is a polyester thread called microquilter its about 100d, however if i'm going to tie with polyester i'd just as soon use a standard tying thread. =) Hope that helps someone.

Hi @HalfInsaneOutdoorguy, I've not tried these silk threads so I did a search and found some and they look great and the colours look very nice as well so I might buy some to see what they are like...Thanks for sharing this.. www.barnyarns.co.uk/thread/superior-threads/silk/kimono-100-220yd-reels/ All the very best Davie

Enjoyed that Davie as always. However, when you dressed the Caddis Pupae with Partridge remnants thought you would incorporate the most overlooked filoplump feather!!
@DavieMcPhail11 ай бұрын
Hi @Adipper, I know I lost the feather I wanted to use so I just used one that was close to me and it didn't have any fluff on it..I'm glad you enjoyed the video.. All the very best Davie
@Adipper11 ай бұрын
Thanks Davie. Although delicate, I really like incorporating filoplume as underwing of Caddis Pupae. It moves extremely well in water and when treated will engulf air bubble like natural. Love your content. Heavy hatches!!

Many of us have gotten so stuck into tying more complicated flies, that we have forgotten that we can use two basic materials and catch trout and Grayling quite easily.

Excellent video davie i make small caddis wings from the cut off tips add some fluff to my dubbing and use the aftershaft feather for thorav i hate to waste materials too tks 😊

Davie do you ever use cobblers wax on p 2:03 ersalls silk especially primrose for greenwells and other. You tied these up very good as you allways do

Hi Paul, No they are for the monthly draw that I do each month as I give away a box of flies as well as the flies I tye over that month.. All the very best Davie..
@taylorhorsman363211 ай бұрын
Would you use the caddis as the point fly is you were fishing these as a team of wets? What might be a thrid fly you'd add to the team?
@DavieMcPhail11 ай бұрын
Hi Taylor, It would fish well on the point though it can be fished anywhere on the cast. I also like it tyed off the bend of a good dry fly like a klinkhamer or a Dynamite Harry as it's not too heavy and fishes well in the first couple of feet of water.. All the very best Davie..

I have been trying to find a good video on a gunslinger. If you need suggestions on tying patterns to do.

I've always wondered what the "varnish" product is, does anyone know? I don't typically see anything labelled varnish in fly shops here (Australia).
@DavieMcPhail11 ай бұрын
Hi Daniel, I use Veniards cellar clear varnish along with their bottle that has a brush though I do cut it into a point to make it easier to apply, I also use their thinners which helps keep the varnish from going too thick...I have attached a link to it for you to see.. www.veniard.com/cellire/p/5611 All the very best Davie
