That’s a mighty fine looking fly there Davie. I still don’t have any doubles in my stock but when I get a few I’ll give this one a go. Thank you for another one dude.

[@pierevojzola9737]

Hi Jamie, nice looking fly, illegal in my waters and I do prefer barbless hooks. Keep them coming! Cheers mate. Harera

[@Avicados]

Are you in the states too!? I find the European fly tying styles so interesting, specifically the usage of double hooks. Beautiful fly.

[@kenelliott6458]

Great looking fly mate. Glad to see you and your family are doing well. When will you be tying some classic wet flies. Would like to see you tye some of Ray Bergman flies. Thanks for sharing with us all my friend. Best Regards, Ken

[@malcolmhenry1091]

Could this fly be tied on larger hooks or is it best to keep it small

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Malcom, Yes I'm tying them up to a size 6...ATB Davie..

[@malcolmhenry1091]

@@DavieMcPhail thanks I must give it a try on a size 8 as it's all i have at the min.👍

beautyfull looking

[@stevegoodchild409]

Hey Davie just looking back for some Tyne smaller fly inspirations - this one looks really top draw - Davie question if you wanted heavier small flies could you use lead wire ? Happy 40 years :)) well done

[@letmeshowyousomething2649]

Hi Davie. i have a trouble when tyeing double hoooks(lop-sidded flys)... i do realise there are no magical qualites to the catching ability of doubles so im'e guessing its for the wieght it affords. so my question is. Does adding lead wire to the same sise singular hook affect the way the fly swims, as currently this is the method i use. or in fact are there other alturnitives? thanks for your time Jimi

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Jimi, I have added lead to hooks for friends in the past just to give the fly a little extra weight...Though I personally just use weighted tubes like alloy, copper and even tungsten to get down to suit the water height and speed.. All the very best Davie..

[@jesseharju]

Magnificent fly! Definitely gonna tie couple of these flies 👍
