Tying a Teal Blue & Silver (Wet Fly) with Davie McPhail.

[@lindatelford7405]

Been tying this fly for years and never used this winging method. So simple and effective. Thank you

[@aurelienlinnenkamp9885]

So beautiful, so good....bravo Mr Davie.

[@DonieG1]

Davie, top class fly as per usual. For years I've been struggling with teal wings and only last night I was tying a Peter Ross but had more teal on the bench than on the wing, trying to fold and bend the teal. Thanks a million for showing us such an easy method for doing it. Keep up the great work your doing. Cheers, Donie Goulding, Cork City.

[@JohnAmidon-c6r]

A good tutorial, thank you! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@dannymcg8300]

Stunning fly Davie. Nicely tied and very well explained. Great tip on the wing. Many thanks.

[@tellitlikeitis-rg4ny]

To this day learned so much davy thanks

Really a good wet fly for trout, here in the lowland creeks in Norway. For salmon there is also a fly called "telemarkskongen" (the king of Telemark) the only difference is the size of course, and that the tail is a red tag, and not golden phesant....

[@sergioometti6720]

Great, simple pattern... this fly has given me my best sea trout in sweden!!!

[@1Batt]

Well done.. That is a beautifully colored fly.. I will try this on sea run cutthroat trout here in Washington state this fall. They love the Jack Dennis spruce fly patterns so I am guessing this one will be a smashing success as well.. Thx, and again well done..

[@808smellycat]

Thank you so much. I absolutely love these classic wet flies and am looking fowaord to more of them.

[@jonmath1]

Wets do not seem to be as popular as they once were in the States; but they are an enjoyable way to fish and still productive on any given day. Great Fly Davie! Jon

[@dakotau2575]

Simple pattern, yet, still a beautiful fly that I'm certain works quite well. Nice Davie.

[@keithcorodimas8093]

Beautiful flea, Davie.

[@lovetospey]

Cheers Davie GREAT VID Can't wait for your next vid

[@smickerflies]

excellent tye davie, and so simple, a great starter fly, any chance of a few more irish pattern salmon flies, your dollaghan fly was a wee belter i caught some lovely wild brownies last week on it biggest about 2 lb weight, put them all back a great weeks fishing, happy wrappings, davey, antrim.

[@hatsujoki]

Gorgeous fly. Elegant in its simplicity as well. I bet it would slay Pacific Coho out here on teh west coast of Canada. Will tie some up and report back. :-)

[@OldBear5255]

Hello Davie. Very nice mate.

[@TheVancouverMan]

It is amazing to note the evolution of the sport, eh? Once classic wets were a staple in the brook trout streams of the northeast, and if fact many patterns were originated from there. (check out Ray Bergman's flies, for instance.) And then think about modern flies today with giant articulated streamer patterns used out west, as well as the myriad of nymphs for pretty much every piece of water in the world. It makes us tiers very very happy.

[@freedomofabird]

Good vid Davie, I ended up getting myself a Snowbee flymate vice in the end, which is probably about all I need to start with.

[@emson263]

beautiful work man !

[@rabc6481]

Hi Davie what a great fly this one is lovey your tying of it, Davie I am looking to find the right pattern so I can tye the RS Super Snaelda

[@bohumirhrncir1078]

🇨🇿CZ. 👀👍🏻 super 👍🏻👋🏻

[@seandoyle2391]

Hi i just wanted to know what vice you are using and also do you know of anyany effective fly patterns for south of france ?Great job by the way.

[@MrAthlunkard]

hi dave lovely fly well done . dave im looking for fliex body to tie the baits nymph and what colour were may i purchased it you might tie one some time thank you mr athlunkard

[@josephronan5049]

Can you use mallard instead of teal in sea trout patterns

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Joseph, Yes definitely, tye a few with a bronze mallard wing as they can fish just as well at times, it's also worth tying some with a gold or even a copper body when using the bronze mallard.. All the very best Davie..

[@brownsteveroy]

Hi Davie. Can I buy a dvd of your teal blue and silver from anywhere or can I download it at all. Thank you for your expert teaching.

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Steve, I don't have a dvd of the Teal Blue and Silver, many do download the videos and don't ask but if you want to then I don't mind as long as it is for your own personal use, so thank you for asking.. All the very best Davie...

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Steve, Ernie can download any of my videos with my 100% permission to view whenever he wants and if you can send me a private message with your address then I would be very happy to send Ernie a wee present from me and a note saying thank you for being a fan of my videos and the flies I tye.. It is very kind of you to allow Ernie to watch them especially when you are not interested in fishing... All the very best

[@niall441]

Nice!!

[@jparryprodeal]

Hi Davie, What is the difference for use for the bend eye of the hook and the straight eye hooks. Thanks

[@bluezshark]

beautiful tying as usual Davie,,i`ve got a questions for you if you dont mind,, what is the wax you use ? i see it on your finger in other various videos too. Regards bluezshark

[@fionahamulton5774]

Bubble float and fly loch earn, good old days, this fly really worked with a maggot attched

[@TheCanary24]

👍

[@chuckarooful]

Hi Davie, since starting to tye my own flies at the start of the year I have been an avid follower of your fantastic videos.. keep 'em comin :) Watching them being tied by yourself has only been an invaluable lesson. I was wandering how well you rate this fly in targeting dollaghan as I intend to fish for them over the coming weeks. I saw your dollaghan fly (looks great) but what other flies might you suggest I tye to target this species of trout? much appreciated, thanks in advance, Charlie.

[@spyuggy]

Hi Davie, I have watched most of your videos and get great delight in tying (I do my best) your style of flies, but I cannot download this one, is there a reason for this? as I certainly would like to give it a try.

[@ottarfinnsson9368]

Hey Davie are you coming to Iceland in the fishing store Veiðiflugur?

[@mize6544]

Hello Davie. I have already watched many of your videos and must say that you have done a great job, as thy are all very informative. I live in the Southeast US and primarily fish brown and rainbow trout. Seeing as how many of your salmon patterns seem like they'd work well for trout, I was wondering which you would recommend?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Michael Robinson, The Teal Blue and Silver would be a good choice, others worth a go are the Dunkled, Blue Charm, Goats Toe, Thunder & Lightning, Sweeny Todd, Dark Mackrel and the Small Jock Scott. Although to be honest you can tye most salmon flies to a size that would suit fishing for trout as many have done...I'm glad you enjoy watching the videos and thank you for your kind words... All the very best Davie

[@Benj3897]

Did you dye the hackle yourself or buy it that color? Either way how did you get it and how could I get some? Thanks, Ben

[@raymondlam2273]

what is that black string you used to wrap the hook in called?

[@ajblythe]

Can you list the materials used for this fly and the size of the hook

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi ajblythe, Here is a list of the materials to tye the teal blue and silver.. Thread, Uni-8/0 Black Tail, Golden Pheasant Tippet, Rib, Fine Silver Wire, Body, Silver Tinsel, Hackle, Teal Blue Hen, Wing, Teal. I have tyed this fly in many sizes but the most useful is sizes 10s 12s and 14s.. All the very best Davie..

[@ajblythe]

Thanks for taking the time to list the materials. I am a new tyer. I love the flies you tie and thanks for sharing.

[@ajblythe]

Thank you so much Davie, do appreciate your sharing all your beautiful flies

[@itsunicornsandkaylahrainbo7118]
