Thanks again Davie, I will try to tie this one up and add another great pattern to my skill set and fly box. You sir, will live forever in fishing stories shared between family and friends as we talk about the fish we catch on the flies that we learned to tie from you, Davie McPhail. Thanks again, and much respect to you for sharing.

I’ve been following your channel for years, Davie. You’ve improved my tying skills more than all other sources combined! Thank You!

Wow! Looks so complicated but for some reason I feel confident in giving this one a go. Thank you for another beauty Davie. You’re a gem.....

Beautiful tye.

[@OldBear5255]

Another great fly for the fly box. The trout and bookies would modern that one. Thank you very much Davie for another one from the Master. Best Regards, Ken😊😊🍺

There is a reason I get alerts from your posts! I need to tie up some Drakes and this is exactly the lesson I needed. :-) Outstanding work Davie! Thanks for posting. This pattern will definitely be going in the box! I feel like I owe you a cold indigenous beverage or a cup of tea. :-) Make it a great one.

I was always a bit wary of trying a detached body fly but you explained it perfectly Davie, thanks for that!!. I've been trying out some bead eyed damsel type nymphs, have you got anything in your video box of wonders?. ATB Chris.

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Chris, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I do have a few glass eyes for tying damsels and I do have it listed to tye this winter so I'll see what I can do for you... All the very best Davie

[@fliesbychris]
