Tying the Bibio Diawl-Bach by Davie McPhail.

[@dano956]

I never thought about trimming herl, can’t wait to try it.

[@door2yourheart]

Diawls have been working really well for me lately, even when fished on the surface! This one will be joining the team! Thanks Davie

[@50Squirrel]

Love your tying videos! I’ll be tying this one now!

[@scm256]

Loved the look of this fly as soon as in saw it. Tied some up and it's been a great fly on a dropper under a suspended buzzer.

[@CeeDeeLeigh]

Has to be one of the best Diawl Bach patterns out there!! Cheers Davey

[@ejones4765]

No problem Davie. I so look forward on a daily basis for you to put videos on youtube. How do you choose a left and right wing from a peacock herl full tail please? Would you do a video for me showing this especially the actual cutting of the wings, as this in so many of your flies are done below the camera.

Just got red herl from smg fishing at newhouse fishery today for these , davie if you passing well worth a trip in some selection my new favourite place for tying stuff

[@varkskiet]

Another great one Davie, Thanks again. The daiwl-bach is not a common pattern over here in the US, but I've been using it since you did the original last year. It is really a productive pattern for me and I especially like the expression on peoples faces when I tell them what I'm using. All the Best, Mark

@DavieMcPhail i think it was called the "ice queen"

[@Loyalist-ul6qm]

Question can you fish these on their own thanks in advance all the very best davie.

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Loyalist 1407, Yes you can if you want to as these flies work great...ATB Davie

[@pablothetim]

Hi Davie, Thanks for all your excellent videos, learning from them has helped me improve my tying a lot since I started a few months ago. I think this is a nice variation on the diawl bach that I'd like to tie, but am finding it impossible to find the red peacock herl, I've tried ebay, and asking in my local tackle shop, and all the websites I buy materials from but no-one has it. Do you have any more information on where you got yours from, or what brand was on the packet? Cheers, Paul

[@Hellbeastrock]

Hello Davie Do you have a place from where to buy Kamasan hooks in pack's of 100 Thanks Marian

[@ZombiePig100]

what can i use insted of hen hackle?

[@123siluro]

hello Davie, are the legs really needed? I mean, would the fish see them?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Geert Vanmol, I would say it does add movement to the fly but I remember fishing a diawl-bach to a point that I was left with very little material on the hook and it still kept catching fish, so it's up to you as I'm sure it will still work... All the very best Davie

[@bikerbrandon1]

What do you use for wax?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Bikerbranon1, I have attached a link to the wax I use, it comes from Veniards they are a wholesale company so any shop that stocks their materials will be able to help you... All the very best Davie... www.veniard.com/product4276/section9/

[@aidanlofty9714]

davey can a piece of dubbing be used instead of red peacock hearl?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Aidan Lofty, Yes dubbing would work just as well as the herl... All the very best Davie

A Royal Coachmans cute little sister

[@ejones4765]

Why isn't the tail tied directly on top please Davie?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Dewi Jones, It should be on top but you are right it does look like a couple of fibres are on the side which I didn't notice thanks for saying so...ATB Davie

[@crazyscottishbloke14]
