great tying again davie i''ll fill my box with some of these thanks for the masterclass again

[@Cream-z3o]

With this fly, there is little air resistance, and I can cast it to the spot I want. It is a durable fly that is easy to tie even for beginners, and I think it is an excellent small fly. 😊

Davie I know you said in the video as to it does not matter as to your dubbing color . I am new to tying flies since December 26th of 2017 and I am looking for new flies to tie and I loved this video it seemed so simple to tie. But can I use orange, red, yellow(gold), pink , purple I list these colors as to being a little bit easier for me to see.(hi-viz) . Thank you again great video and I did subscribe!

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Stephen, The best colours to use for flies like this would be yellow, most greens/olives, brown, grey, most shades of these colours from light to dark though red would work at times as well..Thank you for subscribing and I wish you well with your new hobby which I know you will enjoy especially when you start to catch fish on your own flies... All the very best Davie...

[@MegaMeerforelle]

kannst Du bitte eine Material Liste einfügen, Danke!?

[@DGAF2000]

[@WEESTRAWZ]

Hi Davie, i remember reading on one of your other videos about a guy asking what varnish you use and you replied with a fly tying varnish and also a womans varnish, can you tell me what the name of this womans varnish is as i have forgotton(silly me :P) and cant find the comment on the video. Thanks for all the help, ~David

@DavieMcPhail oh thank you i just got my fly tying equipment im very new to this:)

[@ejones4765]

Does the ' F ' stand for Fratnik by any chance please Davie?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Dewi Jones, As far as I believe it does as the F-fly was originally tyed by a gentleman called Marjan Fratnik.... All the very best Davie

[@ejones4765]

+Davie McPhail There is also a fly named ' The Fratnick ' on youtube, is it the same fly?

[@troutmc1000]

Hi Davie you must get asked this question a lot but where do you get this dubbing (snowshoe)

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi patrick mc carthy, The original Snowshoe rabbit feet I bought in America but you can buy it here in the UK as well, all I do is remove and mix the fur when I need it for dubbing... All the very best Davie www.lathkill.com/shop/index.php?categoryID=215

[@ThePicturizer]

I'm looking for a good small dry fly for grayling in October, fishing northern German creeks, that are not very fast and have pretty clear but brownish water. Lot's of agriculture here. We have grayling, but they are hard to catch. This one seems pretty good for that purpose, what do you think? Thanks again for your great flies. I'm a huge fan of your flies and videos! All the best from Hamburg Stefan

[@DoruIlcus]
