Tying the MacKenzie Cascade (Salmon Fly) with Davie McPhail

[@dannymcg8300]

Superb fly Davie. Very well tied and explained as always. Many thanks for sharing.

[@cuansmusic]

Thanks Davie. The cutting short of the bucktail before tying in is a great tip. I was wondering why my flies all had huge heads!

[@paulkennedy667]

Excellent video tutorial, and of course all the right materials and tools..educational indeed... 👍😊

Nice work Davie 👍👍

[@rosswatchorn2224]

Hi Davie. Great video as always. You mentioned that you have tied this on a tube. How would you transfer this style of fly on to a tube? Thanks.

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Ross, I would tye it exactly the same way as it would still sit and fish well, I'm glad you liked it as it's a great pattern to have in your box... All the very best Davie

[@rosswatchorn2224]

Thanks for the advice Davie, much appreciated. Best wishes Ross

[@davidalexander987]

Great looking fly must tie a few of them

[@Pete.108]

Awesome Davie

[@ottokrans3896]

Very nice fly! What size hook did you use? Regards

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Otto Krans, I normally tye them on size 6s, 8s and 10s though they would work in almost any size of hook..I'm glad you liked it... All the very best Davie

[@michaeljmckinnon2960]

[@paulclark1309]

Love your videos Davie have learned so much from them. Can you do me a huge favour? The NessC is becoming really popular on the Tyne, any chance you could do a tutorial on one please pal? Many thanks

[@allanmackenzie2531]

Hi there, is there anywhere I can buy this fly? I would like 2 if possible, thanks x

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Allan Mackenzie. If you know someone that tye's salmon flies I'm sure they will be able to tye you a couple as most of the materials are very easy to find.. All the very best Davie...

[@CoLbEeBrYaN]

Dear Davie, What kind of knot would you suggest using with an up eye single shank Spey fly? Atb Colbee

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Colbee, Knots like the tucked blood, turle and the rapala work well with an up eyed hook.. All the very best Davie..

Здравствуйте , Davie ! Очень многому учусь по вашим видео ,спасибо вам большое. В моём городе, благодаря вам , мои изделия очень нравятся людям. Подскажите пожалуйста ,где можно приобрести такие двойники для лососёвых ?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi, Юрий Кузнецов, I am glad that you enjoy my videos and thank you for the kind words..I translated your message through google but what I think you are asking is what double hook I used so I have attached a link to them for you to see.www.farlows.co.uk/partridge-patriot-double-up-eye-cs16u-2-hook.html I hope this is of some help to you.. All the very best Davie..

[@ЮрийКузнецов-э1д]

@@DavieMcPhail , большое спасибо за информацию.

[@liljohnwhitetiger]

I noticed the yellow handled tying scissors you use. Who is the manufacturer?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Craig, They are Loon Razor Scissor, I have attached a link to them for you to see... All the very best Davie.. loonoutdoors.com/product/razor-scissors-4in/

[@liljohnwhitetiger]

Thank you Sir. I enjoy your videos very much. I study your tying technique and I have learned much in how to tie more traditional style atlantic salmon flies as well as soft hackles and spiders along with all styles of trout flies. I hail from Northern Michigan and as such I do not have many applications for some of the traditional atlantic flies, but I love trying to tie them and in the process refine my fly tying skills to an art form as you and so many others have. Thank you so much for sharing your passion and expertise with the rest of us.

[@georgeb6412]

Love it davie ,I will have to tie a few of these, brilliantly tied thanks again. I was wondering if you will be at the G,A,C open day at the end of the month ?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi George, It is a lovely fly to tye and it does fish really well but you can't go wrong with these colours as you know..I'm sorry I'll not be at the G.A.C at the end of the month I'm just too busy.. All the very best Davie...

[@easer777]

What is it that "make" a Cascade fly a cascade fly, in the few videos I have just watched, I have notised that You use a throat, rather than a hackle, is thát one cascade thing....??? I have heard of flies being tied "cascade style", and from memory, I have always experienced them as sort of "wild", often with a great distance from the rear of the fly and the front, but You don't seem to tie them like thát....? Salmon fishing forum's monthly competition have "Cascade" as theme, just to explain why I ask....;- )

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Bjarke Strøm, This is a version of the original Cascade, there are many out there and as you said in the Cascade or even Ally's shrimp style...The original dressing as far as I believe is Tag, Oval Silver Tinsel Tail, Orange and Yellow Bucktail and Pearl Krystal Flash Rib, Oval Silver Tinsel Body, Silver Tinsel and Black Floss in Equal Parts Wing, Silver Krystal Flash and Dyed Black Squirrel Hackles Yellow and Hot Orange Hen or Cock Head, Black I hope this is of some help to you and good luck in the competition.. All the very best Davie
