Hey Davie, just been messing with rolled wing Dabbler colour variations and stuff and tied one Im very pleased with, I'm sure its been tied before haha but I just threw it together really. Ive uploaded a little video, its public view so anyone can see but I learnt to tie from only your videos Davie so Id be honoured if ya had a look even if you dont make a comment ect. Tying is something I. Enjoy as much and sometimes even more so than fishing and genuinely if this channel wasnt here Id never be able to do it. This is the best fly tying educational resource on the Internet... FACT!!!

Beautiful fly! Just got back from the river, and caught my first 3 trout on fly. Sorry just had to finally tell someone I've lifted my river curse. Thanks for your hard work and dedication.

I did enjoy it, Davie... and learned a few new things, too. Thank you. Mike

Nice fly Davie !! I used the sunburst on the normal Kate McLaren and it caught 90% of my brownies on lewis and on the lochs on the mainland. Keep up the good work,they're catching me plenty of fish!!

Excellent Davie again and really good to know that it works on the Llyn Brenig of which I am a season ticket holder so will certainly give that one a go as the first dropper with a bushy point F Fly

Great flie, i love it, what kind of fish Can i Target with that bad boy???

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Chief Lizard, This fly works really well for rainbows and brown trout though it would certainly take other species...I'm glad you liked the fly.. All the very best Davie...

Beautifull fly, but i don´t know if this patterm will be effective in the spanish rivers

Beautiful pattern with a modern twist! What is your favorite situation to use this fly in? River, lochs or both?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Trouthorn, It's a great loch fly especially for rainbows but I'm sure it would fish just as well in the rivers...I'm glad you liked it.. All the very best Davie..
