Thanks dave so much

[@fabianmartin7126]

. Great fly! It looks like it should do the trick with trout as well.

[@colinnicholl4587]

All the very best for 2017 Mr Mcphail a learning student lol

[@txflytier]

Hi Davie Absolutely beautifiul flies. I really like them, the profile is great. I will have to try them out, I think I will try to ty and ty some on a hook shank and cut the bend off and put a stinger hook hanging out the back. What is the lengths do you ty this in, and what size hooks do you use with them? All the best Chance

[@30gills]

Davie I was recently reading an article about tying flies and I mentioned using a para loop in the tying process. Can you tie a fly using a para loop so as I can learn. I would also like to know how to be able to use ice dub as a wing case to pullover or pull forward on a nymph Thanks

[@МихаМеталл]

👏👏👏👍👍👍

[@mrmints84]

I'd love to see you try some Big Bass bugs. I know you probably don't have any bass where you are though.

[@michaelkborozan4121]

I was wondering if you ever substitute in synthetic craft fur to help make it weigh less and retain less water? Thx!

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Michael Klint Borozan, I have used a few synthetic furs but mostly in saltwater flies which do work fine. It certainly would be worth adding it to a few of these flies but we just need to get the right colours and lengths for them to work.. All the very best Davie

[@EclecticDiscus]

Someone needs to come up with a good Sub for jungle Cock, imitation or an easy make from another feather. Nothing worse than people not using easy to find available materials. Nice fly!

[@brendentalbot8809]

Their is synthetic jungle cock at all my local fly shops

[@uelstewart3339]

Hi dave wat do you call the section of tubing the hooks attached to thanks.

Hi Uel Stewart, It's the sleeving, I have attached a link to some for you to see... All the very best Davie... www.sportfish.co.uk/silicone-rubber-tubing.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8L3a962u3AIVpLDtCh1IUQ4rEAQYASABEgL5GvD_BwE

[@fabianmartin7126]

I'd cast that fly for migrant brown and rainbow trout any given April in Patagonia,

[@mrmints84]

Hi Davie. I don't tie a lot of tube flies and the equipment I use to tie them isn't the proper stuff but I manage. The problem I keep having though is that after I spend a bunch of time and tie what I think is a beautiful and tight fly, the tube gets stuck on the needle and no matter what I do, I can't pull it off without damaging all of my work. What do you think I am doing wrong? is my needle too big? ( I'm just using a regular bodkin that I bent to fit into my vice), should I lubricate the needle? Thanks for any help.

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Jamie, I had lots of problems with the coloured tubing especially when it first came on the market.. It was very soft so it would do this with me much as it has with you as I couldn't pull it off the needle so I used a stiffer tubing especially the inner which would stop this happening..The tubing I used in the video is a solid tubing so it needs no inner and is very strong it's especially good in very cold waters in Russia and Norway..So I would recommend you using a stiffer tubing if you can source some.. All the very best Davie..

Happy hogmanny when it comes davie.
