This video filmed POV really helps my fly fishing patients find comfort at end of life. Thank you.
I really enjoy going fishing with you, Davie. For health reasons, I have not been able to fish this year, except with you! Thank you, Keith (from Virginia)
Hi Keith,
I am sorry to hear that you are not well enough to get out to fish but I am glad you have found my video a way to come along with me as from now I will certainly not be alone..The one thing that I have learnt from these videos is that many do enjoy them so I will try and do as many as I can before the season finishes..I hope you get well soon and get back on the water..
All the very best Davie
Quality stuff again Davie....And I love the fact that you WET you`re hands before you touch our precious wee Broonies..Magic.
Your videos are a source of happiness to myself and I imagine many others Davie. Love every one of them... true legend!
Thanks for taking me fishing davie due to health problems I can no longer fish the streams so it means a lot to me .tight lines.
I painfully know what you mean.............
Hi Burton Brocious,
I am sorry to hear you are not well enough to go fishing so you are very welcome to come along with me anytime, I hope that you will get back to fishing very soon..Many thanks for the kind words..
All the very best Davie..
Great, Davie! Enjoyed every second! Watched it right off the bat with my morning coffee. Nobody is putting out fishing videos like this. You’re a one of a kind, sir! 🐟
Ian Gordon a great lover of the cadence rods
Really enjoyed this video Davie seeing your own flies in action on the wild brown trout..and well done for hooking into a grilse!... thanks so much to you for sharing your accumulated knowledge and experience..much appreciated👍
💙 A place great for fishing, so wild 😅
Great to be on the ‘’watter” with you davie I always like seeing the Ayrshire waters.Reminds me of home being an exile here in Cambridgeshire. I also love the fly tying, Grafham, Rutland are local here, big fish but not quite the same. Keep up the good work and stay well.
Lovely runs. That submerged branch was the undoing of you Davie. Great feeling to be in a big one - if only for a while - and on a 4wt rod also! You’re right - we miss a lot more trout using wet-fly - as the fish are facing upstream and we’re inclined to pull it too fast out of their mouth. My dad (RIP) - taught us as beginners - to keep the rod tip ‘higher’ and let the fly swallow by ‘dipping’ the tip on a bite for a second longer than on drys - before engaging when fishing wets. Thanks - great videos.
Lovely , peaceful and relaxing hour watching you on this gem of a river . Many thanks Davy🎣🎣
What a cracking bit of water there Davie ….
I’ve always enjoyed your tying videos and your fishing is equally enjoyable thank you for sharing
A fine days fishing there Davie. Enough wee fish to keep the interest going. Pity about that big yin, but that’s fishing. Great video.
Absolutely brilliant video, even the walk thru the woods at the start was stunning.
Absolutely stunning setting
Great way to start my day! Thank you for sharing!
Nicely handled rod Davie. Everything is well balanced. Beautiful river. Wild fish, the big ones must be the dickins.
hi good job love watching you fish at river doon and loch doon i live in maidens near turberry
Fantastic video Davie, so thankful to you for sharing your knowledge and skills. 👍🏻
Great video again sir love that way of fishing would have been nice to see that wee salmon but gave you bit fun
Many thanks for another couple of hours fishing with you Davie 👌
Davie it has been a real pleasure watching you tie flies and now demonstrate their use. Pity you did not land the Grisle which would have been amazing on the very light rod. I do miss my time fishing for Salmon and Sea Trout but do make up for it with some excellent river fishing here. Tight lines from open season in AUS.
Cheers for another very enjoyable video Davie, I also picked up a good few useful tips. I like the way you focus on the enjoyment of fishing itself and the appreciation of the river and its surroundings, rather than the latest fangled French leader setups or whatever they are!
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos and tight lines for what's remaining of the season 👍
Great video Davie. I tied a couple of your caddis pupa when you posted it and it did me well on Thursday when I couldn’t buy a bite any other way. My upstream wets still needs work but I’m really enjoying the practice. Downstream swinging wet flies is my new favourite thing to do!
Enjoyable to be fishing alongside you in this video Davie, especially swinging a caddis down and across. Down here in the South West ,the water has been over 16 Degrees too warn and trout a little stressed , also the fly life has diminished after the great abundance of hatches through May /early June . Small Caddis are starting to show late afternoons , bring on a few days of rain to liven the trout up a little.
The sound of that stream is so nice! Running water has been hard to come by lately in my neck of Texas. Cheers!
A nice morning's fishing - shame about the "monsters".....great video Davie, thanks! Best wishes from South Wales.
That is a good looking piece of water!
Loving these videos 😍
Great stuff ,Davie. Trout season, on streams, just opened here in Victoria, Aus. Your videos have me itching to get out there
Best week here in the early nineties had 33 Salmon. Doon is a great river . The Irish worm works well here.
Great fun Davie. Thanks.
Loved it Davie.
Awsome Davie stunning
Great session there Davie ✌
Great video
‘ here we are half way up ….. The Doon ….’ …….😂😂
Nice video
Thanks for sharing.... likely the only way I'll fish the River Doon....
Доброго времени суток! Дэви , благодарю за интересный ролик, класс!
Thanks for the wonderful videos, #DavieMcPhail I've learned so much from your tying and fishing! Your 'McPhail Caddis Pupa' from a ways back is still one of my favourite ties.
I've noticed on quite a few videos that many folks from Scotland, Scandinavia and upper parts of Europe usually fish on river left ( flow towards the back of the casting shoulder for a RH caster ) instead of casting a bit more upstream along the bank from river right, then getting a longer dangle after the rod tip passes by.
Am I just imagining things? 😄 Do you prefer fishing river left? I always find it a bit awkward to do so unless I'm swinging flies with a two-handed setup. Perhaps it was the only access?
Thanks again, and keep up the good work. Tight lines! 👏
Спасибо! 👍🎣
Nice video davie... i always fished the ayr when i was up the road, but i was lucky enough to try the doon for a day with my buddy wee colin pang. If your ever planning to visit and fish in Italy please let me know. There are many amazing places and fish waiting for you. All the best :)
Hi Mario,
I know Colin really well as he run a couple of the local fishery's, he's also a great chef as you may know...If I ever do get the chance to visit your beautiful country and you are near by I will certainly take you up on your kind offer...I am glad you enjoyed the video..
All the cert war Davie..
As you must be aware by now, I am a devoted fan - but, dear Davie, I understood about one word in six whilst you were walking. Bless you.
😅😄
Play it again Sam!
Hi Duofold,
I know the sound of me walking is a bit loud at times as the GoPro I am using has three mics and two are on the bottom of the camera. Because of this I am looking at recording the sound on a separate mic although I am planning on doing it next season as I've still got a lot to learn as I haven't done much filming outside...I know you follow me and I do appreciate your feedback and kind words..
All the very best Davie
@@DavieMcPhail Good morning, Davie. I certainly DO follow you, and need to say what an outstanding contribution you make to the global fly-tying community. That community probably amounts to (global guess) 200,000. Beyond that, the trickle-down of skills that start on your channel must be quite remarkable. Your films with last for generations of fishermen. That's a heck of a legacy. Oliver Edwards, Barry Ord Clark, and Davie McPhail comprise the Fly Tying Pantheon.
Nice day out... if it had been me, I might have to have had just one more cast... =]
Mike
Great fun! That Salmon must have been fun. Can’t tell from the videos. How long are your average casts? They look really long on the videos but like I say hard to get a real perspective. Thanks for taking us again.
Hi Davy
Enjoying your fishing videos, after years of watching your flytying one's too. I've just moved to Maybole from Ireland and as a keen flyfisher I've visited some of the areas you've featured recently with a view to fishing them. Can you recommend where to start on the Doon, Loch Doon and River Ayr for me... and where to get tickets.... and handiest fisheries to try over the winter? Many thanks John N
Hello Davie. Can I make you a suggestion? Next time you are walking to the river with your rod disassemble, use band for ponytails, one on the top and the other on the bottom, don't tie to much. You will feel and see the difference.
Great video by the way!
All the best.
Did I hear you wrong or did you say you used fluorescent thread to see the tip of your fly line? That’s a pretty slick trick I’ll have to give it go sounds almost like a euro sighter for a floating line love these videos keep ‘em comin Davie
Great video mate. Was just wondering if you use any streamers you tie? Thanks for sharing a very nice video with us all. Looks like a great time.🎣🎣 . Best Regards from West Virginia, Ken
Hi Ken,
No I've never really fished streamer flies on the river especially for brown trout though I am sure they would work and with the larger fish not showing themselves yesterday they would have certainly been worth a go..I should maybe look at fishing them sometime and as well filming what happens..I'm glad you enjoyed the video..
All the very best Davie
Hi dave excellent vid, I have a wee request I hope you don't mind,could you do a vid of the tying of the iron blue pattern,thanks,keep up the good work.
Hi hopper1aoa,
I am glad you enjoyed the video and I have already filmed the small iron blue wet fly so I have attached a link for you to see..

All the very best Davie..
@@DavieMcPhail i've seen that vid it's very good,was that the version you were using on the day on the doon.
Many thanks for a beautiful video Davie.
I may be in a minority of one but I think you would be better to break these OB’s into shorter episodes (e.g. this one might have been three). It’s a lot of great content you are putting out in one go and it’s also a lot to watch in one go (my wife would like to spend more time with me in the evening!).
Anyways just my thoughts and I remain very grateful for all you do.
Hi Warren,
I know the video is a bit long as it could be broken into two or three as you said, I may do this with some as many don't like the long videos..I am glad you enjoyed it..
All the very best Davie..
How about showing certain fly boxes? thanks Davie loving these videos 😍
Hi dongil123,
Just keep me in mind and I'll certainly look at making a video of the boxes I make for the monthly draw as my own are ruff and ready as they would say..I'm glad yo enjoyed the video..
All the very best Davie..
What size do browns get up to on Doon Davie do you ever try any of the streamers that you tye so well .
Next tying video could you please do the caddis fly you were catching on, or a link on how to tie the fly please?
Hi Mark,
The tying's of both caddis flies that I was using on the river as well as the Iron Blue wet fly are attached below the video in the more info but I have attached them for you to see..I hope you like them..
All the very best Davie..

Wow, absolutly amazing fishing. I love your videos, i can feel the passion in each video 😍 i learned a lot of seeing your tying videos! Greetings from Germany. Sorry for my bad english…
Can you describe your stripping skills ? Looks very nice to me , but i dont know how you do it. I only see you twist your hand but thats all 😅 thank you
great video again - always fun to land a few - the leggie caddis is dry and used as indicator?
Hi HarleyJune,
It can be as it does sit up and floats really well as I was using it like this in a way, it's also a great fly on the lochs as you may know..I'm glad you enjoyed the video..
All the very best Davie..
I love fly fishing in river Carron for trout before lock down. Went for one season but disappointed, never caught a trout. What type of fly fishing rod and reel shall I buy with suitable line.
Hi Davie, Another great video.. very enjoyable.. Is that a Vosseler reel you are using ?
Morning Mark,
The reel I am using is a Cadence which I got with the rod, I have attached a link below for you to see and I am glad you enjoyed the video..
All the very best Davie..

@@DavieMcPhail Hi Davie Thanks for your reply and link, I checked it out, interesting this is a new on me.
I asked because rods and reels have been in the forefront for me recently as I decided to go back to old school to a medium action rod set up. And learned a very important lesson. You probably know what I am about to tell you so this is more for your
readers than you personally.
Short history is that I like many went over to fat action some time ago but never really felt comfortable, Trading off delicate
presentation and ease of roll cast in return for distance and wind knots isn't for me.
In my learning journey I discovered that if you have a fast action rod then you have to use a weight forward line, weight forward line doesn't work on a medium action rod, the line collapses at the business end .. And the opposite is also true.. its not possible to use a double taper line on a fast action rod... the line will stick to the rod rings ( guides).
I chose in the end for a Vision rivlermaniac rod medium action and a Vosseler reel. And its all I could ever wish for in a rod and reel. But like many things in life its personal to the practitioner.
Thanks again Davie,Tight lines.
Davie, what flyline are you using that flies out so easily?
Hi Corgi W,
I'm using a Lee Wulff Triangular taper fly line..
ATB Davie..
Thanks! 👍
Hi Davie,
another great video and what lovely water for the wet fly! Can I make a suggestion for a video? Some years ago I read a book [of which there are many] called Matching the Hatch co-written by Cyril Bennett and Peter Lapsley. I appreciate that every river differs from the next, but would you consider sometime running through the various Dry's Wet's and Nymphs you more commonly use on the Doon and Ayr. All we fishers are concerned I'm sure about the decline of certain fly life but there are some patterns in each category that have things in common on most waters. The fish at 42min 50 looked a clonker. Cheers Davie
Hi Peter,
That sounds like a great idea though this year I am just learning how to do this videos as it is totally new to me though they seem to have went down quite well..I'm glad you enjoy it and thank you for the kind words..
All the very best Davie..
@@DavieMcPhail Hi Davie, I think you've done extremely well with the production. Its been a real pleasure and I have enjoyed every moment. I should have perhaps added to my original comment: would you consider showing us the flies from each group as you use the through each season? Thank you very much
And where is the Doon?

Hi Davie, I have just found your channel and really enjoyed this video, it’s great to see truly wild trout coming to the fly… I’m based in the south east of England and become spoiled with the stocked ‘lumps’ in some of the renowned waters down here, I used to love fishing the Scottish rivers when I lived north of the border 40 years ago…
I started my TH-cam channel about 3 years ago and I would love to know how you developed your own following… 108k is a significant number, I would really appreciate advice and suggestions as to how I can grow my own channel. That Salmon / Grilse strike was amazing I bet your heart rate jumped a bit… I look forward to watching more of your videos, if you do get a chance, can you watch a few of mine and tell me what you think.
Bless you Davie, Grandpa Chris R signing off…
fly fishing is one fly and hook without a hitch end nathing els
Do never fish upstream . It’s what I have always done .
Hi David,
I do fish upstream a lot at times especially when I am fishing for grayling..
All the very best Davie
Adds just ruin it.
