Hi Davie. This is a old and known norwegian pattern. I have a cottage in Telemark, and I have use this pattern often when I'm fishing in the mountains. This is a classic norwegian wet fly:) Thanks for a nice flytying video once again. Regards Finn
It is a great fly. We used to call it "Teal Blue and Silver" Who knew! Fished it on a single hook for sea-trout. Tied very sparse. Thank you. Great video.
Love it !! Sometimes the simplest patterns to me are the most elegant they really are today and yesterday was fishing a Partridge & orange Even though they were stocked fish I caught a bunch of fish it was also using the Stewart’s spider I was running three flies I enjoyed watching you tie this one
Very pretty fly and looks within my range (or close to it! lol) Davie. I’ll give it a go on a single to test my abilities. Thank you for another one dude. They’re always appreciated.
Do you have a book with step-by-step instructions available? I am a veteran involved with Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing program. It has changed my life. And I thank you for being here to help me as well.
Hi Louis, I'm sorry I don't, it's something I did think about doing but never got round to it as making the videos is easier and. quicker so this is probably why I never took it any further...I'm glad fly fishing and fly tying has help you, Project Healing Waters do a magnificent job.. All the very best Davie..
Hallo Davie. Thanks, for shering your fly tying with us. It is so inspiering. I have learned, so much from you. Your flies are great. Thank You. I have just a couple things i wonder about. I have noth find out, what kind of wax are you using on your finger??? And i wonder, do you have a video. That you show, how to tye the wings on the fly. Like you do on Muddler or Hardys Fav. I struggel with my wing tying. So, do you have a video. That you show how to ty wings on your flies.
Hi Ole Carsten Soiland, I use Veniards Prepared Fly Tyers Wax, I have attached a link to a video I made about this wax for you to see...th-cam.com/video/IN4N92G14Xg/w-d-xo.html I have also attached a link to the Hardy's Favourite which I have filmed for you to see as well...th-cam.com/video/9tYC5qUdwww/w-d-xo.html I am glad that you enjoy the videos and thank you for the kind words.. All the very best Davie...
@@DavieMcPhail Thank you for the ansver Davie. Now i will see ,if i can find a shop that have the wax. And i need ,to sitt down, and practis wing tying. Everytime, i ty flies. I have your videos in the background. And stopp tying, if i see a interested video of a fly to ty. Your buzzers are amacing. I am on them now. Noth as good as yours yeth. But ok. Thank you agin Davie. For the good ansver. Thank you.
Fantastic fly davie....beautifully tied as always...sorry for the request, looked everywhere but cant find a pattern for The Welsh Witch...any help appreciated...Mark
Hi Dominique LeBlanc, It would certainly take a salmon or two, I used to fish these flies in the summer months when there were fresh running sea trout and grilse coming off the tide..I'm glad you liked the fly.. All the very best Davie..
Beautiful pattern Davie! Is it easier to tie the wing on a double than on a single hook? It seems like it would because to me the shank looks wider on the double.
Hi Joe, A small underwing would certainly help support the wing and a little bit of golden pheasant tippet would certainly give you a great variant of this fly..I'm glad you liked the fly.. All the very best Davie...
Hi Dakota Wentworth, I tyed it on a double as it was a request from a few different subscribers, it is fished a lot in Norway tyed on a double..I'm glad you liked the fly as it is a nice pattern.. All the very best Davie..
Hi Ragnar Vidarsson, I would say you could tye from size 4s down to a 16s if you wanted to as I've done this with similar flies.. All the very best Davie...
Great looking wet fly mate. Love the colours you used. Could that one be used for sea trout as well for trout? Thanks for sharing another pattern for our boxes. Have a great day and say hello to your family. Best Regards, Ken 😁
Hi Ken, It would certainly fish well for sea trout as well as trout, it takes many fish in Norway that's why it's so popular, I've lost count of the number of times I have been asked to film this fly..I'm glad you liked it.. All the very best Davie..
thanks very much for the excellent video! I imagine you personally don't have a lot of control over this, but the introduction from Fulling Mill is appalling! It's so messy and frantic, it is completely out of step with the tone of the rest of your great videos. advertisements from fulling mill are fine, and if they're paying your bills all power to them, but they should try and come up with an introduction that suits the video on which its appearing Cheers Peter
Peter you are so right and thanks for saying so. I would not want to say how many hours I have watched Davie tie. Some flies I have watched 10 times and would have no trouble watching again. The first time I saw the lead in I thought that I had clicked the wrong link. And as a marketing person, which I am, the lead-in does nothing for Fulling Mill and damages Davies brand.
Hi Peter, Before you posted your message I had spoken to Fulling Mill about this and they said that it would be better to take out the music as you said it's out of step to the normal tone that comes across in my videos..They are going to look at something else in the new year..I appreciate you and Gary's comment and I hope this doesn't stop you viewing my videos... All the very best Davie..
Hi M Baird, You don't have to be sorry as I need to get feedback on these changes. I'll reduce the sound on this to try and help as I feel the drums are a bit loud myself...Fulling Mill do help me but they do listen to me and any feed back I get so Thank you.. All the very best Davie..
It's actually not a bad peice of work, it just doesn't fit in with the guitar and Davie's style of speaking. What you could do is try to add a transition in and out with some simple fades to split it up. The extra time and ramp in and out would make it seem less harsh. But on all honesty despite the add being good work something a little more easy to match the style would be better...
Beautiful Davie!
Many thanks Matt and look after yourself...ATB Davie

I love your channel. I really look forward to your videos. Thanks for sharing your amazing talent!
Great looking fly Davie. Superbly tied and explained as always. Appreciate the time and effort put into your video's. Many thanks.
My late grandfather passed on a fly to me exactly the same but on a single hook. Thanks!
Thanks Davie. You're a great teacher and inspiration!
Very nice tie. One of my favorit
trough 50 years
It is a great fly. We used to call it "Teal Blue and Silver" Who knew! Fished it on a single hook for sea-trout. Tied very sparse. Thank you. Great video.
love the color combinations. Thanks for the pattern.
Love it !! Sometimes the simplest patterns to me are the most elegant they really are today and yesterday was fishing a Partridge & orange Even though they were stocked fish I caught a bunch of fish it was also using the Stewart’s spider I was running three flies I enjoyed watching you tie this one
Man you are one very talented tyer !! Cheers mate
Very nice as usual Mr Mcphail!!!
Keep us busy during the winter please.
Liked the new advert btw. ATB Chris.
A great norwegian classic, a king amongst flies tied by the king of flytyers!
Works as well down by sea level as high in the mountains.
Good job, you nailed the proportions, looks great!
Likings your new intro.... glad you kept the old little bit on the tranquility water musicy bit tho.
I did enjoy it, Davie... thank you.
Mike
Can't wait to try it on sea trout, beautifully tied as always!
Very pretty fly and looks within my range (or close to it! lol) Davie. I’ll give it a go on a single to test my abilities. Thank you for another one dude. They’re always appreciated.

Wow! Nicely done!

Love it could you please tie a black and silver humongous
Great looking pattern. Do you think it would make a nice simple atlantic salmon fly?

Beautiful fly. I dont understand the purpose of the double hook though?
Hi Dakota Wentworth,
I tyed it on a double as it was a request from a few different subscribers, it is fished a lot in Norway tyed on a double..I'm glad you liked the fly as it is a nice pattern..
All the very best Davie..
This is Actually An Norwegian tie... Telemark is a place in norway and "kongen" means king.
I will try this on sea trout next year. Any consideration if going bigger? Say, size 8 +/-2?
Hi Ragnar Vidarsson,
I would say you could tye from size 4s down to a 16s if you wanted to as I've done this with similar flies..
All the very best Davie...
Teal Blue and Silver with a Butcher tail?
More or Less
Nice
It's that nice Ild be scared to loose it lol
Блестяще 👍👍👍
Great looking wet fly mate. Love the colours you used. Could that one be used for sea trout as well for trout? Thanks for sharing another pattern for our boxes. Have a great day and say hello to your family. Best Regards, Ken 😁

The drumming is sure a distraction. Sorry
Hi M Baird,
You don't have to be sorry as I need to get feedback on these changes. I'll reduce the sound on this to try and help as I feel the drums are a bit loud myself...Fulling Mill do help me but they do listen to me and any feed back I get so Thank you..
