I smiled when I seen that it was a tube fly Davie! LOL more tubes please Davie.👍🏻

hi Davie, lol, wee puff of reek, love Scottish expressions! now I've heard of polar fiber but not pizzly. they make a short stiff fiber? looks like it gives the fly more structure than bucktail alone. we have a friend that raises pigs & beef cattle for slaughter. but they don't do the slaughter or butchering as I've asked her for some bristles. I did get 2 pheasant and a chuckar hunting on their property. she raises them for training her Labradors, and hunting. too bad the state outlawed feral pig hunting, it was a problem in NY but the hunting scattered them and made it worse. I hear they're pretty tasty! thanks for doing another tube vid. easy to tye and very popular. smart method of fishing too. hope all is well Davie, all the best to you.

very nice fly Dave... my kinda flee

[@crazytrutas]

Hi Davie,
Could you also ad some black or blue bucktail fibers in the wing?
All the best,
Mike.

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Mike,
Yes mix what colours you would like, another worth trying is purple as it caught a lot of fish for me when things were hard going..
All the very best Davie

[@salarfish]

Davie, you have probably answered this question before but I would like to know what tying wax you have on your finger and how do you keep it there? Curious in Nova Scotia :-)

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Salar Fish,
I do get asked a lot what wax I use but I don't mind anyone asking...It's made by a wholesale company called Veniards and it's called Prepared Fly Tyers Wax so any shop and online company that stock their materials I'm sure will be able to help you...What I do is warm it by holding it under the warm water tap until it softens, then I'll pull off a small piece the equivalent of small button and then I work it between my fingers until it becomes tacky enough to stick to the side of my finger ready to be used when needed..
All the very best Davie

Beautiful tying a question pig bristle where does it come from on the pig just wondering,my friend was talking about wild boar and maybe he could get some for me

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi robert andersson,
It is Wild Boar and the whole pig is covered with hair though I prefer the longest hair which I believe runs along it's neck and back..
All the very best Davie

[@robertandersson331]

thank you all the best to you too

Hi Davie, fantastic videos thanks! could you tell me what size/make of needles you use in your adapter please for the inner/outer tube combination? cheers!

Hi Richard,
I'm glad you enjoyed the videos and thank you for the kind words..I've had the needle I used in the video a long time now which I got it from Michael Frodin, so I have attached a link to the one I used it's called the FITS Tubing Device.
