Awesome, cheers Davie 😊

[@HeathMcLaughen-qf4mw]

Loved the video and the simplicity of your approach. I tie some very similar patterns.
Quick question. On your #1 fly (pheasant tail) you said that you use UV chocolate dubbing. I have only been able to find chocolate brown or UV brown. Where do you find UV chocolate (company, website)? Would UV Brown work as well?

Thats it there no4 from the drop down box, glad you enjoyed the videos hope you like the rest and more to come, tight lines Dave

[@cwp0]

No Duracell or Frenchie ? Agree though PT takes some beating… great video mate

[@TheDavedownie]

Frenchie makes top ten, duracell not my fav fly im afraid. thanks for watching and tight lines :)

[@troutbhoy1]

Some cracking patterns there Dave, just a question on tying your Pheasant Tail, is there a reason you prefer to tie on curved hooks? I’d seen videos of John Tyzack tying them on curved hooks and always wondered what the reasoning behind it was but I have to agree, a top nymph pattern 👍🏻

[@TheDavedownie]

I like the shape of it on the curved hook to be honest and always have as the natural nymph on the way up will be moving in a swaying way as it climbs to the surface if that make sense, cheers for watching and tighty lines

[@ericlong9085]

Thank you for sharing, could you put a link up for the dubbing for your number one pattern please

[@TheDavedownie]

Hi Eric glad you enjoyed the video fly-fishingworld.com/collections/dubbings-various/products/jan-siman-uv-hares-ear-plus-back-in-stock
Chocolate Brown is the one you want Tight Lines Dave

[@andrewshearer6122]

See when ur tying ur pheasent tail davy is it countersink beads ur using..cheers

[@TheDavedownie]

Hi Matey, I use whatever tungstens I have, if they are slotted I will hold them up and put turns of thread behind the bead to keep it in th eright place if that makes sense. But normal countersunk generally works better.

[@pauljenkins1032]

Nice Dave , I am one of those people with tons of flies but only use about 6 patterns, any tying video of these flies especially your point fly
Cheers
What’s your website 👍

[@TheDavedownie]

Glad you enjoyed www.fly-fishingworld.com tight lines Dave

[@jmyd83]

👍

[@TheDavedownie]

Thanks Tight Lines Dave

[@WilliamMills-ze3qb]

Will these 5 flies work on lakes

[@TheDavedownie]

Possibly but as they are weighted bit harded to cast , Ive used PT weighted nymphs before on some of the waters up here and caught well on them, but not the best for casting :)
