Great as always Davie, I wish we had these in USA. I might tie a couple just to try. Not necessarily for fishing but for tying experience. All the best to you. Sean
Hi Davie, I'm new to fly tying/fishing. I started last Christmas with a basic fly tying kit. I have watched hundreds of your videos and would like to say they are they are fascinating and very educational. I have managed to tie some of your fly's which have netted me a good few brown and rainbows this season. Could you recommend some wet fly's for Autumn/winter loch fishing....cheers brybo
Killer pattern i have been taking a lot of Crappie on it. I tied mine with copper wire a chartruse body black wings with chartruse heckle. I fish dingy murky water.
Hi ferrousoxidedog, Just fish it how you would normally fish your flies as this is a good wee fly on lochs and rivers..I'm glad you like it... All the very best Davie
Hi max man. Traditionally you would tye the hen hackle in by the tip and the cock hackle in by the base which works mostly but if the best colour is in the tip of the hackle which can be on some small cock like Indian or Chinese capes then I would tye them in by the tip..The stem can encourage you to do this as well with both hen and cock capes..I'm glad you enjoyed the video.. All the very best Davie
beautiful fly, im looking forward to trying in on sheelan in March, really appreciate you videos, only started trying again last year and your vids really helped me get back into it! I have a back pocket fly i got from a gillie a few years back called a jack stacks which i caught several fine trout with on Mask, perhaps if i sent you a pic of it you could help me copy it? i asked a few people to copy it but with no sucess, and people that would be well respected in the cyrcles of fly tying. I only ever had the 1 fly and reluctant to fish it. maybe you could help?? would also like to see you tie the yellow fan wing, was a great fly on the Corrib and also the red arsed green peter!! again would just like to say a big thank you for sharing your talent.
Hi Aidan Gonnelly, I'm glad that the videos have helped you to get back to tying your own flies again, I would happy to try and help you copy it..I'll send you my email address through a PM so that you can send the photo as you can't attach any here...I do have a fan wing mayfly and a dry and wet version of the green peter on youtube... All the very best Davie
Hi David, What I do is to cut a small piece off the side of the wax just enough when softened about the size of a small button..I then hold it under the warm water tap until it becomes soft, which doesn't take long then work it between your fingers until it gets tacky you can then stick it to the side of your finger ready to be used when needed... All the very best Davie
Whats the thinking behind mixing the slf with seals fur Davie ? is it to make the seals fur last longer or does it just make the seals fur easier to bub?.
Hi particlepete1, The SLF and the Seals Fur are a great mix and has worked well with many patterns that I have tied over the years and like you said it will also help you to dub in on much easier. I also like to add rabbit, arctic fox and many of the flash dubbings which you can buy out there..Great question... All the very best Davie
lovely looking fly Davie. Great job. Thanks for sharing.
Davie, once again you delivered an excellent fly. I cannot imagine a fish by passing this beauty.
I honestly think it's cool.
The atmosphere is outstanding!
