    I've been hooked on your tying since you tied a bootlace buzzer for me at the Scottish Game fair many years ago and I am still in awe at your skill.Thank you Davie.

    As new to tying I like the simplicity of the way you show and explain the fly you are tying. They are very good looking and small amount of materials, I'm going to follow your instructions and try to tie them. Thank you for the excellent video. I have watched quite a lot of them and enjoyed them all.

    Have you tried EP Trigger Point fro Enrico Pulglisi, in Blue Wing Olive color? Works well for BWO's Comparaduns.

    I was thinking how the second BWO would look with a dun/grey colored deer hair...

  • @ghart91
    @ghart91 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    On the Comparadun why did you wrap between the deer hair? Spacing it out did not make it look any more than a true wing. Spreading the hair out, does it change the floatation?

    • @DavieMcPhail
      @DavieMcPhail  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Gary,
      I have always tyed the wings of the comparaduns like this as I have found it to work really well making the fly float longer and as well give the wing a fuller look..I may have read about this way of tying the wings on or seen someone doing it but I can't remember as I have been tying them like this for over 30 years..Great question..
      All the very best Davie

    Hi Davie - great videos as always - thank you. One question - what kind of wax do you add to the thread at various points during the tying process? It doesn't look like regular dubbing wax and so I wondered if you could let me know please. Many thanks! Matt

    • @DavieMcPhail
      @DavieMcPhail  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Matt,
      I've attached a link to the wax that I use, it comes from a wholesale company called Veniards if you can find a stockist of their materials I'm sure they'll be able to help you...

      @DavieMcPhail  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi wyomingtrout,
      I have attached a link to a video in which I show how I prepare the wax I use for tying with. Although doing a piece when you need it rather than doing a few like I do will help to keep the wax in good order, also keep it in a sealed bag as well...Here is the link to the video.

      Hi@@wyomingtrout5581 It will though just hold it between your finger and thumb and it will soften, I would also work it between my fingers until it becomes tacky as this will help it stick to the side of your finger..All the very best Davie

    Hey Davie, I really like the flies. Do you happen to know the denier of the veevus threads? I have been using 14/0 and it feels as strong as 8/0. I don't usually break my thread much anymore unless I hit the hook point. I just wondered how the small diameter thread can be so strong. I sometime watch your video's lying down resting while the wife is asleep which accounts for the occasional night where I don't comment. Tonight was one of those nights. In a year when I am re-watching I will be surprised I didn't comment. on small flies do you ever use the other side of the quill from the trailing edge of the biots? I do on 24 and under. All the best to you and yours. Sean

    • @DavieMcPhail
      @DavieMcPhail  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Sean,
      To be honest I'm not sure what the denier is of these threads or even any of the others I use, I have mostly used Uni-Threads especially 8/0 which I feel is perfect for many of the flies I tye...I do though need to use other threads just incase I get asked what I think...I have used the other side of the biots especially on nymphs though I have tyed dry flies as well....
      All the very best Davie

    • @bobfowler9522
      @bobfowler9522 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Sean Mooney - I switched to 14/0 and have had the same result - stuff is really strong and I've stopped breaking - also use 10/0 for big streamers.

    • @seanmooney3907
      @seanmooney3907 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Veevus has made a good thread. I use it especially if I don't want to build bulk. I use 8/0 for many of my flies and use UTC for thread body flies. The flat shine to that thread in nice, however, I prefer a round thread. The veevus 10/0 is also pretty flat but it takes too long for all but tiny bodies. All the best to you and yours. Thanks for the comment

    Davie. They say the fisherman's curse is the Trico yet I feel the Blue Winged Olive can be a close second.. Your videos and tutorials have been extremely helpful on this pattern. Do you see this hatch as a challenge as well?

    • @DavieMcPhail
      @DavieMcPhail  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi ugsisr,
      I do agree with you that these flies can test you as they do come off in big numbers so the fish do have to pick your fly out of the crowd, but it's great fun to fish when these flies are coming off...I'm glad you enjoy the videos and that they have helped you...

      Waxing your thread will give it more grip and as well it will help to strengthen it, it's always been done in many trades as well as tying flies...Happy New Year....
