WHAT A SUPER 👍 SUPER CHANNEL,,,,,, THANK YOU FOR SHARING AND YOUR DEDICATION WITH PASSION,,, THAT YOU SHARE WITH THOUSANDS OF US,,,, TXS FOR YOUR TEACHING AND HELP,,, WELL DONE 👍 !!!
I did enjoy it, Davie... enjoyed it a lot, thanks. Every once in a fly or so, I get caught up in what you are doing with your fingers. This fly, winding the hackle and stopping the wrap with your finger to re-grab. It's a thing I learned from you back in the beginnings of your TH-cam videos. You've changed the way I tie flies, Davie, and I'm a happy soul for it. Mike
Lovely tying as usual. I remember a few great days fishing with this fly and a Baltic Special in the estuary in Dundrum Bay at the foot of the Mournes. Spectacular views! I like to tie it with holographic silver tinsel and rib the silver wire over the top of the mallard too, to protect it as I doesn't tend last too long once you've hooked a few. Great idea with the peacock herl. Thanks for sharing
Very nice looking fly. I will plan on tying a few in different sizes and try it out. Thanks again for the well done video, always a pleasure to watch you tie.
A beauty of a fly. The use of the dubbing loop to protect the herl great idea. I am going to try them in smaller sizes including down to comp legal. On the stillwaters as a pin fry imitation. As well as the larger examples for deep big brownies.
Another great informative tying Dave, you make it look so easy. As others have said this would be great in smaller sizes for the reservoirs, however I’ll be trying to tie a couple for some Welsh sewin.
WHOA Davie man .. 2 awesome things here. 1 what an elegant fly.. and second that peacock hurl loop is the best way i have seen to do that.. other methods with a loop spinner are a bit much but the way you show is really nice the hurl came out great!! gonna try that for sure ... Thanks again for sharing your mastery < J
Great fly Davie. I've had some big browns out of the lough. Also has a lovely shape I think. One question though: it appears to me that all the white thread except for the tail tie in is covered, so why use it for the majority of the fly and then change to brown? Apologies if I missed something... all the best. Cuan
Tried tying this ages ago, but could never get the back to sit right. Wasn’t it meant to be a sand eel imitation? One of his other flies, Rogan’s Extractor, is good for the loughs.
Hi Rossa Mullen, I believe it does represent a sand eel and when you see the eels feeding you can see why it works so well..I was over there at that time as a consultant for Rogans so I was lucky enough to see a few patterns by him.. All the very best Davie..
Hi Mike, Not really though it does show up well if you leave a space between the turns of the silver tinsel so it would be certainly worth tying some like this... All the very best Davie..
Hi Keith, I would would say it's both though it's classed as a streamer/lure just by the size and what it's trying to represent being a sand/eel pattern..I'm glad you liked the fly.. All the very best Davie..
Love chasing seatrout in the estuary with a gadget. Beautiful tie.

I could watch you tie flies all day long Davie! This one is surely going in my box, can’t wait to tie some variations of this as well! Thanks again!

Gonna make some of these thank you so much Davie sir for your brilliant tuition 👍😀😀
Thanks David great looking fly!Perfect for minnow imitation here in eastern Wyoming.A few are going in my box.
I agree. I could and have watched you tie all day!
Thanks Davie. A unique design. I'm going to tie up a few. We'll see if I get it right.
Nice fly Davie. Looks like a great pattern for spring land locked salmon here in Maine

I was thinking the same thing for Stillwater. That fly looks just like our stunted strain of silver salmon here in Montana, in the lake I fish.
Always such great work. You are such an inspiration for tying flies. Never get tired of watch you tie.
This is such a great fly. Never seen it before. Thanks for sharing mr. McPhail.

Lovely fly again will do a few of these in smaller sizes try them on the clyde when the fish are on the minnows should be good
the donegal special!! i used it to great success on strangford lough too, great video mate 👍👍👍
Nice looking pattern looks like it would imitate a bate fish well
Thank you Davie! This looks great! I'm going to do a few and try them out!
Looks like a great sea trout pattern! Thanks for sharing.
Cheer's just like always my friend you bring class to the vice with this tie I will tie a few of them

Another belter of a fly Davie.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing, Mr McPhail.

Деви, привет! Благодарю за пошаговку ! Классный стримерок!👍🤝🇰🇿
What a great baitfish profile! And how can you not like a fly with Gadget in the name? And the wing becomes a tail!
Big fan of your tying! Is there a way to order your flies, specifically this one!!? Cheers, and look forward to watching more.
Великолепно 🤝🙋♂️👍👍👍
Braw fur the tele😂❤️
Te salut .Cred ca este pentru Avat. Trebuie sa o fac si eu ca materiale am .
Bonjour il faut le déclarer à l’OMS pour le suivre.😷

Does the Globrite floss shine thru the Mylar tinsel and/ or the peacock?
Hi Mike,
Not really though it does show up well if you leave a space between the turns of the silver tinsel so it would be certainly worth tying some like this...
All the very best Davie..
Beauty
Nice move on the tail. Makes it a total different fly. Would you consider it Wet? Or, Streamer?
Hi Keith,
I would would say it's both though it's classed as a streamer/lure just by the size and what it's trying to represent being a sand/eel pattern..I'm glad you liked the fly..
All the very best Davie..
