Hi Davie
This fly tied as a tube really scratches my itch for practical Atlantic salmon flies. It seems that smaller flies work better for Atlantic's then big ones in Canada rivers.
Fantastic stuff man.
I'm not sure if you realize the great service that your providing for not only us today, but for the kids coming along that will be replacing us. The youngsters that use your videos will be miles ahead of where a lot of us were at the same age.
Great Great Job. Thank you for what you do. Russ

love it, very like the eany tailfire light Irish fly in colours, that murders fish in spate rivers , I can see this doing just as much damage in peaty water

Great vid Davie love this fly it will be added to my box for opening day in March! All the best from Ireland.

On top of that Sean, apparently the tube slides up the line from the hook once a fish is hooked and stops the fly being destroyed by the fish's teeth.

Hello Davie. Great Looking salmon fly mate. Can you use artic fox for the wing? Or use the colour you want to. That looks like a good one to also use for big brown trout or not. Thanks for sharing it with us all. Cheers.
Best Regards, Ken

Hi Davie , another great video lesson , i was wondering if you sell the flies you create and if so how do i go about buying some ? Cheers , Sivy

[@seanmooney3907]

Davie, why tie a fly on a tube? I have see a few of them but I don't understand how to fish them? I realize you are a master tyer but you must have started somewhere. That is where I am now. Thanks

what hens are they whiting ?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Timothy,
I do use whiting hens on many of my flies as well as some Chinese and Indian necks that I have..
All the very best Davie..
