Irresistible Bonefish lures, and the perfect saltwater fly.
An excellent 1st tutorial of the new year.
Hi Stuart,
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and Happy New Year to you and all the very best for 2018...
All the very best Davie..
Great looking fly mate. Glad you can do a lot of different ones. Those would work great on those small mouth bass as well. Super way to start the new year. Have a great day and thanks for sharing. Best Regards Ken
Hi Ken,
The Bonefish like this style of fly so they are a must if you are going to be fishing for them and I'm sure the Small Mouth Bass would love them just as much..I'm glad you liked the video and Happy New Year and all the very best for 2018...
Davie...
Fantastic Davie!
On a side note .. over here in Germany hunting is quite popular and they DO like their trophies,so I went to a taxidermist and asked if he had scraps left over...result!!
Got polar bear,black bear,jackal,weasel,mouflon (hollow fibers and great colour).. thought I would share this idea with everyone!
Tightlines!!!!
And I got it all for free.
Excellent tie! thank you I will stock up on these!
All the best for the new year Davie,for you and your family. Great fly,work great for bass to.
Hi R Loos,
If you tye some for the Bass let us know how you get on..Happy New Year to you and your family...
All the very best Davie...
Happy New Year, Davie! Very interesting fly for new year starting.
Hi Alex,
I rarely tye saltwater flies but a friend is going on a trip in the next couple of weeks and I know the Bitters patterns are very popular and they are fun to tye..Happy New Year to you too and all the very best for 2018...
ATB Davie....
Another nice fly Davie. Happy New year
Happy New Year Scott and all the very best for 2018...Davie..
Most fun I've had watching you tie. So cool. Have a marvelous new year!
Hi Jack,
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and Happy New Year to you too...
All the very best Davie...
Nicely done Davie. I used to tie these using epoxy before UV resin was popular. The UV resin is much nicer to use for a fly like this.
Love those style flies, simple and effective. I am going to th a Red Fish version, slightly bigger.
Nice .. happy new year to you and your Dave.
Happy New Year Maurice and all the very best for 2018...Davie..
Enjoyed the lesson thank you sir
A Pleasure, as Ever.
a nice pattern Daviesan.. healthy 2018!! ;)
Thank you Kiyoshi and happy New Year to you too and all the very best for 2018..
Davie....
When I say Panfish ,....this can be Shell-crackers ,..or " Croppernose" ,..Maybe Big Blue gills ....what ever . ...and Rock Bass around here in these parts of Kentucky " The BlueGrass State " .... Thanks So Much for your in-sight on this information .
Might be a good fly for Carp as well!
Goodjob
This will be Great for the Big Bluegill / or Panfish in this area { Kentucky } Lakes and Ponds area ..... Thanks
Super
I think, that thise fly have to catch perch very well, good job)
Muy bueno! Gracias, feliz año nuevo! Ojalá siga creciendo el canal!. Podrías hacer, mas adelante, alguna mariposa? Gracias
Can you do some UK saltwater flies thanks. PS excellent as always
There's the move!
I have never went saltwater fishing. If one were to size this fly back to about a #10, and dub a rear body with a rib, I think that you would have a killer dragonfly nymph pattern. I've been working with the UV resin lately as well. I have a pattern that I'm calling "Watson's Flash Fry", and I wondered if you would take a look at it and let me know what you think. Best wishes for a wonderful New Year.
Ken Watson
Hi Ken,
Tying it in smaller sizes for a dragonfly nymph would be a great idea and certainly worth a go..Happy New Year to you too and all the very best for 2018..

Hi Davie. Tell me please which brand of uv cure epoxy and flashlight you use.
Great fly as usual Davie. Like the colour combinations too. On another note just getting started in the use of resins. I see you use bug bond and now fulling mill. How does the fulling mill compare with the bug bond and what torch would you recommend as there seems to be less expensive than others.
Hi Stagsden123,
I would have to say many of the resins are very much the same, I prefer a lite resin which suits a lot of the small flies that I tye mostly like midge pupa though you can build up a good head like the Bitters...
All the very best Davie..
I would bounce that through the riprap even in fresh water.
What brand/model vice do you use Dave?
Morning Glenn,
I use a Law vice but unfortunately it's no longer being made, I have attached a link to a video I made about it for you to see...They do come up for sale an odd time but can go for quite a lot of money..

Thanks Dave much appreciated from the land Downunder! Have you fished in Australia? Most of our river trout fishing is in Victoria and Tasmania for wild browns in the Western Lakes. Southern New South Wales has good lake fishing and high country streams..love your tying the best I have seen....
DM many thanks for posting. Do you reckon tied down would they work for mullet. If so what changes / colours would you suggest.
Many thanks
Lewis.
Hi Lewis,
I'm sure they would, as I do know the Gotchas have caught our mullet, I may tye a few for myself and give them a go this year...I would say Olive, Tan and Brown would be good colours to try..
All the very best Davie....
Pop’s Bitters
What brand of bobbin is that? I have been looking for one like that here in the US but have not found one.
Hi Michael,
I have attached a link to the bobbin holder I like to use...
All the very best Davie...
