just took it up to another level Davie. Masterclass.
A masterpiece. If i had such a fly it would never get a swim i would be afraid to catch a salmon on it in case it would get damaged. No it would be put into a safe only to be show to a few close friends maybe. Michael Angelo would be proud. Well done.
Beautiful fly, one of many fly patterns originally tied for the Skagit river winter Steelhead run another great one is the Intruder.
Stunning steelhead fly Davie 🏴🏴🐟🎣🙂
You're entire series is just immaculate. I watch most of these over and over and still am in awe.
Another lovely fly Davie. I watch, enjoy, copy and fish most of the patterns you demonstrate. My absolute favorites are your built wing salmon flies.
Thanks again.
Stuart
Fantastic looking fly Davie. Awesome tying. Thanks for sharing.
Great looking fly. I really appreciate your soothing videos in this horrible election season. I needed to watch this. Thanks.
I have a ton of your TH-cam vids saved. This steelhead pattern is something else ...... I need to get back to my fly tying so I can tackle that pattern. Tnx 4 sharing your skill ...... take care.
excellent tie as usual, what a striking fly! thanks again davie atb.
Just incredible .. you are the such an amazing tyer .. thanks
Unbelievable tie Davie! Different class buddy!!
Thanks again, Davie! A brilliant idea to tie Dee-style fly (or very similar) with a coloured wing. I will try it in different colour schemes.
That would have taken me 3 days! You are magic.
Very well done mate Cheers!!
Would it be possible for you to do more fly tying videos on saltwater flies.
You are truly a virtuoso. Thanks for all your great videos. I've recently acquired some Golden Pheasant crest and tippets. I have found the crest very tricky to work with -- it's very stubborn to align properly. I'm a little confused by your use of the wax on your finger. I've only seen wax used before to temporarily adhere dubbing to a single strand of thread. But you appear to be using it as glue (?) and you apply dubbing to a single strand of thread without using the wax. Could you give us a hint as to your motive for applying the wax? Are you using it like a glue?
Hi Dave,
Waxing your thread will help strengthen it as well give it more grip when needed. I specially like to use it most when I'm tying a hackle and wing on as it will also help to stop the thread from slipping...It can be used to help hold dubbing on the thread but I only do this with very fine and short dubbing like mole as I prefer to dub straight onto a clean thread as you may have seen me doing this in most videos..I'm glad you enjoy the videos and thank you for the kind words..
All the very best Davie
dave mcphilflytying Allan McClenaghan Hamilton love they spey flys I'm going to try a few I was wondering if there is a smaller hook I don't no how big to go I like the gold hook
Hi Allan,
I have attached a link to the Daiichi 2055 Alec Jackson which is the hook I would recommend..ATB Davie..

hey Davie, I am trying to learn to tie Atlantic Salmon flies. I would love to tie the classics but some of the ribbing is beyond my ability to copy from a book. I have tried and failed to find an instructor in Maine, J.S.A to teach me. I wonder if there is a book that explains some of the more difficult ribbings. I am speaking of two ribs that go in opposite directions etc. I started this to ask if the proper tinsel is better on the hook for salmon flies. I have noticed you use proper tinsel for the ribs on these flies. I would use mylar for fishing flies. Does the proper tinsel tarnish on the fly if they are displayed. All the best and God bless you. Sean
Hi Sean,
I mostly learnt myself to tye on the tinsels over time though if I had to recommend a book it would be Pryce Tannatts How to Dress Salmon Flies which I'm sure he will describe how to tye on the tinsel...I have attached a link to it for you to see..

Lagartun tinsels are very good for these flies and as far as I believe they don't tarnish...I hope this is of some help to you and please let me know how you get on...
All the very best Davie...
@@DavieMcPhail Hey Davie, I am reading the text online but I bought a reprint of the book from Amazon. I like to get reference materials if I can so I can go back at any time and re-read. Thanks for the information. I will let you know when I learn to tie the complicated bodies i have seen online. Some of them I saw in your TH-cam video of tied flies. They are really beautiful. I am not sure if you realize you have fans but I am assuredly one of them I have learned so much from you about tying flies. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. When I started tying flies to imitate bugs I didn't realize the bug to tie would bite me. All the best, and God bless, Sean
ur.the nr1. Davie!! (Y)
anyone know where to get Blue Eared Pheasant hackle in the UK or a substitute for it. Can't seem to find them anywhere

Great. Thank you so much for your help and for the great videos
Lovely work. Well-taught. My only quibble is the pronunciation of the name of the pattern, which should be Skædʒᵻt (Scad-ghit), not Ska-get.

morning Davy,
can I ask what type of vice you are using?
Cheers,
Wout de Kroon
Hi Wout de Kroon,
I use a Law Vise but unfortunately is no longer made, though someone has closely copied it and it's called a Pro-Vise..I have not personally tried one or seen one up close so I can't give you a review of it...Here is a link for you to see...
All the very best Davie

Hi Davie,
Thanks for your answer.
Sorry spelled your name wrong first time round.
Quite a pricy toy I see, don't think the missus agrees on that this Christmas 😊
Anyway I have a reasonable good vice, but was just curious.
Enjoy watching your flies, and tying them, even caught some trout and char with a few of your patterns in Sweden this year.
Thanks & Kind regards,
Wout de Kroon.
Enjoy the upcoming holidays.
Hej. Dont you ever use Whiting Spey?
Hi Line Jensen,
I did have a part of one of their capes when they first came out which was many years ago but I never got round to buying a whole one maybe I should look at them again..
All the very best Davie
