Beautiful pattern, Mr McPhail. I have been tying flies for 45 years...another 45 may not be long enough to compare with your mastery of the art. Thanks for sharing.

That's a master class in 'bossing' the materials. True fly tying skill. Love it.

[@mattwright2964]

That's a killing fly, no mistake! You're a great tyer. Happy Christmas.

I am constantly amazed how every pass of the thread is exactly placed. The whip finish on this video is a perfect example. you laid every turn in a precise location and it came to life when it was freed from the bobbin. I try to mimic, knowing it'll be sloppy - I'll fish even the lumpy caddis pattern!

Will try to do this fly as it looks the business. Thanks again, another masterclass, Davie.

Davie, this is a masterpiece. This will be a killer bug for our waters here in Colorado...

Davie , yet another show of brilliance. Question will uni tan work as uni gray. Thank's again .

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi @phillmartin6196,
Tan thread would be a perfect colour to use on this fly and I'm glad you liked it...
All the very best Davie..

[@krallmi48]

Hello Davie...
Watching this again and caught your mention of having a blend you used prior to having the Fulling-Mill dubbing. If you would, what was that blend mix?

Any difference between this tie and the McPhail Caddis Pupa you tied in Sept 2019?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi @anablakp3200,
It is a different pattern as this one fished close to the surface and the McPhail Caddis Pupa is normally fish deeper though I have tyed a version of the grannom in the McPhail Pupa style which works really well too..
All the very best Davie
