The color scheme possibilities for this pattern make it a truly international fly. Can't wait to tie up a dozen with various body colors. As always, fantastic, Mr. McPhail.
Im a very new fly tier and this video was very well done. Thats saying something because not alot of people make themselves clear on how to really tie a fly. Keep making these awesome videos
I really like that one ,feeling a bit punky from my 2nd vaccine, I think I'll tie a few of it. Looks fun and fishy. The ice is out here,streamer time but it won't be long ! Glad to see you up and about , been concerned since your positive test . You sound weary and wheezy , take it ez. "All the best" to you and thank you for teaching me. Chris
Oh I forgot to say I dyed some strung grizzle hackle and some white hackle sunburst and they out well. that was my first attempt. I bought several items off eBay, thank you my friend for all your help. Bill
Not to take anything away from Barry ord Clarke, I heard he was voted tier of the year but I think you are better. Your flies have a more detailed look and gives me the inspiration to keep trying
Davie another top fly pal and expertly demonstrated. I have been trying to put a link of your channel onto mine but can't see how to do it, any pointers?
Davie, Great version of this deadly pattern. Could i also get the link for the sparton wrap. I tried there site but its not much for making orders. I am in the states. Thank you Johnny
Thank you, Davie. Do you add an egg sack and/or use lighter color deer hair when tying pattern to represent egg laying caddis, or spent caddis? Best, John
Love it have u ever fished it under a dry Caddis act as an indicator tks for the inspiration u truly are one the best out there ps best luck in your new venture with fulling mill
Hi Patrick, You can easily use it as an indictor and fish a fly or two below and I have done this mostly with buzzer below...Thank you for the kind wishes and I do hope having Fulling Mill helping out will give me more time to improve my videos.. All the very best Davie
Hi Russell, Brown would be my first choice though I do like black as well but you could mix the brown and black dubbing which would give you the best of both as I've done this many a time and it has mostly worked for me.. All the very best Davie
Hi Davie, Is there any sub for Clear Nymph Wrap or Tinsel, or should i try w/o any will it work, since there is no any tying materials shop near my town. I think this pattern should be interesting for brown trouts we have in our rivers and streams. Sorry for my bad English. Your fan from Bosnia.
Hi Davie. First I have to say it ,you are my fly tying guru . Thank you for all this beautiful videos ,it's always pleasure to watch them . Can you tell me where did you buy this clear nymph wrap? Thanks again. Adam
Hi Davie, great videos! I'm a huge fan! You're truly a master of the craft. I'm curious, what sort of camera do you use for such clear video up close? I would love to share some videos, but the quality is not up to my preference. Keep up the great work. Brian Wood, Buffalo, NY
Davie, I'm having a real time with this fly. It will not float for me. And I tend to get it weighted out of balance with the bug bond seeming to cause the head to be heavy. Even without bug bond, i find it sinks quickly.... what am i likely doing wrong?
Hi Michael, I tye these flies for friends that fish in large lochs and they are part of a cast of three flies as this helps hold the fly on or close to the surface when fishing through the waves..I do tye them as well just to be fished as a single dry and I use an Elk hair though I would add a little bit more than I would use if I was tying an Elk Hair Caddis... I hope this is of some help to you... All the very best Davie
Hi Davie, What a great video on tying a sedge emerger. I have a sedge emerger of my own and it is a great taker of fish on both river and lough. Send me your address and I will send you a sample and the tying details. All the best for the moment and keep up the great work with the terrific videos. Peter Dunne, Ireland.
Davie. Can you show a video of the various feathers from the hen and cock pheasant that can be used. I know there are many. I just dressed 8 today. But being new to tying i would appreciate your advice . Kindest regards Gerry
Hi Matt, I've attached a link to the Uni-Mylar Clear which is the same as the nymph wrap, it is hard to find nowadays.. All the very best Davie www.uniproducts.com/eng/produits.asp?noc=17&nop=605
Nice fly pattern! Thanks for the instruction. Just a little constructive feedback if I may...your instructions are a little hard to understand. And, it may be me to some extent. But, if you could enunciate a little more and slightly slower and higher audible, it may make for a little easier for your audience to understand. Thanks so much for the quality instruction. Cheers.
Hi Michael, Thank you very much for your feedback, I know I need to improve though at times with work I struggle to get the time I would like to put into my videos as I mostly have to fund this myself..Sound has always been issue as I have always been let down with the quality of the microphones that I have bought though I'm saving for a new one...I'm glad that you liked the fly and thanks again... All the very best Davie...
You are truly enjoyable to watch.....your flies are so buggy and have that "fish catching " look. Keep the videos coming
Davie-thank you for letting me put this one in my box. tied up 10 last night and this morning. a very beautiful simple pattern.

Dear Dejvi!!!
Thanks you for your films, even badly understanding English to me it is possible to connect to fly.
thanks. this gives me ideas on wings using deer hair.
That is a stunning fly
Thank you! Great fly. 👍🏼
For the emerger pattern fine copper wire ribbing works great also.
Oh I forgot to say I dyed some strung grizzle hackle and some white hackle sunburst and they out well. that was my first attempt. I bought several items off eBay, thank you my friend for all your help.
Bill
I really enjoy your videos. I like this pattern a lot and am going to have to tie some up this winter.
beautiful job really nice
Excellent as always, Davie, thanks
Great fly as usual. I'll give it a run in the Montana back country waters.
BELLISSIMA!!
Thanks for your video Mr Devie,
you are the best !
Beautiful!! Tight lines🦗🐜🪰!!!!!
Dang, what a great fly.
Well... top notch as always Davie!!
well tied , will do a few for open day in Vic Australia sept 5th
That is a real buggie looking fly, it would sure as heck fool me. Great vid and you have my sub, as deserved.
Not to take anything away from Barry ord Clarke, I heard he was voted tier of the year but I think you are better. Your flies have a more detailed look and gives me the inspiration to keep trying
Davie you are an inspiration.....
Davie another top fly pal and expertly demonstrated. I have been trying to put a link of your channel onto mine but can't see how to do it, any pointers?
Exceptional. Thanks for sharing Sir.
Your flys are so nice. Really what I can do exept aplose you.
Davie,
Great version of this deadly pattern. Could i also get the link for the sparton wrap. I tried there site but its not much for making orders. I am in the states.
Thank you
Johnny
Thank you, Davie.
Do you add an egg sack and/or use lighter color deer hair when tying pattern to represent egg laying caddis, or spent caddis?
Best,
John
Love it have u ever fished it under a dry Caddis act as an indicator tks for the inspiration u truly are one the best out there ps best luck in your new venture with fulling mill
Hi Patrick,
You can easily use it as an indictor and fish a fly or two below and I have done this mostly with buzzer below...Thank you for the kind wishes and I do hope having Fulling Mill helping out will give me more time to improve my videos..
All the very best Davie
+Davie McPhail tks for the reply Davie can I ask do you fish this subsurface or do you gink it and fish it up top
Davey I was going to tie these up in a tan version for eastern pa. Should I stick with the brown thorax or go black
Hi Russell,
Brown would be my first choice though I do like black as well but you could mix the brown and black dubbing which would give you the best of both as I've done this many a time and it has mostly worked for me..
All the very best Davie
awesome Caddis
nice fly
Davie, new ideas I haven't used. Thanks!
Wish me luck on this fly. I'll be trying this one 🇺🇸
Me too......that could become my caddis go-to......easy to tie too!
I can't help but think that with a tail or trailing shuck that same pattern would make a dynamite mayfly emerger. Maybe shorten the wing.
