“Take your time . . .” “Till you’re happy with it . . .” “It’s up to yourself. . .” “Take your time . . .” “Just a matter of messin’ around . . .” “When you’re happy . . .” “Don’t worry about it . . .” “Once you’re happy . . .” Such an inviting and easygoing narrative makes me want to try and go easy on myself. Makes me enjoy the tie. Thank you Davie.
This fly saved my trip! Big fish all around me and they wouldn't take anything during a claibaetis hatch. It seemed they should take dries but they wouldn't touch them. I started thinking in terms of an emergency and put this fly on. First cast.....fish on! It saved the trip. Thank you. I am going to tie them in brown, olive, and black. I think the thin profile was helpful.
Another nice fly! Thank you for the video always a pleasure to watch you tie ! I will be giving this one a try.
Great tying yet again.
Nicely lightly dressed and such instructive video. Thanks
Awesome looking patern
Great looking fly Davie. Always well tied and explained. Thank you for sharing.
Cracking olive cruncher Davie 🐟🎣
Beautiful looking fly, stunning. I have added it to a little list of upcoming tying days. i will have your video at hand. Happy fishing!
Hi Davie,
I've only been fly tying for a year now and your videos have been the mainstay of my efforts. Still a long way to go but at least they're catching fish from Eyebrook :)
Just wanted to say that I really appreciate your work, your craftmenship and the fact you're willing to share it with all of us. Cheers and Happy New Year.
Always a pleasure to watch your art.
Beautiful tying and a great fly
excellent as always Davie, will be tying a few of these up for new season
many thanks
Kenny
Davie, a great fly so easily and professionally tied.
I aspire to tying them as good as you but I fear that day will be long in the future!
I've used this pattern in a few different colour combinations and had fish literally rip the rod out of my hand for these wee beauties, great fly for pretty much all year round.
Great fly and great advice. Thanks
hi Davie , another great video. brought back some memories as i can remember fishing from that same platform a long time ago
cheers
your still the best around the man with the plan
Beautiful
Excellent, thank you

@DavieMcPhail Awesome! I really appreciate it
You the master of fly tying:)
Thank you
Love the video Davie might give it a go I'm new to fly fishing and fly tying turning 15 so might ask for more tying stuff keep the videos coming really like them
Another cracking fly Davie,ALB Steve.
Jimmy told me your back home I was talking to him yesterday look forward to seeing the book about megan boyd
cheers mate
can I make a suggestion or a want I guess. Could you put a material list in your description? Makes it easier for the viewer like myself to get the right materials :)
another brilliant lesson thanks. Do you think it might be possible that you could teach us about dying feathers please? Thanks DP
Davie,
Thanks again for the excellent video. Can you define what a Cruncher is and how it might be different from other flies?
At 9:15 ....sounds like ya missed the icey haha
Nice flee btw :)
Hi Jcscoob,
I'm sure the ice cream van waits until I'm filming to come round just to annoy me but he does sell a good ice cream which makes up for it...ATB Davie..
Hi Davie once again thank you. What do you use to dye your feathers? I raise white Turkeys and with thanks giving just around the corner I will have plenty of white feathers to dye. Thanks for your time in making wonderful videos. Paul
Enjoyed the film, as usual Davie. Do you use the Cruncher when there are particular flies around, eg sedge?
Superb Davie as always, your techniques are very well practised and neatness and detail are incredible and definitely one of the most watchable on U Tube.How would you fish this, would it be top dropper on a floating line or midge tip with a dry on point and how would you retrieve the fly ,slow figure of 8 possibly
Hi Stuart,
I would happily fish this fly anywhere on the cast as it will still fish well and on both lines that you mentioned. Slow figure of eight and with an odd twitch is a good all round retrieve but I would also try other methods to just keeping in touch with it as I would do this with almost all the fiies I fish like this..Many thanks again for the kind words...
All the very best Davie..
Excellent Davie may fish this with a Diawl Bach aswell to take advantage of the slow retrieve working both fly's and occasional twitch as you say ,good methodology statement "keeping in touch with the fly" many thanks indeed
crackin lookin fly that !
Have you ever used lathkill fly tying supplies and if so what do you think of them
Hi Davey - How do you strip the peacock hackle for this fly - I'm struggling
@Thegamerskeep do you sell your feathers?
Kendo
Hi Davie
I would love to see you making more fishing videos it's pretty entertaning to watch?
ATB Difrent44
what hook and size is used in this video
all the best
hey Davie,
ive never used this type of fly would you mind telling me what exactly you us these flys for.
Davie, what kind of vice do you use?
If you see this comment where do you get your peacock eyes? The ones i have dont have the dark edge so you dont get the lovely segmented effect. I'm in the UK. Thank you in advance.
dave what is the best way to get good qills olive golden olive sunburst
Hi Allan McClenaghan,
You need to find the best eyes to get a good golden olive and sunburst so pick the one's which have the lightest coloured quills...
All the very best Davie
Dave I have synthetic qills they look ok when finished I'm going to try polish qills
do you dye the full fether of pecock herl
Hi Allan McClenaghan,
Yes it's worthwhile dying the whole feathers especially if you are tying these flies...
All the very best Davie
What bodymaterial are you using?
Hi Rene Kusk Christensen,
I used Peacock Quill on the body which comes from the eye of the Peacock, I remove the fine herl using bleach...I have attached a link to how I do this for you to see..
