I've been following your videos for several years. You never fail to impress me, sir.
Thank you for another excellent tying lesson. 1) If you add a small chartreuse butt, it imitates a female caddis with an egg sac. Trout will target the egg sac. 2) If you trim the underside of the hackle flat, the fly will sit steady on the water. It won't roll around as much.
Very pleasant way to spend a few minutes. Thanks for sharing!
Really nice pattern
Stunning as always! Im sure I speak for many here in voicing my appreciation for what you do and for continuing to post videos to keep us all busy during these crazy times. Stay safe and thank you!
I've been tying for almost 20 years and still can't make it look as easy and beautiful as you do, Davie! Your years of practice are evident!
Another nice tie dude. Thank you for another one to keep us busy. lol
Thanks for all you do for us mere mortals Davie. It’s appreciated. Keep safe.
I thoroughly enjoyed that. What a great version of a classic fly. I can't wait to tie some.
Just a joy to watch you dress a hook Davie. Thanks.
Nice one Davie. I liked the blended Ginger / Cree hackle application.
A beautiful wee fly Davie, and as usual, you made it look very easy.
Just arriving home after visiting my patients. Ready to copy your patterns. Thank you for keep us dreaming!
Beautiful little (wee!) caddis! They're a lot of fun to fish. Thanks for these videos, I always enjoy seeing the email notifications!
Wonderful. I love tying and fishing caddis patterns. Great job Sir
So good!..
Wonderful looking wee pattern! 👌
Lovely wee fly though itll be a while before we all get out,
Thanks for the content,
Stay safe.
Regards, Jay
I love your sedge flies! Great work.
Very very Nice friend Davie, thank you
Thanks for sharing your excellent tutorial!
neat and balanced. Beautiful job sir. Thanks
You make it look so simple. And there we are 🤔
Cree hackles are SO rare (perfect for Parachute Adams btw) I’ve been trying to find one forever and no luck. Thankfully Whiting does a Barred Dark Ginger that is close, but nothing beats actual Cree!!
Bellissima come tutte le tue mosche un saluto dall'Italia
Best enjoyed with subtitles.
Lovely, enjoyed that.
Nice job!! 😎
Nice fly 👍
👍👍
Davie when you cut The Roe Deer Hair are you going down to the skin? A SMASHING Caddis Imitation! Thank You Sir! Stay Well!
Bravo bella mosca 👍
🇨🇿CZ. 👀👍🏻 super 👍🏻👋🏻
Seems like an easier version of a goddard caddis.
Let's see your fly tying material storage solutions @Davie McPhail
Ever time I start tieing I realize I need more materials
Davie - why do you push that deer hair wing down do you want that wing sticking up to mimic a fluttering caddis?
Hi wyomingtrout,
I just like the wing to sit low close to the body which is more like an adult caddis, although once you start to fish the fly it will open out giving a good impression of a fluttering caddis..
All the very best Davie..
Could you tye a Griffiths gnat variation with one of those cree hackles?
Morning Jay,
It would be worth tying a few Griffiths gnats with the cree hackle, I tyed a cow dung pattern many years ago like this with both hackles and it worked a treat.....Stay safe and well..
All the very best Davie..
Substitute materials for deer hair ...can I use goat hair
Hi Sahil Shabir,
Goat may be a little soft but worth a go as you never know it could work really well...Let me know how you get on..
All the very best Davie
Why do you wrap thin wire on the body? Wouldn’t that make the fly sink?
Hi Mike,
In a fly like this the wire will not make any difference to the weight of the fly, it may do in smaller flies and lighter dressed patterns though..
All the very best Davie
Question Dave I have hooks that are bent like a curve at the end of the hook. Are these hooks good to use for tying dry flies?
Hi Mike,
It sounds like they may be offset and would probably be ok to use..
All the very best Davie
