Nice tie Davie. I like the tips with cutting the waste chenille and the black varnish.
Will be interested to see how Tassie trout like the ones that are on the way here😁
I have been learning tying tricks from you for the last 10 years! Thank you for all your videos!
Thank you Davie
As usual, I tried tying this after watching the video. I have to say getting the tips of the feathers to line up would try the patience of a saint! You make it look so easy though. Amazing skills Davie
Oh Davie that's a lovely trip down memory lane, and it's one of the few I haven't re - tied. I will have to put that right.
A golden oldie Davie, I remember tying this one 30 odd years ago. A favourite for rainbows, I got the tying from from Dave Collier’s book.
Beautiful
Hi Davie, Another great trout pattern expertly tied, with classic tips and techniques explained in your video. Best regards, Wayne 😀👍
Beautiful!
Very nice 👍
"Take your time... Nice and tight." 🙂 Very nice! I'll have to try that feather straightening technique! Thank you, Sir!
Thanks Davie for showing me what I should have done. Great fly tied brilliantly.
Absolutely beautifully tied Davie! I love the double tinsel, not only is it a looker, I imagine it is a sturdy fly as well. I’ve seen you do this on some of your salmon fly patterns and began using this method myself even on the simple bugger patterns, and it definitely elevated the pattern. Just another great tool to add to our boxes, you’re pretty good at giving us plenty to choose from.
Lovely fly style Davie. Thanks
Very nice Davie
Well done
As a young lad I also found that it is best to use the lid to get the black varnish. Fun to see you use the same method!
Beautifully tied Dave 👍🏻 I’ve caught so many trout on the Ace of Spades ♠️
Beautiful, great tip for straightening the feather
Always loved the look of matukas. Yours is just lovely.✌🏻😎
Great pattern for steelhead also.
Cheers from PNW USA!! And Seasons greetings as Thanksgiving is soon to be here.
I learn something from you every time Davie! You are the best, Thank you!
Brilliant!!! Love watching you tie traditional fly patterns.
That was a tremendous demonstration thanks again Davie 👌
Nothing beats an ace tks davie you have taken the mystery out of tying that fly and thanks for the varnish tips
Another classic, takes me back to the 80’s reading bob church in trout fisherman! Thanks
I may be crazy, but I like tying Matuka style. Lovely fly!
Beautiful fly
Masterclass in Matuka winging 👌
Very important fly for Brook trout fishing in the spring. Thanks Davie!
Think i request a variant of this on Facebook,good to see the og being tied ,think i remember using your old video for tying mine,still catching fish all year round with them.
Sensational .
Hate tying them, still get fish on them✌ brilliant video Davie
Nice work Davie. Another interesting pattern to try out.
Трудовая получилась матука!!!!
I love it!
Used to be one of my go to, early season flys. I never tinsel ribbed, only used the oval
Caught my 1st ever trout on an Ace of Spades. A cracking 3lb Brownie.
Hard to figure out why we do things, back in the 80s I use to fish a lot of different Matuka style flies and for some reason stopped using them . A few years ago I was digging through my fly boxes and found a whole box of these and used them and guess what they still work . I don’t have any ace of spades though so think I will tie some of these up today just because it’s -2 here in Montana and the fishing sucks right now . Thanks for the video
Devi is a great fly, thanks for showing!!! And tell me, do you knit winter flies under the ice, if there is anything, you can show it !!!
Hi Nikolay,
I've never iced fished though I have fished through the winter both on the river and when I used to manage a trout fishery many years ago..Most beaded nymph patterns worked as well as your standard nymphs Ijust had to get them down to the fish or fish very close to the bank and especially the mouth of the burns ..I'm glad you liked the fly..
All the very best Davie
first fly i ever caught a trout on in the river leven at dumbarton as a boy , sure i had it dangling from a bubble float with a bunch of maggots impaled onto the rusty hook but it still counts !
Класс! Благодарю, Дэви!
👌👍
Always making some of the most frustrating steps look eassssssy peezy!
More classic flies please.
I've just had my eureka moment as I have been building flies rather than dressing them thanks Davie.
Nice fly. What time of year would you fish it in the river?
Hi Iain,
I've fished it for sea trout many years ago which was in the summer months though It's mainly fished in the lochs as both brown trout and rainbows will take this fly I've even had pike on it..I'm glad you liked it..
All the very best Davie..
Nice looking fly thanks Davie.
I have a question about the vanish, my vanish dries out much quicker than yours, don't have so much time to work with it. Is there any tricks to slow it down? Love your work you're my fly tying Guru 🙏 thanks for your videos much appreciated Chris
Hey Chris I don’t have a lot of experience with varnish but maybe a touch of some thinner may solve your issue hope this helped ya
Thanks 🙏
I second what Tyler said. I use to steal a touch of my wife’s acetone. You can also add more to thin for more penetration into thread or materials or midge patterns.
Tight lines!!👍🏻
@@etamaman thanks 🙏
Davie, about your scissors, how do you sharpen them since you cut tinsel and wire with.
Hi Sera Tang,
I get around 6 months to a year out off a pair of scissors before I need to replace them as I have tried to sharpen them but never as good as they were..I only cut the tinsels with a pair that is on it's way out as I'll not do this with a new pair..I do need to invest in a good sharpener but they are not cheap though with the pairs I have went through over the years I could have bought one..Marry Christmas..
All the very best Davie..
Nice tip for tying out the chennille.
