Lovely job sir, I used brown organza instead of brown dubbing as I didn’t have any dubbing, worked a treat and looked great. Caught me plenty of fish especially at night. Love the vids.
Such a beautiful fly and video! I've been watching fly tying videos for few months now, learning to tie. You sir are no doubt best pedagogue and tier out there. The calmness and methodology, selection of flies and materials, explanation etc. is just superb. Thank you so much! Please keep up the great work, regards from Serbia.
i know im asking randomly but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb lost my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me
@Dangelo Valentin Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Time to raid the wifes gift wrap bag, I saw ribbon in there that looks almost identical to the gold wrapping you used for the pupa's abdomen. Love the thrifty use of materials for the eyes too!

Such a brilliant fly. I saw this video last spring, decided to tie few of these with slight modification. (tungstein bead as im mostly fishing deep and fast rapids) I caught id say something like 80% of my brown trouts with this last summer. Totally fell in love with this and also other variations that ive made with organza after. You have had a great influence on my fly tying. Cheers from Finland!
Hi Davie , I’ve learned a lot with you . Your flies are masterpieces , Kelly Galloup once said in a video “ with Davie McPhail is like ALL materials are at His command “ it’s a perfect description of you 😊so I looked for your Chanel to see you tie some midges , cause that was the first flies I want to do first , I just started tying flies , thanks to you they look very good for a beginner, thank you , I have a question .I have a pheasant skin that’s very greasy and smells a bit , is there a way to make it clean ? All the best for you
Very impressive look for a small ribbon. I have bought organza from a ribbon supply in a few colors. I found that and synthetic raffia really cheap. Enough for the rest of my life and I would still have to share it to be through it all. Happy New Year. Sean
I'm really liking all the Caddis fly tying videos you have out! It's my favorite fly to tie right now! I'm going to try them out here, in British Columbia, on the stillwaters we have in the interior. Was just wondering what you think about using Peacock Herl for the head
Outstanding. And I have to say it - I'm considering selling one of my sister's kidneys to raise money for a Law vice like yours. It's just so perfect. I know the vice just holds the hook - all mine do - but that Law just does it so seamlessly. Damn it!
If you still want a Law vice, search out Jim McLaughlin. He makes a perfect reproduction to a breathtaking standard, for about 25% of the current Law price. But be aware, he has a queue, waiting.
Update: 4 years later this is still my go to sunfish fly. The worlds buggiest fish catcher. Release them or you will strip the fishery. haha Thanks again Davie for this *outstanding* fly.
Hi Robert, It's great to that you have been doing really well with this pattern and for a fish that we don't have here in Scotland..All the credit though goes down to you for tying it and giving it a go so well done and thank you for letting me know... All the very best Davie...
Great pattern Davie, since you like using different matterials one of my daughters handed me scud back material and told me its sold in the dollar store as invicible bra strap. Comes in a frosted clear about 5 mil. Wide just paint with sharpie.Its about 2 m long last a while.
Hi R Loos, I just asked my daughter if she had any invisible bra straps and lo and behold she had some, I can see what you mean it's perfect for scud and I'm sure a few other patterns...Many thanks for the info and to your daughter as theres going be a lot of scuds made out of invisible bra straps....Brilliant... All the very best Davie
Beautiful fly, got hold of some organza today but it appears my nymph skin has gotten so old that the thread just keeps cutting through. I suppose it's a few years old and it seems a little fragile. Anyway, I'll certainly have another go at this once I get some more :)
Thanks Davie. I have been looking for yellow organza ribbon that is similar to what you use. All the yellow ones I find are very light yellow not the yellow/green color that you have. Can you share the brand of ribbon that you used? Thanks
Davy: Terrific looking fly. Could you tell us what brand of Organza ribbon you are using? Everything I see on line looks too bright a yellow. your adding the materials list really helps but for unusual materials could you hold up the packaging so we can see it and pause it in the video. Thanks so. much. Brad Clark
Hi Brad, I've attached a link to the ribbon I used in the video and as you can see it's very cheap and there's lots of colours... All the very best Davie www.floristsuppliesuk.com/Bulk-Buying/Ribbon/Organza-Ribbon/10mm-Woven-Edge-Organza
Hi Bob Chernecky, Yes use what you have as it does last quite long on the fly..I'm glad you liked the fly as they do work well... All the very best Davie
Incredibly talented fly tier. VERY Nice museum fly, looks like a perfect caddis immitation. But it takes way to long to tie to be a practical regular fly fishing fly or guide fly.
Hi @alixerik7661, I like to use pheasant tail on the back of caddis as well so this would be a good sub for the scud back..I have attached a link to a video of a pattern that I like to use the pheasant tail for you to see...ua-cam.com/video/SB-OPiX6JS4/v-deo.html All the very best Davie
Hi David Harvey, Most times you can't use what's been cut off but if a feather is long enough then you can easily tye another fly with it..I would say though if I was only tying for myself then I would probably spend more time using the cut offs rather than throwing them away but it would add more time on to tying another fly...I've a friend that drops by once in a while and he's never out my bucket looking to see what I've thrown in it... All the very best Davie
Hi Caton Farm, The lead tape is made by 3M so I have attached a link to it for you to see.. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/313638204300?hash=item49064b338c:g:FcUAAOSwxTRhFyTL All the very best Davie..
Would you recommend organza for terrestrial patterns, Davie? I was just thinking how much the organza looks like a bumble bee's furry body or maybe use it in black for a hawthorn fly pattern? Best wishes and lots of fish in the New Year!
Hi David R Bellairs, I have used it on a couple of dry flies but it needs a good floatant to keep it up, I would say that it's more suited for wets and nymphs...Happy New Year to you too and all the very best for 2016... Davie....
Hi Fytyer50, I've attached a link to the organza I used in the video which you can buy from many companies on the internet, I can't remember the company I bought mine from but I'm sure you will find one easily.. All the very best Davie www.floristsuppliesuk.com/Bulk-Buying/Ribbon/Organza-Ribbon/10mm-Woven-Edge-Organza
Davie it is amazing that you can have 74 views in %minutes;Happy;Thank you so much New Year,I hope you will keep us enthralled with you abilities throughout 2016
Hi Earl Cantrell, I'm always amazed myself how so many can view a video in a short time but I'm very happy that they do which I appreciate a lot as it's my inspiration to keep making them as I do enjoy it very much when I do get the chance...Happy New Year to you too and all the very best for 2016... ATB Davie...
I've been fishing the original-non organza version of Davies caddis pupa pattern and I think every fish that sees it, hits it. Imma tie up some of these and clean out the lake. lol
Davie, your gift is an understanding and an appreciation of color in flies. Thanks for showing me some things! 👍
Beautiful organza pattern. You are the best, Davie, don't ever forget that!
Thank you Nilson for the kind words...All the very best Davie

Aloha, Happy New Year Too🌴🌴🎣🎋💥💥
The sparkle from the organza is wonderful, I bet it imitates tiny airbubbles quite well.
A very nice start to the year. Good techniques for other materials. Thanks and we will stay tuned in. Health and happiness to you and yours this year!
Hi John Harmon,
I'm glad you liked the fly and all the very best for 2016 to you too..

Thank You for all your kind words and I'm glad you enjoy the videos....All the very best Davie...
Great fly again Davie. Love the herl effect the organza gives but with much more strength and durability. Thanks again for the inspiration.
Inspiration! Have to try this. Nice pupa to start off 2016 - and as always excellent tying. Thanks!
Time to raid the wifes gift wrap bag, I saw ribbon in there that looks almost identical to the gold wrapping you used for the pupa's abdomen. Love the thrifty use of materials for the eyes too!
excellent fly davie. used to tie a lot of hatching caddis patterns for the highland lochs. worked really well.
Super pattern as usual Davie, way to start off a creative year, thanks.

Yes use what you have as it does last quite long on the fly..I'm glad you liked the fly as they do work well...

Gorgeously buggy!
Incredibly talented fly tier. VERY Nice museum fly, looks like a perfect caddis immitation. But it takes way to long to tie to be a practical regular fly fishing fly or guide fly.
Very nice pattern David, thanks for sharing this. Do yo use this pattern on the lakes or just on the river? Happy new year.
Hi Santi Aguado,
These flies can be fished both in rivers and lochs...Hapy New Year to you too...
All the very best Davie..
Do you think the fly still rides top side up with the addition of the lead?
Hi DougJ,
It does sit fine especially in the faster water though the lead can turn the fly but they still fish well..
All the very best Davie
@@DavieMcPhail Best to you Davie. I thoroughly enjoy your tying videos.

Really nice!
