Hi Dave very nice tying as always it's another one for my Dave box but I am still looking for that dry olive that I know will bring fish up in the rise to my olive fly I have beening out on the Corrib & fish feeding on olive all-round us & not one fish will look at our olive flyes one of my hardest flyes to get fish to take on for me & most of my fishing friend's that all said thank you for giving us your tying time & skills to us all so we can improve our on our own tying skills I hope you & your family & friend are staying safe at this hard times we are all find ourselves in love to all for Ireland
Beautiful tie.👍🏻 Great pattern to fish in PNW during BWO hatch in sizes 16-22. That same body and dubbing with partridge wrapped as softie great too. Thanks and stay well over there.
The first time I saw pardo Coq de Leon was on a video by Kelly Galloup. I thought that stuff was so cool I immediately called and the only one he had was the one he used in the video. I bought it. Never thought to use it as a post for a para olive.
Здравствуйте Davie McPhail. Превосходно выполнена мушка. Это как Вы умудрились двумя пальцами одни перья держать, а двумя другими этой же руки другое перо придерживать, вот что значит опыт в вязании. Муха выполнена с качеством в 100%. С уважением Сергей Н.
Dave, I love your UA-cam channel and the simplicity of the way you tie the flies. I in the US and interested in Victorian era salmon flies....mostly for the art of them as I have no need to fish with them ... as I fish for trout and bass here... I would like to know of a good trustworthy source to get one or two for display. Thank you. Tim S.
Did enjoy it, Davie... thank you. I don't know if I'm seeing a thing correctly... the dubbing in front of the wing post looks like it is moving the forward pointing hackle fibers back towards the sides. So it's clear of the fibers in the front area... yes? Thanks for the help, Davie... Mike
Hi Mike, Yes you are right they are lying back as the dubbing is holding back the hackle fibres so all you have to do is pull them forward although it makes no difference to the fly as it will still float ok and it does look good to me and more natural like..I'm glad you enjoyed the video Mike as it is a great pattern to have in your box... All the very best Davie..
@@DavieMcPhail Thank you, Davie... I assumed having the hackles clear at the front was one of the points to the tie. It reminded me of a fly Bonnie Harrop invented... a parachute rusty dun ( like a sherry spinner, near as I can tell). She trimmed the front quarter-ish of hackle away and turned it into a spent spinner. Story is, it changed the effectiveness of the pattern quite a bit.
Beautiful tying. I have numerous coloured peacock eyed herl, some pre stripped but the two toned effect does not look as prominent as yours, it still looks mostly dark, what company sells the best.
Hi Paul, The peacock I used came from Veniards, I buy them as 100 X-large peacock eyes and out of these I will normally get around 40% which are like the ones I used in the video the rest are still good enough to use on normal flies so there's no waste..If you know a shop that stocks their materials they should be able to order you some..I'm glad you liked the fly and thank you for the kind words.. All th very best Davie
Thanks for the info Davie, it was greatly appreciated, I just got back in to fly fishing and fly tying last year after an absence of 12 years which kept me out due to a shoulder injury, all my fishing in the last 12 years was match fishing. Nothing can beat the excitement of a trout rising to a dry fly especially if it's one you have tied your self.
Hi Alan, I used a ginger quill when they were on the water especially when they were coming off though I have caught on other flies as well like a claret and a hare's ear shuttlecock..I'm glad you enjoyed the video... All the very best Davie..
Morning Dominique, I am not too fussy what way the hackle turns with these hackles but the shiny side up would be the best looking but the fly will still float either way...It is a lovely pattern to tye and fish.. All the very best Davie..
Great example Davie. Loving those Coq du Leon feathers
Coq de Leon for wings looks proper, it's worth trying out. Thanks Davie! 👍

Nice fly. I learn something new from every one of you videos. Thank you
The anticipation of your posts is all gratifying. It's definitely worth the wait. Your techniques are amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Davie! This fly was magic on my local burn this evening.

Estimado, admiro su trabajo. Lo tengo como ejemplo para atar mis moscas. Saludos desde Argentina.
Love the fly, I have used the stripped hackle to stiffen the post up when wrapping. Cheers from Australia.

Thank You Sergey, I'm glad you liked the way I tyed the fly....

Hope you and the family are in good health Davie. Catch up when we get the all clear.

Great fly as always Davy 👍.
Have you got a tying for the claret dun that hatches on many of the hill lochs? It’s hard to find a pattern for them.
Hi Alan,
I used a ginger quill when they were on the water especially when they were coming off though I have caught on other flies as well like a claret and a hare's ear shuttlecock..I'm glad you enjoyed the video...
All the very best Davie..
Thank you, really enjoy your videos. Did you get a new lense? Images seem clearer?
Hi swahili42,
No new lens just good light this morning...Glad you liked the fly...
All the very best Davie..
Tanks for a very nice fly👍
Such a nice pattern. Do you wind the hackle shiny side up or down. Take care mr. McPhail. Atb!!
Morning Dominique,
I am not too fussy what way the hackle turns with these hackles but the shiny side up would be the best looking but the fly will still float either way...It is a lovely pattern to tye and fish..
All the very best Davie..
another nice one
Also, I use Polis Quills a lot. I didn’t know I could purchase the eyes dyed olive or other colors. Can I purchase Veniards products in the US?

Got to try some of these
Awsome stunning to watch
Nice!
Perfect
