The way that fly came together was like a work of art!!!

[@octavianstan2009]

That's a beauty. It's been a while since I watched your priceless tutorials. I have to restart with that good habit. Thanks Mr. McPhail.

[@FlyTyer1948]

I bet that all-arounder would catch fish on any freshwater stream or lake I ever fished. What a lovely pattern. Thank you.

[@jakespool2000]

I Love how you are dubbing the thread.... looks great Davie!

[@benwu2123]

The tying, the instruction, and the fly itself are all so elegant.

[@bobbell5265]

Here in Colorado would probable go to an 18 maybe even a 20. Enjoyed your tie.

[@donaloflynn3922]

Thanks Davie. I’m sourcing white peacock tail feathers which I can see a lot of uses for when dyed.👍

[@bruceallen6377]

What sweet Emerger Davie! Thanks for your channel!

[@user-em1fb6xb2u]

Приветствую вас , Дэви! Вы не перестаёте удивлять своим творчеством! Замечательный экземпляр ручейника! Благодарю!👍🤝🇰🇿

[@derekcunningham9993]

Great video showing your techniques. Thanks

[@johnwilson6779]

Thanks again Davie, very therapeutic.

[@comesahorseman]

Nice! I might be looking for tying silk in the right shade of dun for the body.

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Looks really good with the peacock dyed . I do these sometimes with Coats and Clark thread spun until it’s rope for the abdomen touching turns or like you said biots . In any case a terrific pattern. Thanks for sharing.

[@krallmi48]

I did enjoy it, Davie... thank you.

[@puccini4530]

Absolutely superb, and an easy tie. I imagine that dun peacock would also look great if stripped of the herl. That CZ nymph hook pattern is great and I've tied hundreds of flys using them, but they're so big for their stated size I DO wish Fulling Mill would make them in #20 and #22. Those hooks 'keel' the fly beautifully, keeping the pattern upright and less wind-prone.

[@robertmajor4904]

Awesome fly, thank you for the very detailed tying explanation.

[@leonardwells9613]

Absolutely beautiful pattern, great tie….I would write more but I have to go buy more fly boxes 😂 L 👍🎣👍

[@xaquinele]

Awsome. Can’t wait to tie it. Thanks.

My mom has 2 white peacocks running around her house in California

[@callumclark3358]

Sorry, she’s down to one now😂

[@puccini4530]

We all need a mom like yours.

[@drummerleonard]

Another great video, can I use heroin hearl instead of peacock for this fly? Cheers

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Leonard,
Yes you can as it would be perfect for this fly as it a lovely fibre on a fly..I'm glad you liked the fly..
All the very best Davie

[@otts69]

Why do you take the eye out davie when you dye the peacock?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi @otts69,
The main reason is so that I can fit them in the dyeing pot and as well I prefer to keep my best eyes for quills separate from the other feathers, saves me hunting through them when I'm tying..
All the very best Davie

[@otts69]

Thanks for that davie,got some ordered 🙌

[@Weestuart81]
