Once again sir, you never cease to impress. What a lovely fly. I have seen you use a hair drier before, but on this fly I actually laughed a bit watching the fibers dance. I never thought a fly could have a bad hair day, but you proved me wrong, and the hair drier trick really made a difference. Thank you once again Mr. McPhail for tying such a beautiful fly and being so detailed in your instructions.
It happens that I have the exact Whiting cdl chickabou soft hackle cape so I think I'll give this one a go. Thanks so much for sharing Davie. Your skills are unmatched at the vice!👍🙏✌
Now I can proudly tell everyone that Davie McPhail taught me how to tie my favorite flies...the Spey. ....on UA-cam. Yes, thank you for introducing me to Davie UA-cam lol.
Great looking spey fly, the body looks amazing but that cape is a beauty, maybe sometime you could tye a fly from the smaller end of it , thanks again davie.
Very beautiful fly, thank you Davie! And this inspires me to try some feathers form Golden and Amhurst pheasant skins, they look similar to these showed in this pattern.
Great looking spay fly! I love the spey style fly and I haven't any idea what the attraction is for me. I'm still not too good with the bronze mallard wings though. I need lots of practice. All the best, Sean
Здравствуйте Davie McPhail. Превосходная работа, остаётся только удивляться вашему трудолюбию и изобретательности. Интересно, Вы мухи сами выдумываете или повторяете из литературы или имитируете каких-то насекомых? С уважением Сергей Н.
Hi Sergey, I would say I do all three, though I would follow patterns from books when I first started tying and then I would add my own small touches to the odd pattern through to making some of my own..Thank you for the kind words.. All the very best Davie
Hi Labrador Fly Tying, The music was composed and played by my son Sean it's called Monet as I tried to paint my own Monet in a video and this is the track I used...He originally did this for me to use on my UA-cam videos as I need to own the copyright to use it in them...He did other tracks for me and this is one many ask about... All the very best Davie
Hi Rudy, I have listed the hackles below that I used on the Royal Spey... All the very best Davie Body Hackle, Whiting Soft Hackle with Chickabou Speckled or Mottled Copper Olive Throat, Teal
Hi Gizmo Carr, The Spey style flies go back a long way and can fish just as well as many of the new patterns we see today. All salmon flies and lure patterns aim to get movement and especially a teardrop shape in your fly and the Spey fly gives you this so they have stayed very popular with many salmon and steelhead fishers. All the very best Davie
@@DavieMcPhail I was relating Spey Rods with Spey flies. I have tied smaller versions and used them for Trout and Steelhead. The less colorful and more natural patterns work better in clear water. Colorful natural materials work well with a tiny amount of sparkle. Too much sparkle and trout avoid flies like the plague. Thank you for answering my question
a Spey salmon fly, most are wet flies yeah. there are a few classic streamer patterns but basically every salmon fly, except for the nimphs and dry flies like bombers etc. are a wet fly style you swing with a spey rod.

I can not for the life of me make a wing out of mallard , Davie makes it look so easy , I keep trying . Once again Davie your the master !
Thanks for showing and instructing about feathers and where to find them on the bird!This was really helpful!:)
Awesome looking fly Davie. So well tied and explained. Thanks for sharing.
Great fly Davie, thanks. If only mallard would behave like that for me!

I like the way you set bronze mallard flank wings, this has helped me immensely.
It happens that I have the exact Whiting cdl chickabou soft hackle cape so I think I'll give this one a go. Thanks so much for sharing Davie. Your skills are unmatched at the vice!👍🙏✌
That fly is amazing. I need a coq de leon cape. Great jib once again mr. McPhail.
You make it look so easy Davie, thanks for sharing.

Wow the way you put that wing on makes it look super easy. I'm a very experienced tyer but the wings usually takes some time

What makes Spey patterns different from salmon patterns?

This is streamer or wet fly?
