Davie, that was utterly mesmerising. You definitely make that look easy but I know it isn't. I stopped salmon fishing decades ago so for now I will concentrate on your wild brownie patterns but I hope some day to build up my skills to be able to tie flies like that. You are such an inspiration and I hope you continue to share these skills with us all. I am truly grateful that you dedicate your time to sharing the skills required for the art of fly tying. Thank you. And as always Thanks for the tips. 🎣👏👍
The needle slips right after he said how he liked it, A rare blooper from Davie haha, he really is a human and Legendary Fly Tying Master. Thanks for these videos, and the inspiration!
Great looking tube fly mate. Always a pleasure watching the Master tying beautiful flies. I was wondering if you could help me with getting a pair of plover wings my friend? I like using natural feathers when I’m tying my north country spider patterns. Thanks for sharing with us. Best Regards from West Virginia, Ken 🦃🦆🐜🎣
Hi Ken, The last skin I bought I got from Cookshill Tackle here in the UK though I know he has a long waiting list, do you have a Facebook page? All the very best Davie
Hi Ken, Do you have a link to your page on Facebook as I deleted your email as you will get lots of spam especially here on UA-cam...I hope you don't mind me doing this.. All the very best Davie
Hi Chus Gonzalez, I do tye flies just with the Opossum hair itself as it makes a great wing on any pattern so definitely do this though I would recommend tying some with part pf the skin as it will fish well for you..Thank you for the kind words... All the very best Davie...
Hi Davy, on your video of the Tummel monkey you said about a small wing to help balance the tungsten tube, could you explain this a bit more please. I am also looking to tie up some red flamethrower conehead tubes for the Border Esk, any chance you could do one of these please need all the help I can get.
Hi John, I would normally have a long wing to balance the weight of the tungsten tube though I have tyed them with a standard wing length as well but slightly heavier which also helps to get the fly to sit better.. All the very best Davie..
Hi Timothy, I have attached a link to a video in which I show how to attach a hook to the tube for you to see, it's around the 16 minute mark..ua-cam.com/video/1vJ5ihf-hNU/v-deo.html All the very best Davie
Hi @banned5045, What you do is thread the leader through the tube from the head of the fly to the back where you can attach a hook of your choice from a single to a treble.. All the very best Davie

Very nice tying Davie. Well explained too. Many thanks.
I've caught Northern Pike on this pattern too. It's a great way to get a relatively large profile that still casts easily.
Brilliant as always Davie
Lovely lookin fly Davie , hope your feeling better now ! 😉
very colorful, looks good!

Mike
Awesome pattern
Maravilha linda linda linda show show você é um grande gênio parabéns um abraço fica com deus
Dear Master, would it be a problem to put the opossum hair without the fur strip?It would influence the fly's swim?Thank you so match

@@DavieMcPhail Many thanks Davie, appreciate your advice
How do you attact a hook on the back of them
Hi Timothy,
I have attached a link to a video in which I show how to attach a hook to the tube for you to see, it's around the 16 minute mark..ua-cam.com/video/1vJ5ihf-hNU/v-deo.html
All the very best Davie
That's (under tail) not looks like bucktail, what was that? :)
Красиво !👍
How do you rig a hook on one of these?
Hi @banned5045,
What you do is thread the leader through the tube from the head of the fly to the back where you can attach a hook of your choice from a single to a treble..
All the very best Davie
@@DavieMcPhaildo you use a silicone tube whit the hook, or doest the hook fit inside the tube?
