Love the look of that quill body. Definitely one to try. Mind you, having watched and tied from a number of your video I now have more fly boxes than I can carry! 😂
This pattern looks like it will make a great impression on the water Davie...I look forward to tying some up and giving them a go on wild brownies...thanks for sharing as ever
Brilliant. Interestingly, those are the modifications I made myself to the DH you showed recently. Not as replacements for the original, but as alternatives. It can stand a wisp of ice dub in the materials, too. This fly offers multiple opportunities for variation. Love it.
Beautiful and light. You must have a buddy that duck hunts. But I love the fly. A lighter more see through look. I guess domestic duck will work especially in 16's which is the size I wind up tying anyway,
Great looking DH variant. I had succes this fall with a nice caddis pattern. It's got a cdc dody with a cdl underwing. It's got a cdc bubble and a elk wing. Finished the fly with some cdc as a dubbing at the front. Really good pattern.
Davie I know you use Fulling Mill for several reasons and I know one of the reasons is that they sell a good product. I'm a little bit surprised at the lack of light wire Czech style hooks out there. That curve makes many fly patterns look better, though I am not a fish. I do have some very light wire Black nickel plated hooks, with a curved shank and barbless that will do the trick. I can't easily purchase Fulling Mill here. I like this version of Dynamite Harry. Hope your day goes well.
I have wondered if there is any functional benefit to using different materials for the wing post (ep fibers, deer hair, poly, CDC, elk, etc), or is its functionality only: a) to be seen as an indicator, and b) to serve as the structure from which we will horizontally orient our hackle fibers (in order to have the fly sit lower in the film). My success as a tyer is largely because of the wealth of knowledge you have supplied me over the years through your videos. I love the pattern and will continue to watch. One of these days I have to get around to joining one of your giveaways, I would love to hold a Davie fly in my hands one day. Thanks again for all your hard work. All the best from NY.
May I answer? The thing about tying out own flies, is we can experiment. The vertical post may do two things. In the case of Dynamite Harry, it provides both a post and a wing silhouette. With some patterns it may be trimmed to simply provide a wrapping post. Actually there is a third use and that is flotation. If you are going to substitute, simply determine the reason there is a post and then use materials that will provide the same properties.
Hi Tyler, If you look closely at a peacock quill you will see that the herl is only on one edge but both side of that edge and the other side has none but closer to the eye it shows up even more just as you saw in the video..I hope this makes sense to you as I used to think it was on both sides as well.. All the very best Davie
Hi Davie I’ve seen you use peacock for the body like this before and love it but never found anything that looks like this…..any advice would be welcome….Thanks Si

Totally amazing davie 👌
Lovely fly. I love the way you tie these flies, making it look so easy and effortless.

Forgive my ignorance but how in the world did you strip only one side of the peacock quill that’s a genius way to get a thinner biot like body
He didn’t.
