Never has the old saying, "If these walls could talk", had more meaning in regards to fly tying. You sir have forgotten more than I will ever know. What a great ambassador for the craft and the sport of fly fishing. Thank you Davie for inviting us into your laboratory!
You have an incredible set-up, and the amount of fly tying materials is unbelievable. I watch all of Kelly Galloup’s videos, and he did a tour of his set-up, and you have more materials then he does. And he owns a fly shop lol. I consider you and Charley Craven to be the two most technical tiers on UA-cam. Thanks for sharing your gift.
Absolutely insane the amount of stuff you have Davie. 😱. My wife thinks Im bad with my 8 big plastic tubs filled with materials. I'll need to show her this video. Thanks for sharing. 👍👏🎣
In one word : Impressive !!! Thank you for showing Mr. Davie. After looking at almost all of you videos the last 6-7 weeks I can only say : "Please make a book of your best patterns". I'm sure it will bring a lot of satisfaction to many, many amateur flyfisherman like me. Greetings from the Čech Republic 🇨🇿.
Really enjoyed the tour of your tying room. Thank you for sharing! I simply love to watch anything you produce for us to watch. Refreshing and delightful content on my favorite sport.
Thank you Davie for sharing your “office” with us! It’s clear to me that it has evolved from a life long passion for fly tying. Your videos are great, I’ve learnt so much from watching you at the vice, please keep them coming 👍 Cheers Gra.
Wow what a set-up that is. I think you must have practically every piece of fly tying equipment on todays market. Very impressive what you have accumulated over the years love it.
Storage is always a challenge! I've changed my storage more often than I probably should and each time I think I've finally done it perfectly, I realize I have still not got there yet!! Recently I purchased some nice cabinets from a school science lab and they look great! I felt lined the inside of the drawers and stocked them up, I added mothball pkgs to keep beetles out. I'm hoping it is finally enough! Thank you for this privilege Davie, such a great thing room!!
I was thinking I had a lot of flying material, nothing compared to you sir. Can you see the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$you got there. But very nice work office. Just love it. How would think you need a ot of material for those tiny little bugs. Your great my friend. Love your channel. Way back from new Brunswick Canada keep up the great work. I tied may of your flies and did catch a lot of fish with it.thank you sir
Hey Davie..... This peek into your tying world didn’t surprise me at all. Until we took in the scope with regard to your materials stock..... well, it’s no small wonder when I want to tie along that nearly every time I don’t have the materials I need! OMG! I understand that you’ve been doing this for many years but..... 😳😳😳! I live on my own and can allocate the space how I like but then I’d have to collect LOTS more stock to justify it! lol Thank you so much for sharing your tying area with us. Super cool. 😊😊😊
Davie , отличная экскурсия !! Кажется, что времени так много впереди.., а на самом деле оно просто летит...((( И очень приятно, что у кого-то останутся воспоминания о вашем творчестве... и те.., кто еще в начальном пути будет учиться у вас.. и я то же ..)) С уважением Ирина Санкт-Петербург
A peek into the masters workshop. A treasure cave where I could easily lock myself up for days. Deeply impressed by how well everything is organized. I've got less than 1/10 of your material stock, but it still borders to chaos....:-)
What an awesome fly tying room you have, I love the art work. I have gleamed so much knowledge on fly tying just from watching your videos and I thank you for that. All the best to you and your family .
A wonderful insight into the scale that you work on Davey. Keeping things so ordered and clean must be a constant job. If you have room for it, there's a River Ayr fisherman's map awaiting you at Ayrshire Rivers Trust. Just let me know where and I'll drop it off sometime.
Thank You Stuart, I would love one of the River Ayr Fishermans map..I'll PM you through Facebook with my mobile number and we'll sort something out...ATB Davie..
Love it Davey, thanks for letting us into your fly tying world. One quick question. 'What is the vice you tie on'?. Im new to fly tying and trout fishing. This will be my first season starting in October 2013. I have only just got my equipment together and materials. For months I have watched your videos and they absolutely absorb me. Your instruction is fantastic. Kind regards, Paul (South Island New Zealand)
Hi Paul, Sorry about the delay in getting back to you and no worries about the name...I use a Law vice but unfortunately it's no longer being made, here is a link to it as I made a video about the vice.ua-cam.com/video/3P6MZIrpGG0/v-deo.html If you have a good tackle shop nearby they will keep you right on what you need or if you have a chance to go to a fly fair or show then you can see many vices being used by the fly tyers and get a feel for the one you would like..I'm glad you enjoy the videos.. All the very best Davie
Beautiful Davie, I'll let my wife see the video, and she'll maybe let me get more stuff. Oh and if you get burgled and they nick fly tying stuff, it definitely isn't me. Great video as always
That's a lovely insight into your world Davy ,thankyou very much 😀 My tables covered in varnish and glue with feathers,thread,fluff stuck to it haha 😄. Could you suggest apart from being tidier where I could get your blue matt thingy. 😀 that was great buddy. 👍
Morning James, I'm glad you like my setup...What I use on my desk is a light blue card with a piece of perspex cut to size and laid on top, I will replace it every couple of years or when needed as it does get varnish and glue on it over time..... All the very best Davie..
@@DavieMcPhail Hi Davy thanks very much for the speedy reply and insight. As I said really enjoyed it. I'll get onto that today. As I've said many times before,love the patterns and information given. Take care 🙂
Jings Davie, you could put a good angling store to shame with that collection! I bet Mrs McP lets you pack the car when you're away on your holidays! 🤣
I hope you have a map of where everything is cause I got lost after the first 6 tubs. Awesome work area. Wish I had a tying room.. Then there is the "Law" the most awesome vice to date....
Nice set up Davie, Like your whiskey stash , I noticed that you have an FNF talon vise, Ive been thinking about getting one! what are your thoghts?i know is not a waldron but, is the closest, is it good or?
Hi Ivan, I used the FNF Talon vice over a few weeks when I was making up sets of different flies and it held a hook as easy as the law so I would certainly recommend it..If you lived close by I would have been very happy for you to try it out, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a new vice as this is how I picked the law as I saw it being used and gave it a go..I'm glad you liked my setup and my stash of whisky... All the very best Davie..
Hi Kenny, If you are down my way and you want to drop by then do and drop in for a chat and a cuppa as you are very welcome to.. All the very best Davie
Маэстро, ваш обзор очень интересный, пожалуйста покажите применение vinil rib, во всех возможных вариантов применения, тело из винил риб на то он и винил риб, ещё возможные варианты?🙄
Hi Neil, I use a Law vice but unfortunately it's no longer being made, I have a video showing it so I have attached a link for you to see..ua-cam.com/video/3P6MZIrpGG0/v-deo.html All the very best Davie
My wife, who knows I’m an enthusiastic follower of Mr.McPhail, recently commented ‘ how much more fly tying stuff do you really need darling? ‘ …particularly since I bought you the coffee grinder etc…I just showed her this video …’ oh, still a long way to go yet then sweetheart ‘ was her response 😂 thanks for all your great tying and fishing videos …all the best for this season
What a wonderful fly tying room and collection of materials and tools, in my honest opinion you are one of the best fly tiers in the business, thank you for sharing this with us Davie, 👌🏽🏴
Jesus Christ Davie that is some amount of gearr you have there totaly speechless well laid out though bet your still adding to it you're going to need a bigger house mate
It's like a candy store for adults!! Must be nice to go to tie a fly and have everything you need. Usually if I want to tie a pattern I'm running to the store to buy half the materials. Get home tie a dozen or so then on to the next pattern and back to the store... Beautiful!!
Thanks for doing this for us, it helps others to see how you've chosen to do your set-up. Lots of ideas. You and your son did a good job with the bespoke cabinetry! I like the wrap-around desk and how you've arranged the room around it so things are within easy reach. Seems like you could put your hands on anything you need straight away. Thanks for letting us into your home!
My wife will never understand my closet full of materials, and hopefully never know how much it all cost... I love how your videos relax me and make me want to keep tying. I've been an avid fly tyer for 35 years and have never been fly fishing. Figure that one out.
Its 'Through the Peephole', who lives in a house like this?! Only the worlds finest fly tyer. You know its not me, my tying area (not room) looks like an explosion in a chicken coop, but I do know where everything is.
Boy am I jealous. My tying supplies are in storage for now 6 months and probably another 4-5 months till our house gets finished. Then I will have to build a fly tying bench along with my shop. So who knows then I will tie. I now buy minimum amount of flies to fish because all my flies are with my material. Ugh.
Davie this was a fascinating look at your tying room and the attention to detail is outstanding the way you have everything laid out is just superb, this shows your dedication to the art of fly tying and the craftsman that you are. Thank you Davie for allowing us to see this.
Hi Davie. I know this is way late but I’m curious if you’ve had any issues with your Daylight lamp? I’ve read some reviews and sounds like there have been problems with those. The current model is an update of that one so possibly they’ve overcome the issues. Thanks for the tour! Very nice area and great to see your son in his hockey gear.!!
Hi @coasterbrookie, I've owned the lamp now for around 3 years or so and I've had no problems with it, I use it every day for tying with and filming...I am looking at the new version as my son builds keyboards and likes borrowing it from time to time...I'm glad you liked the tour and I do miss my sons playing hockey, it's a great sport... All the very best David..
Good day! Your passion is impressive! And your perfectionism! What is the name of the lamp you are using? What's the model? Do you like the light it gives?
Hi Alex, I have attached a link to the desk lamp that I use and I would highly recommend it as it's by far the best one I have ever used and the light is perfect..I would recommend as well having a light blue or white background as this helps a lot as well..I have a large piece of light blue card and I lay a piece of clear perspex on top which is 2mm thick to protect the blue card it also gives you a great surface to work on and it protects my table too..I can't thank you enough for the kind words that you have wrote which does mean a huge amount to me.. All the very best Davie www.heamar.co.uk/daylight-task-lamps/65603-daylight-lumi-task-lamp-5022737355005.html?gmc=3&gclid=CjwKCAjwvsqZBhAlEiwAqAHElWuu2qPMEAJqP92XJh7zWBcnjl1AaHfQBpsCQ4rD3BNh1Kw4_n7RkhoCZPwQAvD_BwE
Good day David In this interesting video i noticed your tying vise on your work table,can you please provide me with the name and model of this vise. Best regards Dan Gaspe Quebec
Hi Dan, I use a Law vise but unfortunately it's no longer being made, I made a video of it which I have attached for you to see.. ua-cam.com/video/3P6MZIrpGG0/v-deo.html All the very best Davie..
I’ve noticed something, a lot of Tyers who video use a shade of blue back drop behind their flies to get them to contrast better, is that why you wear shirts of blue to keep from using the background behind fly? Good idea if that is why
Hi Caton Farm, The main reason I started using the blue shirt was that I used a light blue background on my table as this allowed me to see white flies and as well I felt that it didn't reflect the light from my light...So when I started filming I bought a blue shirt to do the same so now it's become the norm with many other tyers that film their flies.. All the very best Davie..
Your videos are always superlative, and the opportunity to see your working environment is an inspiration. Thank you for offering this intimate look into the space where you perform your craft. As I think any maker knows, the mastery of tools and materials and techniques can only come when one has crafted a space that will foster creativity and efficiency - that can only happen when there is an order imposed on all of those aforementioned elements. The fact that you have incorporated the technology possible with computation and 4K videography into this ancient craft is a gift to all of us who learn from your films.
Wow , I could spend a lifetime looking at just the materials. What a wonderful area you have created . Wish I could live another 100 years just to use materials and tie flies. I am 80 and of course bragging, but the more I tie the more I want to learn and I have only been at it about 35 or so years and learn something new every time I set down at my Norvise System which I have had for a little over 10 years. I love all you videos and actually have a folder with just links to your videos and several other tiers. Best of 2022 to you and your family. Hope your grandson is doing well, haven't seen any videos he has done in a while. I think he discovered girls and they messed him up a little, they will do that. Have a great and blessed day Jeff
NO PRESSURE MR. McPHAIL,,, YET ,,,, JUST TO PUT THINGS INTO PERSPECTIVE,,,,, YOU HAVE ALMOST,,, 5 FOOTBALL STADIUMS FULL OF PEOPLE,,,,,, WATCHING YOUR FANTASTIC VIDEOS,, EVERY TIME YOUR TYING A SUPER FLY !!!! I SUPPOSE THE REASON IS BECAUSE OF YOUR PASSION,,,, DEDICATION,,, PRESENTATION,, AND CREATIVITY,, ON A STEP BY STEP PROCESS,,, THRU YOUR TEACHING ABILITIES,,, THAT ARE CERTAINLY APPRECIATED,,, BY THOUSANDS OF US !!! AGAIN,, THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND TIPS AND TRICKS.. WELL DONE 👍… STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY !!!!!
Hi Mark, The two sizes that I have of the guterrmann thread are 150(1) and 120(1) which are sold as 6/0 and 8/0 www.veniard.com/bulk-tying-thread-80-10000-metre-spool/p/2934 All the very best Davie..

Thank you Davie for sharing your “office” with us! It’s clear to me that it has evolved from a life long passion for fly tying. Your videos are great, I’ve learnt so much from watching you at the vice, please keep them coming 👍 Cheers Gra.
First class Davie, thoroughly enjoy your tutorials and have learned CV a lot from you. Thanks. Bob S.
I always wondered what your set up and material trove looked like. Perfectly organized! Great video Davie, Thanks Cheers!

Thanks for sharing this, Davie. It's no surprise that a master of the craft has such a dialed set-up.

Thanks for sharing your personal space. Well organized and neat. Love the old metal filing cabinet, I’ve been looking for one for years now.
Fantastic to see your set up Davy, inspiring 👍

Thanks, Davie. That tour was very helpful. I have been tying flies for 30 years and I still feel like a beginner. You humble me every day.
And the books !!! I would spend days and days getting lost in the centuries of them... =]
Mike
thats a small room with a lot of history. The results of years fly tying, buying materials and still its always my favorite room.

Muchos cientos de euros invertidos, no falta de nada....
I've only just started fly tying and have a little plastic tackle box with my stuff in it. I have a way to go yet. :-)
Where do You store the moths, mine are everywhere....!!! ;- ) ;- ) ;- )
So much material, today maybe the.......green. 👌
I hope your insured, some of that cannot be replaced.
None of us can complain about how many pairs of shoes the wife has!
Shiiiiiiiit…. Got a few bit and bobs there…)) Admire how tidy it all is.
How did you get your wife's permission?
😂😂😂😂😂
A fine Aladins cave. I could get lost in there for hours
Great tying space ! Hope my wife never sees this video !
Inspiring, thanks for sharing Davie 👍

Good day! Your passion is impressive! And your perfectionism!
What is the name of the lamp you are using? What's the model? Do you like the light it gives?
Hi Alex,
I have attached a link to the desk lamp that I use and I would highly recommend it as it's by far the best one I have ever used and the light is perfect..I would recommend as well having a light blue or white background as this helps a lot as well..I have a large piece of light blue card and I lay a piece of clear perspex on top which is 2mm thick to protect the blue card it also gives you a great surface to work on and it protects my table too..I can't thank you enough for the kind words that you have wrote which does mean a huge amount to me..

And I thought I had a lot of material.
Congrats, thanks for sharing.
Your videos are always superlative, and the opportunity to see your working environment is an inspiration. Thank you for offering this intimate look into the space where you perform your craft. As I think any maker knows, the mastery of tools and materials and techniques can only come when one has crafted a space that will foster creativity and efficiency - that can only happen when there is an order imposed on all of those aforementioned elements. The fact that you have incorporated the technology possible with computation and 4K videography into this ancient craft is a gift to all of us who learn from your films.
Wow , I could spend a lifetime looking at just the materials. What a wonderful area you have created . Wish I could live another 100 years just to use materials and tie flies. I am 80 and of course bragging, but the more I tie the more I want to learn and I have only been at it about 35 or so years and learn something new every time I set down at my Norvise System which I have had for a little over 10 years. I love all you videos and actually have a folder with just links to your videos and several other tiers. Best of 2022 to you and your family. Hope your grandson is doing well, haven't seen any videos he has done in a while. I think he discovered girls and they messed him up a little, they will do that. Have a great and blessed day
Jeff
