I think I've watch this 10 or 20 times over the years. Your videos have made a lot of us better tyers. Thanks bro.
That fly looks absolutely amazing.. great job Davie.
Such a great way to do the eyes ! Thanks from Canada 🇨🇦
Just found this site - brilliant - no-nonsense tying. Thanks
Skvelá práca!Srdečná vďaka za inšpiráciu a ukážku mnohých viazačských techník.Sú veľkým prínosom pre všetkých,ktorí si muškárinu zamilovali.
Very realistic fly using traditional methods. No weaving, no fancy plastic molded bodies. Thanks again for another great pattern Davie.
For me this is, without any doubt, the most beautiful fly. It is very exiting to see it develop as you tie it.
Thank you for showing us how to tie it.
Hey Davie, I Like this pattern more every time I see you tie it. I have tied a few of them. Finally figured out what darning yarn was and they come out much better now. Practice has helped as well. I have amassed an enormous amount of tying materials over the year of tying. I never would have thought I would be here just one year later. I am sure the supplier loves to see me coming. All the best to you and yours. God Bless, Sean
An amazingly lifelike and easy to tie pattern. Thank you Davie for bringing this to us.
Davie, I never get tired of watching your posts. Another great tie. Thanks for your effort and expertise.
This is without a doubt one of my favourites. Fantastic pattern Davie, absolute gem pal
This fly and varieties of it are probably my favourites to tie.
Looks good enough to eat fishly speaking.
I love this one Davie. Sitting here browsing and there it was! It’s another one to try for me! Oh dear......
Thanks once more Davie. It’s a beauty.
And thank God you've not referred to the fly tying master practitioner Davie McPhail as 'Dude'. Such a juvenile and irritating habit.
I am amazed at the incredible artistry that is exhibited with your work. I have been tying what I would call "user type flies" for nearly 50 years that have been catching fish just fine but in no way qualify as artwork such as these.. inspiring is the only word that comes to the mind of this old fisherman. simply Inspiring!
Hi Davie!
Thank you for all your efforts! I have tied many of your patterns and I have to say they all work in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. I have fish you patterns in the Bow River, Old Man River, Livingstone River, Highwood river, Sheap River...all kind of creeks and even lakes...Awesome! Thank You!
Thanks Davey for sharing this beautiful fly. Reasonably easy and very fishy.
Hello Mister McPhail,
Thank you for this fabulous editing and sharing. Good continuation
I'am beggining to tie flys , some better than others and I could'nt praise your videos enough. I spent a fair bit on books on fly tying but no book can compare with this in real time. It's basically a one to one tuition for free. What a fantastically kind thing to do!
Top class , keep it up.
That was SO meditative.
Thank you.
If I were a fish, I would not hesitate to eat that bug! As always, you tie the best flies. Ii just purchased some scud back material and will tie this fly. I love watching ALL your videos!
I really like the looks of this pattern. I use an easy to tie olive caddis pupa with good success n have been wanting 2 take it to the next level. Thanks again 4 anthr great video n easy to follow instructions. God Bless.
Davie you an absolute master of the art. I have learned so much from you. Thank you so much.
I love how creative you are with style and material and honestly these are amazing buggy looking flies, 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I can’t add a thing I am a huge fan have been following for years... many thanks
Great to see that eye forming technique, will have to give it a go myself. My tying has been greatly improving by watching your videos, thank you!
My favorite fly. I enjoy watching you tie this pattern it makes me smile.
Hi Davie, I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge here online. This is a great bug pattern, and you describe the steps very well. Thanks, buddy.
Well Done!! Very enjoyable to watch you build this fly. This is an art.
Hi Grant N,
Over many years I have tyed many versions of this caddis pupa and this is the best one that I have came up with. The materials have changed a lot since I first started tying so you'll find this is what changes mostly..I simply look at the natural fly in it's different stages to get the shape and colour right..
All the very best Davie
So Creative! Great ideas.. Thank you for sharing
I have just tied up a row of these for the coming season. I would be surprised if you haven't almost emptied the river on this pattern at some stage as it looks absolutely irresistible Davie. A huge thanks for sharing. No doubt it would be a performer on the lough as well. One thing I have noticed, quite by accident.. shine a UV torch on this pattern & watch those nylon eyes illuminate. If only we could see what the trout see..
Tight lines for the season ahead Davie.
What a great pattern! So well done, Davie! Thank you.
I caught a number of trout on this fly last year. Love this pattern.
How could anyone give this a thumbs down? Great video and fly.
Very nice ty!! Tight lines🐛🕷️🐜!!!!
I'm not into fishing.
I don't know how I found this man's videos.
But my god its interesting.
Watched the whole video and I'm away to watch another.
have you ' converted ' yet? when did you buy your first fly rod?
I hope you have catched some trout, steelhead or salmon by now :D
Dave, thanks for taking the time to tie and post this fly. I plain to have some tied and ready for use on my local river and plan to use them for bream fishing with the fly rod. I think they also look like a wasp and believe they will do well.
Enjoy all your videos
Ronnie
This is such a great tie to get the tying incentive and ideas flowing again. It was one of your vids that got me so addicted to watching your artistry. I’m still amazed. I’ll save a run for ya whenever you feel like visiting the USA once this virus crud is under control. Until then, know I don’t comment on all your vids but do watch quite a bit. Cheers and stay hooked. Thanks much!!

Another belter davie mate thank you top man.
Dave, you are an amazing tier, it is so clear that I have much to learn,
MSG Leum
I just love this fly! I have tied a few, and just now I figured out why mine doesn't look like yours in the body. I didn't use darning yarn. I just used wool so it has more fibres coming off the yarn and therefore looks messier than yours. I did tie it along with you so I wouldn't forget anything but I just heard for the first time. "This is darning yarn I dyed"
All the best, Sean
Thanks for the video lessons! I learned a lot from you. Good luck!
That’s the best looking fly yet. Beautiful work Sir. I know I will be making these and hopefully after a dozen mine look close to yours. Thanks for a great demonstration
Just a fantastic display of natural artistry...thanks
Beautiful fly, Davie. I really like the alternating scudback/yarn technique. I'm going to give it a try.
Love this fly! Had a day recently where Rainbows were taking Caddis Nymphs, but they would not touch any nymph I threw at them. I am sure this would have done the trick! Although I would do a greenish body, this fly is such a gorgeous tie for the simplicity of the steps involved! Thank you for sharing it.
That fly is a work of art! Beautiful!
Your flies a re fantastic. i use them in Connecticut, USA and I've tied some for my grandfather in Pennsylvania. The y are truly miracle workers in the heavily pressured river I fish.
Nice Fly! Caddis flies are my favorite flies to tie and fish! Love to see new and innovative patterns! Need to get back into tying! helps me relax and take the edge off!
these are nice Lyle!!!
Nice.... amazing Museum fly, belongs in the Museum of Natural History display case.
Te salut Devie si multumes pentru prezentate .O zi buna
A true fly tying master class as always.
Thank you for this demonstration . Perfect like everytime
A great Caddis pattern Davie,thanks for showing.
Hi Davies
Thank you for your help, I think that yarn is going to be perfect. I've wanted to tie that fly for some time and now I have the final piece.
Love seeing the lead body old school way before beadheads!!
Just wanted to thank you for this fly. I love it.
Hi Davie,
Thanks for another great fly. You reminded me that I have a couple boxes of adult SF that needs to be used up, it makes a nice thorax & legs.
Cheers!
Thanks again for another great vid.
How flies fly over continents ...... Your caddis pupas are such a KILLER in the rivers of South France PYRENEES ... very solid , and in the water the colors are perfect ! in 2 or 3 slight different colors i Certifie that they are a Must over here ...You can fish them classic wetfly down stream , Nymphing up stream and even make them slide top water in the evening .... one of my TOP 5 .. BRAVO
davie, i will have to say this fly is simple, yet very 'life like'. alot of flies are more attractor, but this one looks like a true living insect. great job and beautiful tie.
Davie, you are the best of the best! Thanks for the great videos. :D
Love the method for making the eyes, very clever - simple and effective...
Love your flies! Learnd so much from you over the years;)
keep them coming Davie, excellent workmanship.
Superb flies and very effective keep up the vids
Wow! I've seen this kind of flies but i wasn't aware they are so simple to tie. And this trick with the eyes. Absolutely amazing! Thanks for upload.
Greetings from Poland.
Great looking fly!
You are taking fly tying to another level!
Davie, this Caddis pattern is so productive. Wonderful demonstration.
Amazing caddis Pupa pattern!
excellent that's a pretty 🐛 ✈ fly bug
Thanks for this video......your fly tying is amazing! Many blessings to you Davie! I wanted to tell you that the flies I tied of your patterns really worked well on the fish on the famous Madison River in Montana last week! thank you!!!
Thank You Brian...It's very kind of you to let me know how well the patterns I have filmed have worked for ....All the very best Davie
Amazin pupa. Going to get a few of these in my nymph box as soon as I can figure out where to get some scub back. Keep up the great videos.
Find it yet?
Thanks for putting the materials used in the about section. Helps a lot!
Davie,
What a fishy, terrific looking fly… which I’ll be tying. For those in the States, the yarn is available at Walmart in the sewing dept., dirt cheap and many useful colors.
Making the eyes- another epiphany! That’s a great tip.
your ties are unreal, you have a true skill, this may be the only video on you tube to not have trolling comments. .
Wow..nice video Dave!
BEAUTIFUL!....PERFECT IMITATION!...Congrat's!Davie...BR
Hi Billy Cosby,
Thank you very much the very kind words and for letting us know how well the fly worked for you. Well Done.....
All the very best Davie
Hi Davie.
Thanks for the reply. It amazes me you take the time to reply to all your questions and comments. That must take even more time than video editing! Thank you as well for giving serious thought and consideration to the answer to my question. I suspected that might be the case but wasn’t sure. I located the sparkle yarn but wasn’t satisfied with the colors. I doubted the antron would be likely to take dye well. Thanks again for all you contribute to the fly tying community.
That's a beautiful pattern Davie.
Beautiful fly indeed, I have to try it! I like a lot the texture of the dubbing you use for the thorax, I mostly use dubbings with hare or squirrel hair, but I like a lot the thick strands it has.
When I saw the picture, I was wondering how the insect was put on the hook without destroying it. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with out my own eyes. Great job! Thanks for posting.
Спасибо за науку! Отличная муха! Many thanks
Super job on that - there'll be some or these in my fly box soon.
Love it Davie , thanks !
Absolutely brilliant!!
Thanks for your suggestion I will keep practicing and am sure to find the middle ground. I did take one wrap around the bobbin and it seems to be working at present. So the bobbin is almost as loose as I can have it and one loop of thread keeps me from losing the bobbin down to the table. So far so good. Thanks for taking the time to answer. All the Best, Sean M. Mooney
Love that Fly, Great Davie
hi from portugal, just amazing loved it
Dave that fly is a beaut I will have to try to tie this one.
Beautiful!
you sir just got a new subscriber. Thank you for the great videos
Looks really good 👍
Thanks, nice video david.
Happy new year
Thank you Luis Seibold and a Happy New Year to you as well and all the very best for 2015...
Davie....
Uma verdadeira obra de arte. Parabéns.
Were I a fish, I'd definitely take this one as soon as it hits the water. Great work, Davie.
Beautiful insect!
Another great technique. The floss and scud could be used to make saltwater shrimp backs.
Thanks again
Love the eyes and horns.
