I love watching these Fly Fishing videos. Thank you so much 🙏💯

Omg I haven’t seen this spot in 10 yrs, the memory’s. God I miss Scotland. My family are from Prestwick,they use to have a really nice hotel at one time, called the TOWANS. The good ole days. Hope to get home soon.

Hi Davie, I hope you will tie the copy of the wee grey duster. Lovely to see you out and about as we approach the end of the season. Always a joy to see you in action

Tks davie for taking me fishing again your camera work puts the viewer right in the action tight lines

Beautiful place to fish. Looks really peaceful.

💪🏻💪🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻✌🏻✌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻nice video ...nice river / nice nature i like your fly fishing films ....greetings from switzerland

What a terrific clip. Beautiful fishing in Beautiful scenery..thanks so much as always for these fantastic posts.

Lovely stretch of water that very healthy too cheers davie all the best mate.

I'm really enjoying these videos Davie...great to go fishing with you on your local rivers using your small dry flies and balanced setup......always learn something from your experience and tips..nice to see some healthy pods of grayling too...the bigger ones liked your nymph :) when dry droppering a bit deeper...thanks for sharing

Really enjoyed this Davie, your explanation of set up and commentary of how you are fishing is helpful. Lovely Grayling too.

Wonderful video, Davie. Thanks for taking us along.

Love the video, well done Davie. Great scenery, good discussion of the fish, and some of the structure you are fishing. Thanks for sharing Davie.

Lovely stuff. Keep them coming Davie. Looking forward to the grayling season. Got a couple wee nymph rigs already setup. Like using a new Zealand strike wool indicator and a couple nymphs. Really like the indicator method. Reminds me of float fishing 🤣

Good stuff Davie . Enjoyed it very much . Thank you for the video .

Hi Davie, You're a real artist at handling fish - you wet your hand and balance them in your palm without pressure. The fish go back none the worse. Brilliant.

Lovely video…..what a great day you had! Thanks for sharing!

Great video Davie,I'm liking they flies,they do exactly what it says on the tin,but better,also your fly tying is exquisite,and your fishing is not bad either 😆 tight lines 🎣🎣

Love these videos Davie, especially when you’re on my local river the Ayr, thanks for sharing your day

Great video again sir good fun for a few hours in the afternoon hopefully see that wee fly so can get a few done for the clyde on Monday

So nice to see this. I caught my first trout on a dry fly I tied this summer. It is a Coq de Leon, cul de canard, elk hair caddis. That fly even help my friend catch one also. Can't get better than that. Keep those videos comming mr. McPhail.

I love days like this. So nice just you and the creek. Wow you are in the wildlife again.

Great video, the Ayr looks to be well worth fishing. I'm on the east coast of Scotland and mostly I'm on Tweed and her tributaries. The grayling seem to be on the increase over this side, and colonising upstream areas they haven't been seen much on in the past. Thanks Davie.

Hi davie, that's where I always fish usually great stretch of water each way from gargidth bridge, always nice trout just down from the viaduct aswell. Great video👍

Loved every second Davie thank you

Great countryside and what a joy to be out on the river. It’s what we anglers fish for.

Hello Davie I have been catching you here and there since the early days on FTF site. Great video and better to see you still tying and on the water. Tight lines my friend.

Nothing compares to a good dry fly day...

I realy enjoy your tying vidios , the fishing vidios are fantastic keep up the great work thanks for your time . Cheers

Phew! Worn out now. Thanks for the trip out Davie.

Bang on davie mate great day's fishing.

I truly enjoy seeing rivers from other parts of the world. Although in this regard I believe Sweden and Scotland are more similar than different, apart from the subarctic maybe. Thanks for bringing us along 👍

Another great video Davie. Is that up near Ballochmyle.

Excellent video davie 👍🏻

Excellent days fishing on the river!😁

What a session you’ve had mate

The cool thing is twofold. You share your thought process with us and even from my perch here in Northern Alberta, I can go on Google Earth and look at the stretch you are fishing. I'm not sure I ever drove through there it has been many years. I've always wondered about the difference between Arctic Grayling and your European Grayling. Are they creatures of the same habits? I could catch Grayling all day and be happy. That is a pretty river Davie take care.

Lovely video Davie - reminds of a river I fished as a lad in N Ireland. I hope those blackberries were above dog pee height 😉.

Hi Davie. Looks a lovely wee set up you have their. How are the cadence rods action wise? I fish dries most of the time and looking for a lighter set up from my #7. I also noticed your set up looked streamlined never noticed a braided loop of the end of the fly line, what knot do you use from the fly line to the taper? I've been trying to perfect that for many years with nail knots etc

I really enjoy going fishing with you. Like hearing your observations. Would be nice if you ocationally told us how long your cast you are making?Just hard to get an idea from the video. By the way nice cast in between the two rock in the last few minutes of video. I usually curse the trout when I've laid out a nice cast and get a good drift and the don't have the curticy to take my fly. Anyway thanks again for taking us along.

So great river ! WAAAAOOOOOOOOOOO !

Hi Davie really enjoyed your video thank you. Re Cadence rods, I am looking to get one for large still water. It looks like it throws a good line but not too stiff? How to you rate build quality on these and do you know if they are made in Japan , China or Korea? Many thanks.

Is it true you cant fish the river Ayr for grayling during the winter? If so its a shame.. lovely to see the grey duster in use, one of my go to dry flies 👍

Love it! Davie, are most or all waters in Scotland private? As you have said you get 1 day a week on the River Doon, and on the River Ayr you indicated you have to fish above the railroad bridge. I also never see anyone else fishing. Although it is always nice when you have water all to yourself. Here in Colorado we have more public water than I can fish in a lifetime. Just wondering

Great video Dave, would love to fish spiders on there.

Great day at the river.

Благодарю ,Дэви! Очень интересно, места просто - супер!

I have just managed to download and watch the end section which answers my enquiry

Thanks Davie! You made an average day good 🐟🎣

Ah, you fish a Triangle Taper? I do as well! 👍

That spot is only 5,139 mi from my home in Long Beach, CA USA. Hope you don't mind if I fish your spot should I find myself in your town.

A lot of fish with toothaches Davie😂

HI Davie Offshore off the coast of Somalia at the moment so the internet is not that great so I have to wait to watch the wheel of fortune losing the will to live on my lap top as it buffers to down load your excellent videos but well worth it .So many small grayling and little browns is there anything bigger these days or has the days of the big slabs only found in stocked reservoirs now and the organic natural beautys are all but dissapeared .You mentioned around about 31:05 a perfect wet fly/nymph spot, may I ask woud you still use a floating line with fluro carbon there or a slow intermediate.Thanks again Davie makes my evenings a lot more pleasant

Maybe you’ll get up to Sanquhar fishing, 50 yrs ago.

Hi Davie question please, how much of your say 12 feet leader should you de grease? if too much of the leader is under the water could that make it more difficult to hook the fish? thanks Davie I'm just learning. cheers!

Hi Myles Reilly, It all depends on how I want the flies to sit or drift just as the naturals are doing as I will grease my leader up which will allow your fly to drift quickly to de greasing the leader to slow up the fly and as well hide it from the fish...You could write a book just on this subject alone..great question.. All the very best Davie
