Great, I as think that the tail was made with the center of the feather but in reality the tail is make with a piece of nylon, LOGICAL,BEAUTIFUL

This one of my favourite patterns that you tie and one that I will tie in the near future. It looks like it has excellent movement in the water. I will tie it half the size as I see it nailing some Irish sea trout 👍

Beautiful fly. I found that fishing off rocky places the resin can get cracked and shatter. A layer of aquashure on top can prevent this.

A fantastic flytyer davie mc phail. I love watching him

You make fine videos and have inspired me to get my vise out after a couple of years in storage. Thank you much sir. Truly, Bruce Lange.

Wow. wonderful videos. Thanks so much for sharing.

Genius pattern Davie. I love the combo of feathers and synthetics. I bet that this one swims and breathes as if it were a natural baitfish. It looks to me like a streamer that would fool even the pickiest of eaters. As always, your technique is flawless!

Wow! Every time I watch your videos I learn something and it sparks ideas. Thanks!

Класс! Благодарю, Дэви! Отличная работа!👍🤝🇰🇿

nice dave, very nice you tying, is beautifull congratulations of brazil

Yes another fantastic fly davie cant wait to try it out for sea bass and sea trout.

Great fly Dave the ostrich herl has fantastic movement in the water. This will make a great fly for bass here in the States.

Hi Davie, Another great fly from your vice. This fly actually does a great job, as already stated, immitating the sandeels we have here in Denmark. But, I would probably add an extra stinger hook because of the long tail - decrease the chance of the fish only grabbing the tail. All the best, Carsten

As always, very impressive creativity.

Great fly I'm going to tie them smaller for bass here in the UK

I really like this pattern!

brilliant video - thanks very much.

Another excellent salt water predetor fly, thanks Davie. Might you have any plans to demonstrate your ideas for bonefish and tarpon patterns. All best Stuart

Interesting fly 👍👍

Hi davie, Looks really great, I going to try tying some too,

Hi Davie. Have you ever tied crab flies? Would love too see one by you. Great video! Cheers from the White River U.S.

Hi Dave I love this fly, the tying will be perfect for imitating sandeels her in Denmark, but where do you buy the Rhea feathers ? Hans Lindegaard

Hi Hans Lindegaard I have attached a link to a site that sells Rhea in many colours and not a bad price as well...I'm glad you liked the fly and that you are going to give it a go please, let me know how it fishes for you.... www.flygal.ca/shop/rhea-feathers/ All the very best Davie

Hi Davie. I have watching a lot of the fly you tying. I have a question, can I copy your fly picture and recipe, if so, can you wright to me how I do it. Thanks for sharing all your fly tying. All the best. Odd-Julian

Hi, to be honest I wouldn't call it a saltwater fly, it looks like a great pike fly as well! 23:36- instead of varnish, you could also rub it with a cloth soaked in some rubbing alcohol/surgical spirit, it works great and removes all of the remaining residue and tackiness :) take care.

Hi Davie, a gorgeous fly! Thanks for the video. Could you please tell what UV Longhair Fritz you exactly use here? Thanks in advance. All the best, Jan

Hi wtrw001, I've attached a link to the 40mm long hair uv fritz /chenille which is sold by Veniards, they are a wholesale company so any shop that stock their materials should be able to help you...I'm glad you liked the fly and thank you for the kind words... All the very best Davie www.veniard.com/product2589/section15/

Davie, as always your fly tying videos are awesome! I have seen them all and check frequently to see your new ones. Could you consider panning out at the beginning or at the end so we can see you while you are talking? It's nice to put a face with your dialogue. Thanks again!

Hey Davie, Brilliant! I love the tubing idea. When you used chickabou for the fry, did you still use the tubing? Chickabou has a really thick stem, I would think it would be hard to get that stem in there? Anyway, I haven't got Rhea yet. Christmas time and all. I did acquire some peacock secondary wing feathers. They have a fantastic marrying ability. Better than turkey (in my opinion). May never get more so I am saving them for atlantic salmon flies. Still love to watch. Thanks for sharing that design. All the best to you and yours. Sean

Hi Sean, Yes I did use the Larva Lace tubing with the chickabou, the flies I was tying were for rainbow trout that were feeding on small fry on some of the lakes down south..I can't remember if I had any problems getting the stems of the chickabou in the tubing and I've no chickabou left to try this again but just use CDC or hackles.. All the very best Davie

I wonder, do you like Deer Creek resin? I find it dries with no tack what so ever. I thought I saw you tie with it, but not sure. All the best, Still love this fly. Got tubing now so I am going to try it. Got some rhea too! I have amassed quite a collection over the last four years. Take care God bless, Sean

Hi Sean, I have used this resin in the past and it does set well, it is not very tacky as you said though I would always coat any resin with varnish even if they feel dry as they can go dull and the varnish will stop this..I have now tyed many flies with the rhea and I will be adding it to many more flies I'm sure as it's a great material... All the very best Davie

Hi Davie, what is the difference between Rhea n ostrich feathers, I know rhea are in S-America while Ostrich are mostly in S-Africa warm rgds

Hijparryprodeal, You'll find that Rhea is a lot finer and unless you wind the fibres you would think a lot of the herl wasn't there, it's also quite strong and mobile making for good flies...I've also found it to take the dye really well so it's certainly worth using on some of your flies..... All the very best Davie

***** Thank you Davie, I will try to get hold of some rhea. Best regards, Parry, Sadly besides this, i was trying to get some advice from Regal and also one of their dealers. I wanted to buy the Revolution Rotary with a Big Game head and a Medallion Rotary -C-Clamp with stainless head. I ask to them to confirm that I can interchange the head vice versa between the 2 versions of vice but till i have no success. The only difference eI saw in the revolution Rotary head was the counter balance, other then that the head looks all very similar.

what saltwater specie's do you fish for in Scotland Davie

Hi Outdoorsman 789. We have sea bass, grey mullet, pollock and what I used to fish for a lot when there were many around was seatrout but unfortunately they are very scarce now... All the very best Davie

Davie what do you fish for in the salt?

Hi Paul Kasputis, These flies were tied for Sea Bass and Seatrout but they would easily take many other fish feeding on Sandeels and small fish... Thanks for the kind words... All the very best Davie

There is a lot easier and more durable fry pattern than this as i believe the materials used are fragile,syntehic materials dont hold water and are more durable and give lovely movement when tied properly and are less tiring to cast when casting big flies all day Kind reguards steve

can be use for mackerel?
