I know it's late at night. But I lost it when it looked like his hand was talking.

Great tip with the buck tail to support the zonker. Thanks again Davie. 🍻

Davie , you are a good teacher , your work is amazing .

Thanks Davie!!! Smaller versions of this work well on redfish and speckled trout. The bunny strip has loads of action and the hackle pushes lots of water. Thanks for tying up some saltwater flies for us.

Здравствуйте Davie McPhail! Просто превосходная работа, спасибо за ваш труд, которым вы радуете нас, смотреть на вашу работу одно удовольствие. Сергей Н.

Great tie Davie. Not one I’ll be utilising but very attractive all the same. Thank you for another fun trip.

fulling mills makes nice products. Thanks for showing me another one to consider

thanks for that Davie, these are great for Irish Bass too! red head & white tail. Great vid

I tied some couple of weeks back, but didn't know about the buck tail trick. Genius idea, oh well I'd better re tie them. Thanks thats helped a lot.

Excellent tarpon fly! Thanks for the video! 🎣

so the music is better, to your elegance fits an elegant (quiet) music! As always - very good work👍🏻

Great looking fly mate. You could use that one for muskies and bass. Thanks for sharing another great pattern to have in your box of goodies. Best Regards, Ken

Dave one thing we found here in southwest Florida is to make a loop out of 80# test line and tie it to the back ( it is laying flat or perpendicular to the hood shank) about half the length of the hook shank off the back. this will keep the feathers or rabbit fur from wrapping around the hook. It doesn't interfere with the action or catching a tarpon. Just a thought

Hi Ma Knife Rods, I have seen this before but I can't remember where, I've never tried it myself but I can see it working really well...I appreciate your kind words and for reminding me about this method..... All the very best Davie

Thanks Davie, yet another excellent tutorial. Watching you tie in and wind the cock hackles, it occured to me that selecting and methods of use, of hackles isn't straight forward. Size of feather, when to tie in by the tip or base, hen or cock, which side of the feather facing the hook and the rules regarding the type of fly, i.e. trout, salmon, wet, dry, tube fly, are some of the many complications. If you're looking for a topic for one of your video tutorials, I think a lot of your viewers would find it of great interest. Thanks again Davie. Best. Stuart

Really nice! I learned a few things watching you ty. Thanks!

Good show. Perhaps at the end the subtle sound of your friend the ice cream man. Ha.

much better start, your just not the rock and rolling fly tier. I'm just a stick in the mud and like the calm beginning.

A nice and easy fly to tie that’s very effective and economical to tie .

Candy for those monstrous herring, have them licking their chops with that one;a guaranteed coronary for the angler. 😊

Like the eyes on the thumb 😂

Красиво очень!🐟🐟🐟👍👍👍

Круто....

This looks like something Dr. Suess dreamt up. I like the layer of varnish over UV. I found my UV flaking off in the salt water. So maybe the varnish will prevent that. I hope.

Hi Doug, It does help to seal the resin and stop water from getting under it which can happen especially in saltwater...Let me know how you get on... All the very best Davie

@@DavieMcPhail Hi Davie, Thank you for your response. I agree with what you are saying. It willl be a year before I can get back Saltwater fishing again. I will let you know how it turns out. Thanks you for all your invaluable advice. Doug Brien

Pacific Ling Cod Killa .....

Is there a reason for the long head on this fly ?
