From Wooly Buggers to fully dressed Atlantic salmon flies, Davie ties with immense talent. ( If I wasn't able to fish a Wooly Bugger I'd probably catch half the fish I do!)
Hey Davie, God I'm happy I found your channel. Great quality great flies and great skills. I'm a 15 year old in Dumfries and you channel has been a godsend, a fly tying channel from Scotland!
The scene with the hairdryer, I had to laugh hahaha. Another great example of master craftmanship. Thank you very much for sharing Mr. McPhail.
It's odd, finding so many of your videos I have not seen before! And I call myself an admirer! If you go to a craft or sewing shop, you can find the same type of bead chain in coloured plastic and it won't cause your fly to swim upside down. Though sometimes you do want that but of weight! Pretty nice pattern Davie!!
Made me laugh when the hairdryer appears out of nowhere haha
Another great tie Davie. Thank you.
Nice looking fly Davie. The (basic) woolly bugger was the first fly I was shown how to tie a few years back. Many thanks for sharing.
Another great pattern Davie. I’ll try this one and see how I manage the tie! lol. Thank you for another one.
Love this fly.. the real take away here is the stuff you say while you are tying... the tip about how the fly rides chain eyes down is very valuable to us.. this is a beautiful take on the bugger... thanks again for sharing your knowledge... J
Hi Davie, thanks for your tutorials well explained and give me the confidence to try. Been trying for a year and proving successful.
Awesome Davie Awesome as per normal, all the best Peter and tight lines pal.
Another great pattern and tying Davie
A wolly bugger is a necessary in all anglers fly boxes. There are limitless varieties but now I have a template for another. Thanks David, beautifully done as always.

Gerry Doucet how do you fish the woolly bugger? I’ve tried it numerous times but never caught on it.

It is a tremendous fly for trout, especially in the early season. I have used it successfully for Atlantic Salmon on many occasions. I now tie large Willy buggers for saltwater fishing for stripped bass. Very effective.
Enjoyed it, Davie... thank you. Mike
Thank you for the video M.McPhail..
Thank you Davie, appreciate it, great fly
Simply the best Davie
Awesome fly, good color combo! 🎣
Great bugger mate. The bass and crappie would for sure jump on that. Thanks for sharing my friend. And happy holidays to you and you family. Best Regards, Ken
You and I tie the hackle in in the same fashion. I really think that it give more control over the look of the fly rather than those who tie it in at the rear and wrap forward. I find your technique of wrapping the eyes in last intriguing.
Very nice as usual Davie, I've caught a few brownies with the ones I tied on size 12,14 hooks, they tended to just nibble at the tail of the larger sizes,probably because the trout were a bit on the wee size. ATB 🍺
Great bugger Dave!
beautifully tied as usual Davie. Lovely. Could work for pike and perch too.
Thanks Davie, great.explanation. I have tied similar flies using olive green colured feathers and body on No.4 hooks with a tungsten bead for fresh run rainbows taking them deep on a sinking line. They take with a huge strike that takes your arm off (slight angler exaggeration). They are usually big fish but even the smaller three pounders will take a huge fly. Keep it up, love to watch and listen to your comments.
Enjoyed this lesson thank you sir
Une super mouche,j'adore,good job
Здравствуйте Davie McPhail! Очень просто, быстро и классно. Смотреть как Вы изобретаете, одно удовольствие. Спасибо за ваш труд!!! Сергей Н.
Title saids it all. I wonder how your woolly burger would work to turn it into a articulated streamer it looks awesome great ty!
Nice Bugger!!!! 😎
great fly.... I kept thinking it would be awesome in gold vs silver
An excellent example of a tested and true fly pattern.. I live in Northern Australia in Barramundi and crocodile country and most saltwater fly fisherman here will take a Woolly Bugger over a Clouser..
Wonderful!!!
Great looking flys Davie; guess the wife knows by now where the chain for the bathtub plug went eh? I was drilled on that one couple times ...good job bud!! Irresistible looking animal!
Как всегда на высоте!!!
Find it hard to call these flies, great job tho 👍🏻
Hi Davie, excellent video as always, I was wondering whether you could do the Peter Ross at some point?
Спасибо!Красиво!!!👍👍👍
Hi Davie. I have 1 of those but somehow or other a red dye underneath the dumbbell eyes on my fly adds a hotspot am thinking if you could make a cutthroat version of this to see what it would look like to you
I've caught pike and bass on this fly different colours as well as trout
Nice takeoff of the bugger , easy and inexpensive to tie . I like it :-/
the stalks at the end of the beads need to be cut off as they tend to shred the mono leader through time and you will be broken off, also take a sharpening stone to the end of the eyes because their is a burr on the end of each bead that chaffs the linel been tying a fly called the fozzie dog since 1989 we also had a black version of this way before the humungus was ever thought of. thanks to ian muckle of the last cast fishing club in bridge of earn
Очень вкусная муха! (Very tasty fly!))))
cukup satu kata "Sempurna" 👍
Will tie a few and test them on the trout and on a bigger size hook for Sharp tooth Catfish here in South Africa
I like that very nice...want buy its Thank Dave.
Can you tie a grasshopper pattern .You tie good flies .
Were do you get your marabou. Every time I find some supposedly select marabou i get about 1 good feather out if the bunch... awesome fly once again!
Красота! Хоть на ёлку вешай )
Hi Davie. As usual a very nice pattern. I will tie this in a bit smaller sizes (10-12) because the trout here like the smaller things. Please what's the vise you're using. I like the fine but still very strong point of that thing. As usual greetings and tight lines from the Čech Republic 🇨🇿. Robin.

Hi Robin, It's a great fly tyed in any size as I have tyed them down to a size 14, I use a law vice but unfortunately they are no longer being made,I have attached a link to a video of the vice for you to see.. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZYRqr7yCotOtd5M.html All then very best Davie
Hay David now you are getting to trying a fly from Scotland
Good video sir! I'm going assume that you are using these for Atlantic's? I'm also going assume that you can use various colors. I've been tying for a while but hadn't seen that tinsel method. I like it & am going to start using it.
I'm surprised that fly rides hook point up with only bead chain eyes. My experiences is that bead chain eyes aren't enough weight to cause, or at least guarantee, that the hook rides point up. Is there something else about this fly that makes that happen? Thanks - your vids are great!

Hi Zone3 ADK, I have found the balance in the fly to be ok as getting the balance right in the amount of materials you use in the tail and the weight of the hook and as well as the right size of dumbbells right will help to turn the fly over, if I went bigger than this I would have to use the heavy chain beads to get the fly to swim right...This is a great question and thanks for asking and l I'm glad you enjoyed the video... All the very best Davie
Lovely fly Davie as always Just one question. I'm a bit confused on chain bead eyes and where to tie them. Not so much on this pattern as you've explained that having them on top will flip the fly over which is your intention. I have seen patterns with marabou wings (cats whiskers, viva's etc) where people still put the chain eyes on top. Surely this flips the fly over which for a winged fly cant be right? Thanks again.
Afternoon davie, fantastic shuggie, absolutely love this pattern and you have it to a fine art. Iv been using metz grizzle hackle but it's a bit small compared to the hackle you use. Do you have a link or a specific name for the hackle?. Iv tried searching for Chinese grizzle hackle but I can't find a pinch of it.
👍💪
Отличная тобота и муха робочая 100%.
Is this hackle type/color what has been referred to as gray chinchilla?

Hi Tom, It's would certainly be the right colour for the Chinchilla hackles just like the ones I found on Ebay which I have attached a link toofor you to see.. www.ebay.com/itm/183753803263 All the very best Davie..
