Tying 2 Spider/Soft Hackle Wets by Davie McPhail 

Thanks, Davie. I like how innovative you are when it comes to hackles and bodies when tying the spiders..

Love these flies thanks Davie all the best mate tightlines.

Lovely flies Davie. Thanks for sharing.

Nice, very nice Davie! The fish around here seem to prefer simple patterns. Spiders and soft hackles are particularly deadly but have often thought a tiny bit of flash would be beneficial... will tie up a bunch tonight. Thank you and ATB! Hank

Proper flies those are Davie as we up north would say. Cheers

Brilliant demonstration as ever

awesome as always davie. did you ever get to throw that braddells split cane i sent you few years back. all the best andy.

beautiful as always

Super Davie, love the spiders.

Hi Davie, starting to get the spring fever now and just lookin at my fly tying kit to see what I need for this up and coming season if the snow ever starts to disappear...very long winter here. Do you use much moose hair? Beautiful simple flies those are and believe it or not I made similar with much smaller hooks that float on the water for trout in the late summer when they won't take anything else. I douse them in dry fly dressing. Great vids.

Davie, two super looking soft hackles you tied there. Is the glint thread the same as veevus iridescent thread? Is the partridge a Hungarian or chukkar / french variety? That's an awesome looking feather, I wondered if you could use those coverts for cheeks or shoulders on a streamer. It has the look of the vulturine you used on that elver pattern, or it's from the super clearness of your camcorder. Yours are the only videos I can clearly see thread wraps and direction of wraps, like at the head, very important thing that you you've taught me just by watching. Thanks again! 👍☝👋

Beautifully tied, Davie. When tying with micro glint, is a metal bobbin holder sufficient or should I use ceramic?

👍👍

lovely as allways davie class. davie if you could only bring 3 wets to fish with what would they be summer months or best all round. 👌👋👏

very nice fly tankiou Davie

hear in Newfoundland them flies are killer for sea run browns !!

I did enjoy it, Davie... Thanks. Seems like in the "old days" you almost always turned a hackle tip back after tying it in. Now it seems like you either just trim the hackle tip off, or cut it short before tying in in. My guess is the later two methods aren't quite as sound, but I don't really know that. Would you say what you see as the differences, please? Mike

Great looking spiders there mate. How small can you go with them Davie? Best Regards, Ken

Bardzo ładny wzór pozdrawiam 👍

Davie, is this hook similar or the equivalent to the Kamasan B170?
