Thank you Mr. McPhail for your time and efforts in posting these videos for us to enjoy. Your expert and gentle ways are pleasurable and I do enjoy it so.
Thanks Davie, I was going through some of your old (7 year old!) videos and viewed this one. Once again I am off to my fly tying to trie some variations of your ideas. As always, top instructions. Thanks again. This week the river had been up to 49 m3/p.sec but dropped to 35 when we got into some fresh run wild Rainbows all about 2kg and in beautiful condition. Some of your natural nymph patern ideas got the best fish. So, thanks.again.
I can't tell you enough how much I have learned about tying flies from you and your video presentations. I have been attending a fly tying class and have exceeded the expectations by using some of your techniques. Thanks ever so much. Sean
Davie I have been tying flies for near 30 years. Throughout this time I have become an accomplished tier. You my friend are an ace tier. I like to watch different videos by different tiers to get new ideas. You are my favorite and I value your instruction.
Thank you Davie, I have watched you tie multiple patterns, and I do have to say you have cost me a bunch of money but well worth every penny. I just enjoy watching you tie and how you explain your steps even tho I am an accomplished fly tier I have learned so much from your video's THANK YOU for the info and opportunity to learn from such a talented guy.
David, Thank you so much for your videos! They are by far the most informative and very well made. I am relatively new to tying and watching these has helped tremendously. Also, the introduction music is absolutely perfect! Calming after a days work. Again, thank you!!! Have a great day! Chris
I think I'll try the Veevus threads. I order materials from Stockards and they have those items. Davie, I really enjoy your videos and appreciate you putting them out here on RU-vid for us. I just enjoy listening to your accent...of course, to you, you have no accent...lol. I lived in Aberdeen for a couple of years and loved it there. Didn't want to leave. I was in the Aberdeen Angling Association, the Stonehaven Angling Association, and the Aberdeen Thistle Sea Angling Association. I fished everywhere I could. The scenery there and everywhere I fished is stunning and the people are wonderful.
You cover these in a newer video as well and rightfully so. These and that little shrimp pattern in the updated video, are kind of "Must Haves!" Don't go to a trout stream without them! I have taken many fish on these!
Scott, that is VERY kind of you. Davie inboxed me with a link to where I may be able to find it. I'll find you on FB anyway. Always good to have fishing friends all over.
hello, looks good to me , especially last one ... gonna make a few tomorrow and test in Pyrenées mountains south France in 2 Sundays .... i'll be back to say if any luck.. The last Nymph really interests me at the moment ... Thanks for the simplicity of your tying and perfect filming/comments ...
Hi Davie a friend has told me to tie your black micro glint nymphs using gutterman No. 71 rainbow thread to tie your nymph and I've had great results with it as had he, you can buy the gutterman thread in John Lewis's haberdashery dept. it costs £1.70p a lot cheaper than some fly tying suppliers.
Davie thanks for the awesome vids, lord knows they help correct my poor thing habits. Love these flies. I tie similar patterns but not with micro glint. Where can I get this in the U.S. Or online?
Hi Davie, First I would like to thank you for the great videos. I was looking for the Veniards micro glint, hard to find in the US. I'm not apposed to buying from the UK, however I was also wondering if this is similar to the Veevus Iridescent threads. Thanks again.
Hi Fillmore Corpus, It looks like it's the same to me and if it's not it would work just as we'll...I'm glad you enjoy the videos and thank you for the kind words... All the very best Davie
Davie, What type of scissors do you use? They seem to have very thin blades that let you get close to material in tight places. The blades on my scissors are sharp but thick. Thanks, Steve
Hi jerrycolter, I can't promise to tye a fly that you would like but let me know the pattern you would like to see...Have a wonderful Christmas.. All the very best Davie
Hi Wyatt Mihok, There's a few company's that stock micro glint, I have attached a link to a google search I did so pick the one that is closest to you... All the very best Davie www.google.co.uk/#q=micro+glint+thread
