Tying a Grey Duster Parachute D H with Davie McPhail 

Gave this pattern a try on my local stretch couple of days ago & it saved me from blanking with a few nice grayling to the net. Cheers Davie. 🎣👍

Beautifully tied as always. There is something special about simple flies with few materials that catch fish so well and also look amazing in the box.

Cheers Davie, really appreciate you showing the tying of the flies you are actually using in your videos on the river

That's a terrific fly! Love to fish it.

Great looking fly. I really enjoy fishing suggestive patterns like this. They don't really look like anything in particular, but they look a little bit like everything.

A beauty, Thanks Davie

Lovely tying Davie. Thanks

Great looking fly ! Mega Thx.

I always like a durable and simple to tie fly. Obviously Grayling like it! Nice pattern, thank you Davie!

A wee cracker and nice use of mole fur dub, which never gets much love. i like the idea of leaving a tuft of wing post over the back. I've used a similar dressing - the Grizzle Duster - in small sizes; but more often postless as a cripple to very good efffect on low, flat water, when spooky trout are just sipping. (Tiny and tail-less is good for midges/aphids and even in black when wee beetles/ants are on - it's very versatile) I first came across the postless Grizzle Duster in a book by Peter Gathercole (The Handbook of Fly Tying) about 20 odd years ago and he showed a stem-loop technique. I know other ways using mono, but I prefer the stem-loop as it's one less step - though maybe wasteful of genetic hackles! Perhaps you could show a postless variation some time, it's an interesting fly tying technique.

Love it Davie , so easy to tie in small sizes for late summer /Autumn

Saw you using that fly on your video and it was catching fine….both grayling and trout. Smashing fly, cheers Davie

Love this pattern Davie.

Great fly watched video off u fishing it superb big yin

As always, masterclass!!!

Great looking duster mate. Bet that one be a killer if you do one in olive. Love the video where you took us all fishing 🎣 with you mate. Thanks for sharing with us all. Best Regards from West Virginia, Ken

beautiful Davie

Damn! That is a great fly. SO adaptable. Off to make a dozen.

This should work great on my local waters, thanks for the pattern. I'll tie some up this weekend and give them a whirl.

Great fly Davie, as you say it represents a few flies. Cheers, Big Davie

Used mole on my last Iron Blues. Worked great. My Dynamite Harry’s haven’t been so good but practice make perfect. Fun stuff.

Ciertamente, un correcto montaje

Thanks Davie. I will have to ty up a few to put in my box and see how it works on cutthroat in N. Idaho.

Благодарю, Дэви! Мушка- класс! 👍🤝🇰🇿

Davie 👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😍

👌

Almost like a pattern I have come up with called the green Gandy I use it on the Gandy river inWV and all the other native streams in the area it works from late spring all the way into fall

Your Very entertaining davie so you are

Great to see the fly in action as well as how to tie. Was it that size you piggybacked the nymph on?

Simple ,small and deadly. Thanks Davie. Will this work on the lakes as well as running water? Many thanks.

Hi, Davy. Do you dye all your own stuf or do you buy it pre dyed. Also can you recommed a dye for fly tying materials. Thanks

Hi Davie Can you recommend which brand of Antron you use as its a minefield on line with lots of options Really want to try this pattern! thanks Si

Would there be a substitute to the mole fur?

Any chance you can contact me I want to ask you something ....amazing tie by the way...
