Tying a Hare's Body Diawl-Bach by Davie McPhail 

Well, I’m not reserved with my compliments. I reckon I have passed the opportunity to deliver them in my youth. This is brilliant. A tweak here and there creates a departure. Love watching talent in the art I love. Thanks, Davie.

Beautiful version of 2 great flies.

I made several of these size 12 ,and it caught me several fish using them ,great pattern ,thank you

Thanks Davie, awesome pattern! You never fail to teach in all your tutorials. I swear every single video of yours I watch I learn a tip or technique. All the best to you sir! 👍😎

When I look at the thousands of flies tied around the world, I think of patterns that would work here in East Tennessee. This is one. Buggy, with movement, a bit of flash and yellow. Tying this one for the creeks here with brook trout in them.

That's a dandy looking pattern for around where I fish! Thank you for your videos Davie.👍✌

As always the highlight of my day. Beautiful pattern.

Fantastic looking pattern Davie, tied flawlessly too. This is my type of pattern all day long thanks for the tips pal.

So three years on, I have to tell you what a star this fly is. In various hook sizes it has caught me big browns and rainbows in the UK plus Largemouth, & Rock bass and other fish in the USA.👍

An amazing variant of my favorite fly. Thank you Davie.

Thank you again Davie. Stay well and keep tying!

Enjoyed it, Davie... thank you. Also should say I liked the specifically detailed tips along the way in the tie. Mike

Great looking little fly there mate. Will have to do some for next year when I go back to Henry’s Fork. Used some this year you shared with us all. Thank you very much. Have a great day. Best Regards,Ken

Thanks Davie for another great skillfull lesson in tying a fly.

I've been wondering if a Diawl-Bach would fish well in our rivers and streams Can't wait to give this a go. I've learned so much from your ties. Thank YOU!!!!

Awesome pattern, love watching your videos.

Be away for a while amazing glad I'm back thanks davy😃

The best pattern for small lakes! Great for perch, roach and... all fish :)

Great fly Davie.

Not only is it great for trout bluegills can't resist it. I believe I like this variation the best great work as always!

Best thread control on the internet

The wee Welsh devil is still one my loch/lake staples. Hares mask is perfect for pin fry. With some additional twists. Natural works. So does olive dyed mask with some hint of red or orange at tail and throat hackle position depending on if the fry are roach perch minnows or sticklebacks. Some nymphs/buzzers are also better suited to the hare and or stripped quill body devils #10s down to #16s. 12/14 are my sweet spot.

Merci pour le beau Montage

Super nice pattern

Love this video, Davie! One of my Ottawa Fly Fishing Society buddies gave me two of these this Spring in a fly swap and I've been wanting to tie it ever since! I like the opal rib and the technique for tying down the silver wire.

Looking great 👍

Great looking version of the diawl -Bach, very pin fry like, I will tie some for sure , I've had great success with the col dowmans diaw- Bach on the reservoirs can't wait to try this one, what would be the best way to fish this one on the rivers for the brownies ? thanks again davie atb.

Belle réalisation !!

Awesome pattern! It must catch fish!

Nice, as always Davie..... I’ll try tying this one (try being the operative word lol!).

Can i purchase this, its a must have for the fly box. I'm looking to expand my collection of flies. Also may start to tie myself. Great tying again.. brilliant

Cracking hare’s ear Diawl Bach Dave 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🐟🎣🙂

These are popular flies! Like t The Cormorant, it looks like you may tie them in a hundred ways! I would fish these in the moving water, would you use it in both? I love the mylar down both sides of the nymph!! That is a nice touch Davie. Have you ever done a video on your top three flies for Stillwater, or top three for River?? Thanks Davie, always such a pleasure to watch you tie or fish. I wonder how they would look on a #14 Draper hook?

Hi Davie, Love the videos. Have tied a few patterns in the past but only a novice really. Gonna have another crack at it soon, but having practised a few tecniques recently am finding I am really struggling with seeing the smaller flies even with my perscription reading glasses. Do you use any magnification device glasses, goggles etc. Any advice would be much apprieciated. Also what would be your top ten fly recommendations(not salmon) for both still and river fishing to give me a varied range to start with. Thanks and Regards Neil

Was just wondering if you could use another thread like uni 8/0 fire orange to change the colour of it Davie ? Let what they call a hot spot. Thanks angain mate for sharing your skills with us all. Best Regards, Ken

david I like your video do you have a fly tying book or dvd I ty flys when you come on if you have books or dvd wwhere can I get one

Nice fly

Класс.

Very nice fly, Davie. How do you suggest this fly be fished?

Lovely tying as always Davie. Wee question ........what method do you use to trim your superglue brush fibers??

Bonjour Davie quelles nymphes me conseillez vous pour la peche en reservoir merci Portez vous bien

👍👌

You'll get closer to the pronunciation of diawl if you say "de-owl" You say bach pretty well though. It means little devil in Welsh.

If I don't have jungle cock feathers, what can I use to make the eyes?

Nice fly
