Tying a Hatchmaster Mayfly with Davie McPhail. 

Dick Alfs was a personal friend of mine and created the Hatchmaster pattern. While his fly shop in Ketchum, Idaho was in business, he and his wife Bobbie would get up at 4 in the morning and tie 20 dozen Hatchmasters in various colors and sizes. Dick told me they would all be sold by 6:30am. Dick was one of the best feather benders I ever knew.

One of the best mayfly patterns I 've ever seen - and you need only 5 minutes... ?!! That's magnificent!

Davie, another great pattern, indeed! Trying to tie my flies in the calm way you do it improved my tying tremendously. Thank you for that and keep up the good work. Have fun! Bert

just after tying a dozen of those, unreal and so easy :) thanks for the video :)

Love this Fly Very Easy to Tie and I am going to to put it on my Tying List To learn. Practice at it .Thanks I have Liked and watched your Videos . They are just Great . Thanks Dave .

So simple and great looking fly pattern! I will try some. Thanks Davie!

Love the simplicity of this fly. Excellent

Thanks Devie. Fantastic variant.

I did my 1st detached body fly foam curls up looks buggy should work thanks for all your sharing of fly tying !!

Love it! What a simple pattern. Jon

Absolutely love this, I will try this today.. Thanks Reg

I tied my 1st may fly like this turned out well. Thank you for sharing this .

Great tye as always Davie. I came across your tutorial while searching for an Uffe's Killer tutorial. I was surprised to see that nobody on RU-vid has a tutorial on it! Ive searched on all the normal fly tying groups. I can find the materials and how the fly looks, but no videos anywhere, and I've found others asking the same questions on how to tye it. I believe it's a Norwegian pattern but the materials for it can be found in English. Maybe it's too difficult and that's why there's no tutorials? I reckon a man of your calibre could nail it!?

Bellissima, un opera d'arte complimenti maestro

Hi Davie That is a awsome fly the way you used one feather for the whole fly minus the one other feather yo used. Will have to play arround with that idea some.. Thanks for the Great Vids Chance

Magnífica mosca, veo que sigues sorprendiéndonos, felicidades. Superb fly, I see you're still surprising Davie, congratulations.

Wonderful

great simple fly Davie, i would like to see you tie a seaducer saltwater fly. I was tying one last night and spilled a bottle of head cement on my wife's cherrywood dinning table, she's not real happy with me now. it was too hot to tie in my garage here in Texas. anyway thank you for sharing your skills with the world, i have learned a great deal from your vids. peace love fish, daniel

another great fly awsome davie

Amazing as always Davie how long did the intro take to record this time lol looks great and the tie looks simple yet deadly As always Kenny

Can you please tell me were you buy your capes from and what make of vice do you use. Keep up the good work

Brilliant, can't wait to play with this beauty this winter. How small can you tie it down to and still float well? Does it take well to Gink or silicone or do you need a dry floatant? Thanks and All the Best. Mark

very cool

Would this be a good green drake?

Ace vid

hi davie love watching your vids

What draw would you use to fish this fly on a river and also the lake please Davie?

Would you strip this fly or figure of eight it?

Hi I have saddle capes from metz but I find it hard to get a good Chinese cock cape
