Tying a Hendrickson Nymph by Davie McPhail 

Who are you going to leave your hands to a great looking nymph watch you all the time

Man is a legend and the nicest dude ull ever meet ... u don't even need to ask for help and you get it .... TOP DUDE

Good morning Davey, very nice creation you have here. I rewatched your Hendrickson nymph video as I will be going to Upstate NY with a friend. These bugs should be moving around and maybe even hatching while we’re there. I’m going to tie some of them best I can with my available material and let you know how it works. Hopefully you can enjoy a couple days on the stream too. Be well. Tom T from NJ

Davie--so fascinating to see this fly through fresh eyes...so different than the traditional Catskill-style nymph we Northeast American fisherman grew up on. Looking forward to trying it this spring. Cheers. --Steve

Another beauty Davie. Love the idea of cdc for gills. Great tip thank you.

Yet another techniques masterclass.

excellent fly! Another great job Davie.

Don’t know how I missed this one when it was first published….beauty…

Evening Davie ,what a blessing to see your creation it is a real inspiration, thank you

You make it look so easy. Mega Thx

And it is a nice take on the Hendrickson nymph. Mike

Looks good, it’s the best Hendrickson imitation I’ve seen anyway, I’ve noticed a lot of fly dressers try to invent there own nymphs etc. but patterns like this,pheasant tail etc are designed for a purpose and that’s to imitate a proper insect

Ahh, morning coffee with Davie and fly fishing on my mind here in very wintery Montana. 😉👍

Thanks Davie

Thank you for showing this leggy nymph pattern. It is quite popular in the Pacific North West of North America. We tie it in olive and walnut brown. Sometimes with a flashback thorax cover.

A real beauty. It looks so easy when you tie it.

Great looking nymph mate. Thanks for sharing with us all again. Best Regards from West Virginia, Ken

I did enjoy it, Davie... thank you. Mike

Another scruffy good looking fly Thanks, Davie

Beautiful as always davie tks

A very good imitation Davie! Thanks

Great pattern Davie thx for sharing

Great looking fly. Thanks for sharing. I think I'll give this one a try.

Another great tie. When I break off extra fine wire, I’ve always struggled getting a good grip on the wire. I saw you did also. I now grab the wire, close to the hook, with my hackle pliers. It twists off very easy, and now holds the wire for the next fly. Great pattern.

Another beautiful ty well done thanks for sharing

Great fly tying Davie

thank you thank you thank you!!! not to speak for anyone else but I almost become hyper-obsessive when it comes to patterns and representations, it's refreshing to see someone of your caliber admit to a span-new patterns based on a request of a natural... thanks 1000x again for all the content and inspiration

Great video awesome fly clear concise explanation of technique

Well Done Again Davie!

That's a great one Davie.i lov we to fish them here in the usa.catches fish.wrlk done.thanks for sharing

Lovely nymph Davie 👌

Perfect!

Great colors! It should work. 👍

Отличная работа,👍

Great pattern! There is a book that I would recommend if you find the time. It's "Selective Trout" with illustrations by Dave Whitlock. It was a seminal work that goes deep into entomology and the "triggers" that go into fly styles and construction. A great book for North American styles and maybe UK as well.

Муха - класс! Благодарю, Дэви!👍🤝🇰🇿

superbe Davie

Have you thought about using yellow dyed marabou for the body and peacock for the thorax? Great fly.

👏👏👍👍

👍💪

i wonder if my salt bay mullet will eat this bug... going to try it..our sea mullets are very picky havent caught one yet unless i snag it

Which varnish do you use for the heads? Thank you very much and greetings from Canada ;-)

Why does it keep happening to me that the thread I use Extreme Standard 8/0 6/0 when tying the music constantly breaks, some say it's up to the bomb, others say it's up to the end, can you help me with that?

Hi davie I'm following you on Facebook but I don't have the option of commenting on your posts dose anyone know why ?...I've done the add friend request do I have to wait until the friend request is accepted before I can comment ?.....

Hello Davie. Do you accept tying challenges from your comments here? if so I watched a Marc Petitjean video where he tied a mayfly in a way I have never seen. I'm not sure if you've tied this in a video yet, but it is really kicking my butt! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7QhjbGlaO70.html that is where he starts tying it. Its almost 100% CDC. Thank you sir!
