Tying a Red Devil Shrimp Salmon Fly by Davie McPhail 

Hi Bryan, Yes you can tye it on a double as it's a really good fly on any hook even on singles as well..If you tye it on an alloy or plastic tube it will fish in shallow water too... All the very best Davie

Hi Timothy, I did say wax the thread and what this does is it makes the thread grip the materials far better with less turns and as well helps keep the turns of thread tight so your fly will last far longer..It will also strengthen the thread as well as protect it as this is the way it was originally used when the threads were made from silk and cotton..Happy New Year.. All the very best Davie...

Hi George, They are a quality pair of scissors but I would say that I would like the points to be slightly finer though I have been using them for the last couple of weeks and so far I am happy with them..I'm glad you liked the fly.. All the very best Davie

Hi Ian, I would put the hackle on first and then the wing though it does work either way as I have tyed them both ways over the years.. All the very best Davie..

Davie McPhail thank you very much looking forward to your next videos I have learnt a lot over the years watching them.

@Mark Turnbull Appreciate that Mark, many thanks

Hi John, I have attached two videos, one shows how I would hold a tube with a normal tapered needle that you can buy and the other I have used a home made one which was a nail then I filed down to a taper but instead of being round I made it square so that I have a flat surface which will hold many of these tubes though in the second video I put some cloth tape on the one I made so that I could show off the fly a bit better for filming..I hope this is of some help to you... All the very best Davie.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-B033JBmo8aA.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EK3nBjqko5M.html

@@DavieMcPhail Thank you Davie really appreciate your help, take care.

Hi Stuart, I have been using them for the last 3 weeks or so and they are a well made and sharp pair of scissors though I feel the points could be a bit finer but they are ok.. All the very best Davie

@@DavieMcPhail I almost bought a pair. I ended up buying a set of three pairs of Marc Petitjean scissors, the cost an arm and a leg, but they're amazing to use. Defo not to cut wire or tinsel with!!
