Tying a Squirrel MayFly Dun (DryFly/Emerger) by Davie McPhail 

Beautiful fly. I gave them to a fellow fisherman. He misunderstood something and put it on his hat.

Hi Davie, this video was a joy to watch. You explained each step and showed each material and all the variants. More importantly​ you explained the why and how of fishing the pattern. You're a brilliant teacher. If you were a chef on RU-vid you'd be rated 5 🌟 stars! All the others would be using this video as a step by step for their classes. This pattern would be great for the hex hatch this summer. Even the wing could be modified, maybe the tail also, for a spent hex the next morning (which I'm told can be just as if not more productive). Thanks Davie for a wonderful and inspiring tutorial! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 👍😁

Beautiful fly Davie, I like the squirrel tails and have a nice assmt in my tackle box all the time.

Beautiful and neat fly tying.

always blown away with your flies davie,amazng skills.

davie ur tying videos are amazing ive learned quite a bit from you thanks keep up the awesome work

Great looking fly Davie would work well on the Corrib

Dear Davie, I've just watched this and your Yellow May pattern. If you ever have time please could you do a video on how to dye various materials. I have never use dyes so it would be helpful to learn methods to dye herl, cdc, hair, which dyes to use etc. Many thanks Davie.

Hi Davie, yet again another brilliant pattern. Just for your info - my son Danny and I met you recently at Glasgow angling centre open day, you referred to him as the Tall Boy if you recall. Just a note to thank you for all the advice you have given us via you tube and to let you know that Danny won the Greys Junior Bank final at Ellerdine Lakes last weekend using variations of flies you taught us to tie and which he had tied himself. Thanks again - you continue to be a source of inspiration. Best wishes Ron Vine

Again, fantastic.

Great video, started tying my first flies with your videos over the last few days, any flies you'd recommend from your vodeosfor this time of year on an Irish lake ? Thanks

squirrel is a marwelles material for dry`s.. thnx.for sharing ur skills Dave!! (Y) (Y) (Y) (Y) (Y) of 5 thumbs!! ;)) im still waiting on when u tying the Black Doctor u should shown..! :)))

Hi Davie, thanks a lot for another fantastic pattern and your over and over inspiring fly tying. From time to time you recommend good scissors. Could you give an advice which ones you use and there I could get them?

I like this pattern, but find that many of the commercial fly boxes available will compress large bushy flies.IIs squirrel hair resistant to that?

Hay Davie its Colin Danenberger from America. The question for you is with the squirrel tail you use in the fly. Did you dye that your self? And also I recently got dye from Vineyard what dye would I use to get that color? Thanks Colin Danenberger

Davie,
