Tying a Synthetic Quilled Nymph by Davie McPhail 

Hi Davie tyed this fly and fished it on the Welsh dee today had 20 nice grayling with it .fantastic pattern its a real fish taker. Thanks Mike.

Hi Everyone, I'm glad you all enjoyed the video and thanks for all the kind words.. The synthetic quills look great and I'm sure they will work well on many patterns... All the very best Davie

Davie; Its so nice watching THE master at work .Every fly [no matter how complicated looks like a piece of cake]Thanks for the methods ,Beautiful as always.

Спасибо вам за ваш тру!!!! Успехов вам и здоровья. Учусь у вас каждый день!

Another belter davie.

Pure class Davie. Beautiful pattern.

Another master piece! Beautiful work.

A beautiful pattern, and a great one for people new to fly fishing (not necessarily to tie, but to use) because I've noticed that apart from working great on grayling, this type of fly is an absolute magnet to small and medium sized perch. Great for kids and beginners.

Excellent video, keep them coming please.

You have done so much to improve the skills of so many tyers around the world;When you see the work of the" Master" it gives every one a picture of what they might possibly attain one day,and they/we learn so much in the striving to equal the quality of your work.Please keep the instructions coming.Earl

Hello Davie, another great looking fly, i take it you can get a couple of bodies from each quill? all the best for Xmas and New year.

👍💪

Hello Davie. I finally got around to watching this video. I have one question and a couple of comments. Have you considered coloring the back of the abdomen prior to applying the resin? I would think it would be more color fast as I have found that most permanent markers overtime will "wear" off where applied. My comments are these: this is the first time watching any tying video that I have seen copper wire used to shape the underbody. I thought I was the only one who used this technique. Finally, your thread wrapping technique is wonderful. I have spoken with many tyers who produce videos and directed them to watch you videos regarding this particular aspect. So many time, sloppy thread wrapping is seen in videos and your constant use of touching turn virtually throughout the entire fly makes it look great. Don't forget, when you have the time, a video on you scissor grip, as we previously discussed would be great. Thanks again as always. MP

Very nice fly. Do you prefer bugbond over Deer creek diamond hard in terms of viscosity?

Another great pattern Davie but who makes the quills?

👍🏻

How do you decide which flies are dubbed using a dubbing loop and which are dubbed with dubbing just twisted onto the tying thread?

any tips on keeping superglue longer..1 month then having to throw half a bottle away..i use loctite..??

Any thoughts where I could get that synthetic quill body here in the USA?
