Like the idea of using the "waste " of the CDC. And the explanation of the usefulness of the "waste". As I fish both gentle and more robust flows (same river). I appreciate the subtle distinction you provided with this fly. Thanks

@Tjk186 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing this tying Davie...love the split-wing construction for fishing with confidence

Hi Davie, This is a cunning little pattern with some ingenious tips to float this classic dry fly, regards, Wayne

@3000waterman 3 года назад

Brilliant! Nothing less. And despite its simplicity a candidate for World's Best Trout Fly. My slight modification..... For anyone averse to using foam a 5th CDC feather can be used to tie forward, splitting the wings. If that 5th feather is installed as a bubble loop it holds a lot of air, increasing the buoyancy of the fly. I flatten the stem of that 5th feather on my tying desk to encourage it to roll into a loop without kinking.

Hi davie have watched your videos for a long time and never commented. I work in Middle East and have tied flies for many years, your work is fantastic and a great inspiration and has helped me improve over the years, so thank you and keep them comming

Señor Davie , mi mas sencilla enhorabuena por sus montajes y explicaciones .No entiendo su idioma pero solo con los signos y la entonación de sus palabras ya ayuda bastante. Somos unos afortunados los que disfrutamos de sus montajes. Un saludo cordial

It is a pleasure to watch you doing masterworks in every single video. These videos are more than useful to get inspiration for upcoming summer fishing trips. Cheers from Finland.

I tied up three of these as an emergency measure on holiday a couple of weeks ago. I had no foam with me so just used a small bunch of pheasant tail fibres instead, which seem to work fine. I then tried them on a small stretch of the Afon Banwy (tributary of the Vyrnwy) after thirty minutes of nothing with other (usually successful) patterns. I promptly had eight takes in as many minutes from the local grayling and at least one missed trout. Absolute beauty of a fly.

Well Done phryar and thank you for the feedback of how this fly fished for you as it's always great to hear others' experiences... Well Done.. All the very best Davie

@nicolasruth8380 11 лет назад

Hi Davie, First, I wish you a very happy new year, full of fish and flies as beautiful as you tie them. When tying same flies, I use floss in place of the foam. I like the idea, this will help to keep the fly in the film! very clever tip Thank you very much for all these videos Best regards Nic

@glennpayne704 3 года назад

The CDC dries are great. How do you maintain the CDC wing when a fish slimes it? They seem very difficult to get the fly to float again...

@DJackson1882 11 лет назад

Davie, I enjoy watching your video's. They are very well done and I always learn something new while watching. Would you have any suggestions for substitutes for the tail feathers? Cheers and please keep tying!!

Davie please could you upload a video on how to tie the suspender hopper.they are an excellent fly and I'm sure a lot of people would enjoy them.

@pinchy111 11 лет назад

Davie i'd like to say thanks for all the great fly patterns you have showed and continue to show us . in one of your videos i notice that you used a bobbin with a small silicone tube to hold back you hackle while you finish your fly. I just wanted to suggest something i use which is a drinking straw they vary in size and are basically free once im tied off i just cut the straw off and done . thanks for the great demos

@philipnaro3040 Год назад

@@DavieMcPhail Hi Davie - yes, that’s the pattern I was looking for! Thank you very much. One more question, do you like this pattern and wing style over the pattern where you split the wings with a small strip of foam? Very similar, but wondering which is more effective. Thanks once again!

@DavieMcPhail Год назад

Hi Philip, I do prefer bringing the CDC feathers between the wing as it lasts far longer though I have caught a few fish on the one with the foam so they are worth having some in your box.. All the very best Davie

@LeLilley1 8 лет назад

Davie . . . I love your videos! I'm learning so much from these! Thank you for doing these! A question for you . . . How do you handle your wax? You seem to keep it in your hand all the time and is very convenient for your use. I have a tube of wax and the wax just seems too sticky. Not a good solution. So help!!! Thanks again!!!

@DavieMcPhail 8 лет назад

Hi Frank Lilley, I use Prepared Fly Tyers Wax from a wholesale company called Veriards...I hold it under the warm water tap until it's soft enough to pull off a small piece the size and thickness of a small button and as you see in the video I stick it to the side of my finger. The way I do this is to work the small piece between my fingers until it become tacky enough for it to stick to the side of my finger..Here is Veniards stockists list for you to find a shop to buy their wax... www.veniard.com/stockists.asp All the very best Davie

@brianmozer3112 6 лет назад

Hi Davie. Thank you for the excellent tying videos, I have learned so much from them. Masterful technique and beautiful flies. A question about materials, specifically CDC. Can you suggest a source of high quality? I have bought some in the US and found they are quite variable in size. I would prefer longer feathers as very small ones can be difficult to use except on very small hook sizes. Thanks, Brian

@DavieMcPhail 6 лет назад

Hi Brian, I'm glad you are enjoying the videos and thank you very much for the kind words...I bought the CDC feathers from a gentleman in Republic of Ireland his name is Pat Nolan of Premier Angling Supplies...I have attached a link to his facebook page for you to see...facebook.com/Premier-Angling-1575731602677411/ All the very best Davie

@laulbad 11 лет назад

HI Davie! As usual, excellent pattern that I will use very soon, once the snow will be away from our Austrian mountains ;-) : about the foam. can you use a lighter coulour such as skin colour or even white in order to better see the fly on "rough waters? Thanks and "Petri"!

@Landvogt 11 лет назад

Hi Davie, another awesome pattern. Do you use 4 CDC feathers for a size 18 too, or would 2 be enough? And i guess this fly would work in any colour combination.... thank you and tight lines Markus

@rminost 11 лет назад

This is a beautiful pattern, natural looking and will work (float and not twist in casting) well, but I find it is difficult (for us amateurs) to tie. Do you rate for difficulty Davie? I see AJ Mcintyre is having problems too!

@adriann344 11 лет назад

Hi Davie I love your videos, I've only been tying a year or so and learn alot from your videos, cheers. Where do you buy your CDC??

@haakonjohansen 11 лет назад

Lovely pattern, and great video as always. Comparing this to the Red & Grey hackled dun, these patterns must work quite the same way? Are there any big differences in the way they act/float? Which one do you prefer (for fishing)? Cheers, Håkon

@evilmothericebearkillerbir6016 10 месяцев назад

iwill addmit i am stingy at the cost of cdc s its just smart to save so you get 2 out of 1

C'est original d'utiliser le cdc pour le corps,la flottaison doit être différente dans la pellicule.Merci pour les conseils et pour tes vidéos.

@ThatIntoThis 3 года назад

Davie, Would you mind explaining the purpose of waxing the thread in this pattern?

@DavieMcPhail 3 года назад

Hi ThatIntoThis, Waxing your thread will help give you more grip as well as make your thread stronger, it also helps you reduce the number of turns making a better and neater fly..I especially like to use the wax when tying on hackles and wings... All the very best Davie

@jasonpereira7141 8 лет назад

Davie cracking fly, do you think Trout reject fly's quicker when you use the CDC offcuts with the thicker stem feeling unnatural?

@DavieMcPhail 8 лет назад

Hi Jason Pereira, To be honest I've never had any issues using the CDC offcuts but if you feel that the fish you are targeting are a bit shy then use the normal flies tyed with the finer tips of the Cdc...I'm glad you liked the fly and I'm sure if tye some you'll not go wrong...

tying these with cdc puffs its frickin hard where do i get the cdc you use for this fly

Hi Davie, I have gotten much better with thread control with 8/0 thread but I have a problem breaking it when I whip finish. I have learned to tie a half hitch before I whip finish because of this. I know I am doing something wrong because the top hook of the whip finishing tool always ends up really close to my hook. Yours never does. Any suggestions. I have only been tying about a month and I tied on a 14 size hook last night I did watch repair though so I am not surprised i'm better with tiny
