Tying the Adams Irresistible with Davie McPhail. 

Tied perfectly Davie. Love these on fast rolling west coast (US) streams because they are so buoyant . Not fun to tie but they work.

Wish I had the talent to tie that fly. Great as always.

We have a very similar fly here in South Africa that originated from the Adams, the DDD. Basically it has a much smaller collar and no wings. Optional is a strand or two flash (length of the body) at the back of the collar. Very good tie, the tip on protecting the tail is golden.

Only tied 6-7 total and you make it look sooo easy! Very nice work, and excellent instruction on the steps too! Subscribed

Great looking fly Davie, so well tied. Must try that sometime.

Great fly, I guess this is one I missed as well. I have seen the pattern tied before but you tie the neatest flies with the most consistent tying style I have seen thus far. I believe you are one in a million Davie, and I am glad to have seen you tie. I have learned very good tying habits watching you tie. I am very exacting myself and will start over before I accept a sub par fly. Thanks for that. All the best, Sean

Great looking fly Davie, a tidy job as usual. Really enjoyed that.

Very nice pattern thx for sharing 👍

Pure pleasure to watch, Good for Kiwi trout so will now tie a few. Thanks

this has got to be the best Adams I have ever seen tied thanks for doing it for us.

Brilliant! This is just what I was looking for. Thanks for the clear and concise demo.

Nice job-- Took the biggest fish of my life with this fly. Northern Maine USA like to fish this one.

Hi Davie Great looking fly . The tape trick is awsome will deffinitely have to remenber that one. I dont get to fish for that many trout well coldwater fish that much maybe one time a year. But will have to try it next time I go. Thanks for the great videos Chance

I used to think think this style of dressing is so effective in the USA and elsewhere because cicadas are present in these places. We don't have cicadas in the UK but I can assure Davie's UK viewers that they work here! I have had great success in recent seasons with them on Scottish lochs in small to medium sizes, and as Davie says they are practically unsinkable. What the trout take them for I don't know, but they do work extremely well at times. Many thanks Davie for the demonstration.

Spot on as always davie.Thanks again.

cheers davie, hope your havin a good new year. i do love a good dry pattern nice one davie, thanks again tight lines

Thanks for this video. I liked how you tied in the hackle points. I have always had trouble with this. Now that I see how it is done it shouldn't be a problem anymore. (with practice of course!)

wicked tie and great instructions, thanks

Davie- Thanks so much for posting this. I like this fly for faster water because it floats like a cork.

I like to use stright scissors for underneath and make a nice flat underside. I find it helps a little with balance.

Thanks for the pattern Davie. Will try to tie some for the wee burns around the Killie area - when they thaw. Also fancy hanging a nymph or buzzer off it. John (formerly Kildonnan until I moved provider)

I am inspired! thanks for all of your videos.

Really nice fly. And great tying. Thanks for uploading it :D

DUDE! you tied the adams irresistible like i asked you! thank you so much Dave:D All Best Alex Sweden

That a very good fly in northeast america Thank

great fly, they are popular in the U.S., but i think the Blue Wing Olive is slightly more popular; which i imitate with this pattern with olive deer hair, and dun hackle; works great, Thanks,

Great ties Davie! You got me hooked on fly tying. Question, for dry flies do you tie the shiny (convex) side of the hackle forward, towards the eye of the hook or vice versa? Thanks for the great videos, keep 'em coming.

Davie, There are not any video's that I have seen that are better than yours. Learned some great technique's from watching you! Thanks again... watching you tying the Adams Irresistible, wanted to know what size hook you were using? I tied it in a sixteen looked pretty good great pattern, thanks again Jimmy3822003

Davie, try tying with moosetail in smaller sizes for your olives. Great for rougher water.

Hi Davie, Great looking fly. I have been wondering. When people tie fry type patterns, how do they get the two tone effect on the deer hair body? Some i have seen are silver on the bottom and a darker silvery/gray on top with black dots running up the middle. Do they use permanent markers? Thanks, ~David

Hi Davie, I just got some tying tools and a vise and I'm looking for 10 patterns to start out with, five dries and five nymphs/wet flies. I live in idaho so we have lost of trico, pmd, drake, and midge hatches and I was just wonder what 10 flies should I start out with and what materials will I need. Best Wished, Carson

When I use masking tape over tail and remove pulls tail out.

dear davoe could you maybe tie different versions of march brown?? like march brown silver,gold or something like that?? please let me know. all the best from Norway :)

davie, im in australia and just starting out, do you reckon any designes you have on your channel would be good for the likes of cod or callop?(australian natives)

nice fly Davie, what do you use to cut your thread so fast?

Davie, what saddle hackles do you use and where do you get them from?
