This is a really nice biggie pattern and it's interesting to compare different approaches by fly tyers. I watched Barry Ord and his use of hook was clever. Two expert tyers two really nice flies.
Another beautiful fly. I finally have enough materials to tie a fly without having to buy anything. I must be amassing some goods when this starts to happen. I hope you have a Wonderful New Year, All the best to you and yours. God bless. Sean
Hello Davie. Thank you for your many excellent videos. My health does not allow me to get out much any more but I want you to know how much I appreciate your excellent and educational videos. I am still able to tie a few flies but vision is not what it used to be. Thank you so much for your RU-vid videos. I would like to find a fly tying club in my area. Joe, Jackson,Michigan USA
Lovely fly and great way to apply the legs. Very time consuming to tie though at 15 minutes each. Even if you were not doing the video I bet they take at least 7-8 minutes to tie. Thanks for sharing.
Davie it's always a pleasure watching your videos. But who really want to fish with your flies? I would hesitate to put it at the end of my line for fear I might lose it.
Davie, cada vez tu me surpreende mais, pois esta produção é apaixonante, saber produzir algo que a natureza faz com a intenção de atrair o peixe, e ao mesmo tempo realizar a captura, não tem preço, faz com que todo trabalho valha a pena, parabéns!!!
Hi Fabio Rio Cardoso, Thank you very much for all your kind words about my videos and the flies I tye, I do really appreciate them all..Best wishes from Scotland.. Regards Davie...
Another great looking nymph. Thanks for showing this. Can you possibly do a really good brown trout minnow streamer pattern for rivers? Happy New Year!
I enjoy watching you make the flys and showing us your techniques but could you please turn up the volume or your end or speak louder, I have my volume set to 80 and can barely hear you, way more than what I usually use as a set point. thanks!
This is really cool, the body looks very realistic :) what kind of a superglue do you use? I have notice that the one I have looses the shine after you use a hair dryer or blow the air on it, must be the quality issue because after you have done it with yours, the head stayed shiny. Cheers and Happy New Year- Pete
Hi Pete, It's a really nice fly to tye and as you said it looks very realistic...I use Loctite Easy Brush Superglue which I've always found to be excellent but like any superglue it does have a shelf life so when you see it getting a little heavy then it's time to buy another bottle and you'll never have any problems... Happy New Year to you as well and all the very best for 2015... Davie...
Hi Davie. I looked at this video a couple of times already before I tied this nymph. Knowing this is a 7 years old video, what I'm interested in is, if you would have to tie this nymph now, what would you change? I ask because now there are so many many new materials available. Tight lines, Robbie "RobinRed"🇨🇿.
The more I look at this fly , I’m leaning at calling it a scud variation. Unfortunately all the good rivers that I fish are low and no fishing or recreation allowed.😟😟😔😕
Hiufuk yucel, I still have the Law which sits on my shelf as I prefer to use a vise that you can buy than one that you can't, as many ask me what vise do I use and when I say that it was no longer being made I felt I was letting them down by not using one on the market... All the very best Davie
What a great way to start the year. Great pattern. I'll be sure to tie some of those for my next fishing season. Do you think I can tie this another color like chartreuse or light gray?
Hi Dominique LeBlanc, It's a great fly to tye and it does fish really well too..It's also worth tying in many different colours and sizes. I've attached a link to a site that shows a great selection of colours and beautifully tied flies by the gentleman on the site... www.graylinghunter.uk7.net/ammonite.htm All the very best Davie
Hi Leonard, It could give an impression of any of these flies though I used it a few times when there was a good caddis hatch and the grayling love it any time.. All the very best Davie..
Hi*****, There is as you said a huge choice of hooks that you could use for these flies and the one I used in the video was made by Hanak, here is a link to the one that I used... All the very best Davie www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/171511588373?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=108&chn=ps&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0-L&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=108&ff19=0
Hi Vic, I've attached a link to the vise that I used in the video, it's a Regal with the stainless steel head...I'm glad you enjoy the videos and that they have helped you... www.regalvise.com/vises.html All the very best Davie
Hi jim49az, I have attached a link to the varnish I like to use on my flies, Veniards are a wholesale company so a shop that stocks their materials should be able to help you.. All the very best Davie... www.veniard.com/product897/section154/no1-cellire
