Just got red herl from smg fishing at newhouse fishery today for these , davie if you passing well worth a trip in some selection my new favourite place for tying stuff
No problem Davie. I so look forward on a daily basis for you to put videos on youtube. How do you choose a left and right wing from a peacock herl full tail please? Would you do a video for me showing this especially the actual cutting of the wings, as this in so many of your flies are done below the camera.
Another great one Davie, Thanks again. The daiwl-bach is not a common pattern over here in the US, but I've been using it since you did the original last year. It is really a productive pattern for me and I especially like the expression on peoples faces when I tell them what I'm using. All the Best, Mark
Hi Davie, Thanks for all your excellent videos, learning from them has helped me improve my tying a lot since I started a few months ago. I think this is a nice variation on the diawl bach that I'd like to tie, but am finding it impossible to find the red peacock herl, I've tried ebay, and asking in my local tackle shop, and all the websites I buy materials from but no-one has it. Do you have any more information on where you got yours from, or what brand was on the packet? Cheers, Paul
Hi Bikerbranon1, I have attached a link to the wax I use, it comes from Veniards they are a wholesale company so any shop that stocks their materials will be able to help you... All the very best Davie... www.veniard.com/product4276/section9/
hi davie can you start doing some salmon flies for us since right now is the time evrebody is getting prepared for salmon fishing and more people are fishing for salmon. :)
Hi Geert Vanmol, I would say it does add movement to the fly but I remember fishing a diawl-bach to a point that I was left with very little material on the hook and it still kept catching fish, so it's up to you as I'm sure it will still work... All the very best Davie
Hi Dewi Jones, It should be on top but you are right it does look like a couple of fibres are on the side which I didn't notice thanks for saying so...ATB Davie
