Tying the Organza Traffic Lights Diawl Bach by Davie McPhail 

Nice pattern and I just love to see tiers using non-flying tying materials. Repurposed materials is a obsession of mine so do like this a lot especially when the result, at least in your hands Davie, is so appealing. Thanks

Masterful, I love the old ones. I've learned so much. Thanks for sharing!

Great looking Diawl Bach Davie, and lovely tying as always.

My very first attempt at an organza pattern, went a little different. It was a long time before we were using this stuff in patterns. I bought a bunch of organza Ribbon one day actually I think I bought it because my tying box needed something shiny in it. So my friend Harris and I were looking for something to do with it, so I tried it out. I built a mayfly wing and tried it out. Nothing fancy, I cut a piece about 1 inch long, doubled it over and creased it. Then I cut a set of wings out of it. I fiddled with it and finally set up a pair of wings. Then I tried it on to make permanent pair of wings. To make them a bit more tough, I put a little head cement on the wing to make them last. The wings sat well, the strength of the wings was not great, but they held. We called it the miracle mayfly. We were never skunked with it. We got up on high ground at the lake. Just to see what happened to the pattern but it was a bit before we found the reason. So that stuff that Organza was wonderful. The light shining through caused caused great reflection on the surface and attracted anything that saw it. The fish always made a a dash for it and the fastest fish got the hook!

Once again, a spectacular fly

Really nicely tied! Thanks for sharing!

I just bought a smart TV and I can watch you on a 40" flat screen COOL. LOL

Hi Davie,Thanks for sharing this pattern!I like to overall effect that you get with the organza ribbon fibers - the body is more transparent and insect-like. I expect that a clump of the unused long fibers would make an excellent trailing shuck. I will have to try a few flies with it.I use an OFLA rotary blade knife and a straight-edge to cut plastic and foam strips for fly bodies, I found that the OFLA worked very well for cutting the organza ribbon to the taper that I wanted.Hank

como siempre tus moscas, rayan la perfeccion absoluta.Felicidades por esos montajes tan bonitossigue haciendolos

Einfach klasse, werde ich nachbinden, weiter so. Danke !

Lovely fly wish I was as good as you will need to keep practicing love the video

obrigado Davie Mcphail....

Thanks again for a crackin' fly. I really do like organza. I found a sale at a closing store and got swiss straw, and every color organza on large rolls for 1 dollar each. Even when I share this with other tyers. I will never run out. All the best to you and your family for a blessed Christmas. Sean

Brilliant

every good show

That's a belter of a nymph. I'd like to try it with a silver bead on the head and a size 16 hook and I bet it would catch Grayling.

Very nice.

Another great pattern! Thanks! I believe there no contraction against weighting this pattern a little bit to reach fish in deeper pools?

It's a lovely pattern. Could one substitute an emu feather for the organza?

Hi Dave,Great Video, Can you Five a recommandation where to buy the Organza ribbon?

I cannot find organza, and if I do it's always in super Brite and no black or brown colors

Hello Davie, Is there a width of organza ribbon you find more useful? Mike

question ,is that just a black ribbon that you trimmed to size for the body?

Hi davie is there any difference between pseudo and organza?

Davie, I don't understand why you needed two holographics?? A pearl and red. What is the purpose of these??
