With 40 years in fly fishing and fly tying, I have been most fortunate in being able to ‘learn on the job’ and develop many good and productive fishing flies.The videos which I record at home are edited by me and I very much hope you enjoy them. If you do, then I would encourage you to subscribe and you will be kept up to date as and when each new video is posted. Needless to say, all this takes time and quite a bit of high tech equipment to produce to the high standards which I aim to achieve which leads me nicely onto introducing my first official sponsor, Fulling Mill Ltd. Fulling Mill are based in the UK and are one of the leading names when it comes to producing world class fishing flies on a commercial scale. With access to their excellent range of tying materials as well as their much appreciated sponsorship, I look forward to doing more of what I do best and to continuing my work in fly tying and as well Fly Fishing on my local waters.

I did enjoy the video, Davie. But I liked the fishing better... =] Mike
another great fly davie😎 I was wondering if you have an emerger pattern for the great red sedge/murrough? i know you have a tyjng for dma dry fly, which i have done extremely well on 🎣
Where do buy your flies.? Seriously tho amazing angling m8
Beautiful tie
Thanks Davie! 👍🏻
Another great video Davie. Thank you! I thought you used fulling mill leaders which are copolymer I believe? You mention fluorocarbon leaders in this video. What make of these do you use?
Hello Davie, can you do a video on materials that are all natural for flytying. Without synthetics. but which one's to use to mimic this visual aspect.
Great show Corey thanks heaps💯🔥🎣
The picky West Branch Delaware fish love this fly! I use a sparse polypropylene shuck and superfine dubbing for body, so it is a sort of combination between a sparkle dun and the usual. The Sparkle Usual!
SO it may be a big ask but i think the "transcript " gets your accent guess may be not 100% accurate - would you mine listing these buy the row the names - i have a 1938copy of Bergman's Trout - and I like to duplicate these "traditional" patterns that flight of your "small" sampling need sot be in one of my boxes,,, :). but i can not really hear the names.. thanks in advance
50:46 hi Davie what a good day you had some beautiful trout
Way to go
Loving it
That was a beautiful trout near the end.
Thanks for another great video, lovely fish. Miss living in Ayrshire and fishing the Doon, Ayr, Stichar and Girvan. Will be up a wee bit later in the season to have a go for some salmon and sea trout
Always a pleasure to follow along the river with you Mr McPhail. A couple of hundred casts in and "hey first cast" tis the utterance of a true angler indeed.
Nice flies👍🏻
Once again great vid Davie . I'm surprised you don't catch more Par . Or maybe, they get edited out. And over the years I've fished. It never ceases to amaze me, the amount of work that's been done on rivers, to stabilise the banks. Or even change the course in some case . Nowadays the use gabions, but not originally . Where I am now, the estate owners completely altered the course in the 1800s . With everything , including the bed of the small spate River and feeder burns and new weirs , with even the beds of which, being lined in a lot of places with quarried and worked stone. It was taken over by the FC and now the FLS both of whom, have let in fall into disrepair. And leased the fishing to Dunoon Angling club. But it's a hard river to fish now.Because of neglect. There used to be great migratory runs . But like most west coast rivers, now severely depleted.
Must be very nice to be able to have such a beautiful water for yourself even on a Sunday.
🎣🐟👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Davie, what a great fish there. What kind of salmon is that you’re fishing for?
Hi @1MattFugazzi, It's an Atlantic Salmon and it was a lovely fish fish to catch especially at this time of year on the River Doon.. All the very best Davie
River Doon is beautiful. So are the brownies.
Hi Davie, when your fishing a dry fly, and a nymph of the dropper , how long should the dropper be, it take it you don’t want it to be to long.
Hi @rosscoplaybass490, I like it to be around 3 foot from the dry though I will change it to suit the water I am fishing in though you can vary the depth by using weighted or unweighted flies as I did in the video... All the very best Davie
Thx Davie, just the ticket here in Tassie. I tie something similar with possum. I like using the post as part of the body. Some nice fibres you have too, a bit costly getting those hackle and tail materials, but thx for showing us the way to tie a parachute, something I always struggle to get tidy, nicely done
Any chance I can pick up a few colour variations to copy. I have looked on the FM website but can’t seem to find them. Size 14 would be great. Hope you can post to Australia
Thank you for sharing your day, Davie; your lovely, and lively, River Doon is feeling quite familiar... Roger
Lovely days fishing a joy to watch thank you as always Olwen x
I don’t know a lot about fly fishing but I’d love to learn,great video Davie 👍
now thats a good days fishing, thank you for sharing
The end of this fishing day was great to see and well worth watching until the end.👍✨
another great video davie,some nice fishing ,and fish,thanks again atb 🎣🎣
Would you like to fish at Friars Carse on The Nith on either July 23rd or 24th. We will be a group of mainly game angling instructors and most of us tie as well. We can show you an unusual fly that has caught 100s of Trout and Grayling on The Nith . I myself caught a least 100 grayling last year in 4 days and couple of extra hours fishing 2 weeks later. If you would like to come I will leave word with Friars that you can come as my guest . Just give them a call later this week and they will give you my details
Hi Paul, It's very kind of you to ask me along and to be honest I would have been there like a shot but unfortunately I can't make it.I know I would have had a great day with you all and as well seeing the special fly that you have come up with...I hope you and all your friends have a great couple of days.. All the very best Davie..
Nice. When you can't get out yourself, perfect!
😊 tks for a great video davie water was beautiful today toght lines
Beautiful river!
👏👏👏👍👍👍
😊🙂 thanks for the ride-along Davie!
Well done again! Another enjoyable video Sir!
A great video Davie. Some lovely fish, thanks for sharing your day out and the links to the patterns
Do you put floatant on your dry flies when fishing dry dropper???
I've never seen so many legs on a caddisfly! 😮 👍🏻
Great videos as always Davie and I've not seen the technique of making wings from the same feather as normally they're from feathers of opposing wings. So applause for that. I've a question please. The wing height is normally the shank length. What would be the best width? I know the fish won't mind, but from a visual tying perspective, would it be half the gape for example or is there some other guide? Thanks. Jim
Davy,Why do you wax your thread when you cann get threads nowadays that are pre waxed . Is it just that your used to it or do you not use waxed threads.
