Tying the Invicta Bumble with Davie McPhail.

[TryTooTie]

Hi Davie I just completed watching all 99 of your videos.WOW! I must say you are blessed with the gift of Tying and Teaching! Your Videos are a must see for anyone tying flies!Beginner or Seasoned tier. I hope you plan on many more videos!

Have you used the starling as a substitute for JC? Thoughts?

I see you added 3 more today.Great! I will be watching them straight away!

Thanks For sharing your talents with us!

Hi TryTooTie,

I'm glad you are enjoying the videos...I haven't used Starling in place of JC but I'm sure it would give an impression of eyes..

All the best Davie

You truly are an artist Davie. I usually find that the gold head Montana stone nymph with a marabou tail is a deadly pattern, any hints and tips on tying one of these beauties.

lovely variant dave i wouldnt dream of going on lough carra without one during the perch fly. id say kingsmills moore would but that boy up happy hunting this season

Hey Davie, absolutely loved the fly. Bumble's don't get much a run here in Australia, so how do you fish it?

[DavieMcPhail]

Hi dunamisjc,

This fly makes a great top dropper fished on a cast of three flies if you were loch style fishing but it could easily be fished as a dry fly but on a lighter hook..It's a great pattern worth having in your box.

All the best Davie

Good to see your invicta as this is competition fly for FDG this year. Not exactly same pattern but your methods are great.

Would be grateful I you would demo a damsel as this is big catcher at my local club. Thanks

Davie,

Before all of your prior uploaded videos got deleted (sometime last year as I recall) you had a Waterhen Bloa and, I think, some other North Country spiders. I liked your tying of them.  Would you please repost your Waterhen Bloa or other NC Spiders? Thank you. Bryan in Portland, Oregon, USA

if I looked up the dictionary I would probably find a word to describe this fly, and the tying, but I will just stick to this one "AWESOME".Once again Davie thank you. Cheers,  Donie, Cork City.

a great bumble tie davy, but a lot going on there, will put a bit of practice in with this one, going fishing western loughs in easter, will try it out then, many thanks, davy antrim, happy wrappings.

Realy realy nice fly Davie, but why do you smudge whole of the hook eye at the end of tying? Don't be angry on me, but Isn't it shame?

[DavieMcPhail]

Hi trestij,

No worry's I'm not angry, I did clean the eye which you don't see as I cut out this part to save time for youtube, as I was pushing my luck with the time allowed as you can see it's nearly 13 minutes...I was surprised they allowed it on..

All the best Davie

Brilliant fly davie i love the turn of hackle in front of the blue jay it really brings the colours together. I am going to lough sheelin at easter hopefully, i'll tie a few and let you know how i get on.....

Many thanks again......

[flyfishextreme]

really nice fly again, reminds me on a sedgehog! thanks for the vids and tight lines from austria!!

[shendadejemba]

nice fly davie,

when wud u use this?do u tie it on a B170 size 10?

tnx 4 all de great videos

[DavieMcPhail]

Hi shendadejemba,

The Invicta is a great pattern when Caddis are emerging but as well fished as a dry it will easily take fish, so tyed on both a B175 and a B170 will be worth doing...

All the best Davie
