Hi Davie

As always, the wonderful work you do. I miss your buzzer? I would like to see the Buzzer Quilled Voltage Lite-Brite buzzer. Could you show this once buzzer? And I sure other people would be very pleased once again to see such a buzzer.

With best regards from Switzerland Stefan

Hi David, I got a fly rod set up at christmas.

Is there anywhere in Glasgow i can go fly fishing during jan/feb/mar?

I am a complete novice at the fly game so wouldn't want to travel far and pay fortunes at this stage. Also what length of backing, fly line and leader/tippet do you recommend? (I have a floating line WF) I need somewhere to get my cast going!!! (Any excuse to get on the water, lol.)

Your help and advice would be grately appreciated.

Hi target32123,

The only places that I know which are worth fishing at this time of year where you would get a cast are the trout fisheries and are mostly outside Glasgow so you would have to travel to them.I would put on at least 30 to 50 yards of backing on the reel and a cast length about a foot less that the full length of the rod.It may be worth while asking at your nearest tackle shop to find our where you can fish as they should be able to help you more than me.

Good stuff again Davie keep the vidos coming!

[paleozon]

Simple and elegant yet effective, I am sure! Thanks, Davie.

Always great work from you. I always look forward to the next video. I seem to learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. My tying ability has increased exponentially since I started watching your videos.

Hi Davie,

That is another nice looking fly, I really like using black pheasant tail as a body, very natural looking. I find the breathers do sometimes makes a big difference.
