Tying an Irish CDC MayFly with Davie McPhail.

[TheIblis]

You tie amazing flies in a really pedagogical way, that is truely inspiering! I will copy some of your patterns for this summer fishing for trophy trout here in sweden.

Hey Davie.

What is the name of the song you use in the intro?????

By the way awesome video! ;)

[DavieMcPhail]

Hi degnbol1608,

The intro was composed and played by my 19 year old son Sean and it has no name, if you type in geetarsean, you'll find his youtube channel, playing his guitar..

All the best Davie

[hobble11]

davie, is it a law vice that you use?

[DavieMcPhail]

Hi hobble11,

Yes it is a Law vise I use, I've had it for about ten years now and had no problems...

All the best Davie

brilliant again davie a great mayfly pattern, one ive tied which is similar (a variant) but a great fly to fish over here, on gods fishing island,oh yeah, happy wrappings, davey.

[niller2006]

Thank you for your exellent videos of flytying.

[1968drum]

hi davie, great fly, one question though, what is the purpose of the flexi floss you tied in, it doesn't seem to be visible.

peace, love, fish. daniel

[DavieMcPhail]

Hi Daniel,

I'ts to help hold the CDC fibres up plus using the orange will add a wee bit of colour but to be honest it wouldn't make a lot of difference to the fly if it wasn't there, it's my friend that wants it on the dressing as this was on the original fly that he was given...

All the best Davie

Davie good fly, Class A tying.

[McBeever2k9]

I find it hard to form a head on these sort of flies. Could I use a hackle guard to help? Paul

[DavieMcPhail]

Hi McBeever2k9 (Paul),

Yes use a hackle guard if you find it easier....

All the best Davie

[FrankB1191]

Always a joy to watch you tying, Davie.

Hi Davie!

Nice fly. This is dry or wet fly?

Thanks.

Szabolcs

[Flyfishinglove]

@kelsza it is a dryfly ;)

[DavieMcPhail]

Hi kelsza,

Like Flyfishinglove said it is a dry fly but allowing it to sink I'm sure it would take a fish too...

All the best Davie

[kelsza]

Thanks Davie.

I really like this fly. I try.

All the best.

[WEESTRAWZ]

Hi Davie,

Great looking pattern!

Where do you get the Dyed Mallard flank or did you dye it yourself?

I've had a look at the GAC but couldn't see any.

Thanks,

David

[DavieMcPhail]

Hi WEESTRAWZ,

I did buy the mallard flank from the Glasgow Angling Centre but like you said I too can't find it on their site but I know it's there just give them a call..

All the best Davie
