Another great pattern Davie.

I was wondering if you would ever do a few video's showing you fishing some of the flies you tie.

Just a thought.

Hi Davie

I would have to say that is a great looking fly and the colors are great .. Will have to tie a few up and see how the panfish are here like them.

What would you sub for the blue jay feathers?? It is hard here to find them.

Thanks For the Great Vids

Brilliant tying! Watched with amazement as one material after another was added! All those materials in the last 2 mm without the thread falling off the eye! I've seen you do it before with other patterns, but this ............!!!!!!!

new world record-----> most materials on a fly!! (-; great as always!!

[TotallyFlyTying]

Masterpiece!

I've Just uploaded my first Fly Tying video on my new Fly tying channel!

I always look forward to your videos. You've helped me so much with both methods of tying and what materials to use for certain situations...

Thank you so much!!!
