Tying the(Bug-Bond) Quilled Buzzer with Davie McPhail.

[hedleyjphillips]

Wow, that is as close to fly porn as you can get. Stunning.

Hi Dave, thank you for another fantastic pattern from your vice. I have tried it and our Norwegian mountain trout seems to find it very interesting. I have only one problem, the Bug bond coating are loosening after caching a few trout. Do you have any idea how to avoid that to happen? Will the Bug bond be stronger and harder the longer it will be exposure by the UV-light?

Best regards Jens

[DavieMcPhail]

Hi Jens,

I'm looking at buying a stronger uv lamp to see if it will cure the resin as the torch batteries don't last very long and I would really like it to be a real success as it does such a great job, I will be putting it on youtube if I find it better. I have been applying the bug-bond very lightly and building up the coats which seems to be fine.

All the best Davie

@DavieMcPhail

Hi Dave,

Just curious if you have came across a better UV light source. Also what wavelength of UV does the bugbond light emit? I've seen some actual lamps that you can plug in, but are super expensive and want to know if they would work for setting the resin before possibly purchasing.

Cheers,

Jeff

Hi Jeff(fujoman999),

I would say the best torches I've used is the Ultra Fire WF-501B and the Bug-Bond Pro Torch which has a number EBS2011CE andBB/EDW5061..I wouldn't know about the lamps as I have only ever used the torches that these companys supply..There is a UV laser light which works really well...

I hope this is of some help to you...

All the best Davie

Sorry for the long delay......I'm using sharpie pens.....but since my 1st post....I have been tying a lot of buzzers and it only seems to the "red" colour pen that I'm having chemical reaction problem with.....

[fishermansfreind999]

Hi Dave...fab buzzer..and once again you pioneer the way in fly tying. I went out and got all the kit. Started to make them and theres a problem on some of the buzzers (not all) after I have done the final cure...when I apply a coat of varnish (Sally hansen hard as nails) there seems to be a Chemical reaction and the buzzer turns an rusty-orange colour all over........any advice ???

[DavieMcPhail]

Hi fishermansfreind999,

The chance is that the pen that you have used has caused this problem as I have had something similar happen what one did you use?

All the best Davie

Hi Davie, I was looking for the Partridge and Orange. I'm sure you did a video on it but now cannot find it. Any chance of you reposting it? It's a great fly.

[DavieMcPhail]

Hi navydonald,

Next time I'm tying some I'll do this for you keep me in mind....

All the best Davie 

[petewon]

Hi Davie, just wondering what type of stripped quill peacock you use?

Cheers.

Pete.

[DavieMcPhail]

Hi petewon,

They are large peacock eyes, I just look through the bunch to find a well marked one.....

All the best Davie

[yourmotherFer]

A true master you are Davie. That is a killer buzzer, pattern. I will be tying these up straight away, and trying them out. Love the bug bond sharpie technique. Did you see in one of your other videos, i told a fellow how to strip peacock hurls extremely fast and easy?, Can do 5 eyes worth in 10 seconds.

[fishingforeverything]

Hey Davie where and when would you use this. I wish a merry Christmas to you ( I am getting a new fly tying kit for Christmas) :).

[DavieMcPhail]

Hi fishingforeverything,

Buzzer/midge patterns are fished all through the season on the lochs and lakes here in the U.K you would be very silly not to have some with you when fishing...

You too have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year when it comes...

All the best Davie

[grayduster100]

great buzzer, looking forward to trying the bug bond

[lukeyfc]

where do you get the ice blue pearl

merry christmas and happy new year

[DavieMcPhail]

Hi lukeyfc,

The Ice Blue Pearl came from Veniards so if you know any tackle shop that has their products then they should be able to buy it in for you, it comes in three sizes small, medium and large I use the medium and the large mostly...

A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too when it comes....

All the best Davie
