  • Hi Davie,

    could you tie this on a double?

    Im hoping to fish it in the Spey next week.

    Thats a beautiful fly!

    Thanks,

    ~David

  • Hi WEESTRAWZ,

    You could easily tye this fly on a double and good luck on the Spey....

    All the best Davie

  • Simply amazing I've learned so much watching your vids amazing vids and clear instructions help alot. Two questions what kind of tubes are they and what type of floss do you use? I got some floss from GAC and they aint as bright as yours

    cheers

    Kendo

  • Hi Kendo,

    I'm glad you're enjoying the videos...The red floss I used is a Stout floss produced by Pearsalls but if you want a good bright floss from the G.A.C then the Uni-Floss range are very good, the Chinese red is one of my favourites. The copper tube that I used are Veniards, you should easily get them in the centre...

    All the best Davie

  • another great fly davie, I don't fish for salmon or tie tube flies could i tie and use small tube flies for trout if not i would probably tie them just for fun. your superglue brush is very fine which make of superglue do you use cheers dave

  • Hi Dave,

    I use Loctite Easy Brush and as you saw the brush is fine and the reason is that I cut ar least two thirds of it off as it makes it much easier to use for all the ways I need it...

    Glad you like the fly...

    All the best Davie

see all
