Hi Davie.

Have you experienced Chub Fishing? I´d be curious to ask you to tie some Chup flies to det ideas for myself also and to see traditions from other countries too. Strong big fishes, just got my biggest last summer 1.65kg 52cm :) it was a Blast. Beautiful fishes.

Cheers.

Hi 21380,

I'm sorry to say I have never fished for Chub but I have tyed one or two flies for a friend that does from time to time and the flies he wanted were weighted nymphs and dries. The dries were beetles and ant patterns and the numphs were hare's lugs and pheasant tails.. Well done on catching your best Chub ever...

All the best Davie

hi davie

i was wondering what kind of whip finishing tool you have because my one is cheap and wont work. i have had all the fly tyers i know to have a go using it but there stumped too.

so im going to invest in a new one because the hand whip finish is not the best in my view

thanks will

Hi Will (willeh1239),

The whip finishing tool I use is a Materelli which I have used since 1990 and still as good as new...ATB Davie

Hi Davie,

I have a kingfisher blue saddle from donegal angling center. Would that be just as good for the hackle??

Many Thanks

All the best Davie

Hi Davie.

I've been looking all over after that flour fiber you use for the tail here... Do you perhaps have a link to where I can get some of that..?

Tried some other stuff that looks similar, but I feel it is too "stiff" for this fly..

Kay.

@DavieMcPhail Thank you so much! Beetle is the one i think tying for next season. It seems you can throw any big black lump in river and there´s big possibilities on catching aroun 1kilo fish.

I´ll rty beetles and big nyphs :) Leeches are not an option, they are not flies :D

Hi Davie

I was just wondering where you buy most of your supplies from? particularly your hackles and hooks, the local fishing shops around here have a terrible selection.

Cheers
