Tying a 3 minute Rusty Rat with Davie McPhail

I tyed this Rusty Rat as quick as I could just for a bit of fun but I wouldn't say this is the best way to learn to tye flies, you must take your time and always keep your tying tidy...

Hello Davie, well done as usual. Warren and I spent many great days together tying together and talking about materials and fishing and a few snorts of good stuff. He was a great friend and missed by so many. Thanks for keeping his legacy alive Marc

Hi Marc,

I can honestly say that Warren was one of the best tyers and demonstrators I had ever met, a wonderful man and a great embassador to the fly tying world. I would have loved to have sat down and tyed with him as I know I would have had the time of my life...

All the best Davie

are you able to look at a completed pattern youve not tied before and replicate it?

[DavieMcPhail]

Hi mckiller45,

If I have the materials then most times I can, but if it's away from the normal style of fly then I will sit down and tye a few to get the just of it and most importantly the shape and style...

All the best Davie

Brilliant Davie, really enjoyed that one

[squintygnatbug]

did you say it was "tied by a guy in Duncan" as in duncan BC?

[squintygnatbug]

nice job Mr. McPhail, being from the west coast of Canada, I think this fly should work wonders on Steelhead. Thank you.
