  • Hi Davie,

    I just started tying flies but I don't have a big enough budget to buy all the materials you are using. I was wondering if you'd be able to make a video on some materials that you thing are essential when starting with flytying, and maybe give some comment on different sort of dubbing or other materials. It would help me out a lot.

  • Hi TJthebombit,

    I would reckon the materials I used in the video I could buy for about £15 which would tye you a few flies..Could you give me an idea of the flies that you would like to tye and I could give you an idea of the best and cheapest way to buy them...ATB Davie

  • Also what wax do you use

  • Hi dkdriftking1993,

    Veniards Prepared Fly Tyers wax is the one I use....ATB Davie

  • Davie, I couldn't agree with you more. The Grey Duster is perhaps one of the most effective flies ever. I use them in different sizes with great effect. Personally I find the Grey Duster in sizes 16 and 14 to be best on the rivers and a size 12 is terrific arounf may Fly time on the Loughs.

  • Hi OutdoorLife011,

    I'm sorry but I would only be guessing as I have never tyed a fly for bream, I wish I could help...

    All the best Davie

  • @DavieMcPhail I love to fly fish for bream, and I was wandering. What is the best fly to use in your opinion? Thanks OutdoorLIfe011

  • Hi dkdriftking1993,

    Tiemco, Hanak and Partridge are the barbless hooks I'm using at the moment and I use them mostly from size 12s down to 24s which will cover most of the patterns I need but you may want to use bigger...ATB Davie

  • Hey i was just wondering what are some good hooks to get for dry flies like what size and brand and everything like that
