  • Hi Davie,

    Love your videos. In this emerger, would using the other side of the turkey biot feather be acceptable?

    Thanks

  • Hi byhaugh1,

    It's definitely worth using the other side of the Turkey biot instead of the way I did in the video as you know it makes for a beautiful body..

    All the best Davie

  • Hi Dave,

    I really like all of your fly tying videos. But I have a question about the hooks you use. I notice you use a larger gap hook. On the smaller hooks it looks like the shank is maybe a 18 but the gap is a 16 or 14. Where do you get these hooks. I'm in the US.

    Keep up the great work

  • Hi Fallriverbum,

    The hook I'm using is a Kamazan B160 which is a short shank wide gape, it's a very good allround hook for both dries and wets..

    Glad that you enjoy the videos..

    All the best Davie

  • Hi flyfishJJA,

    I find it hard to understand myself sometimes..I'm glad you like this small emeger it's a great pattern and has caught me a few fish that were stubborn to take anything else..

    All the best Davie

  • @DavieMcPhail I'm sorry so many of my American countrymen have a hard time understanding you. I have them at a disadvantage, as I can hear you clear as a bell. Must be the Scottish blood in me.

    Also, I adore this fly immensely.

  • Hello Davie.

    Awesome tie, works great. I was wondering if you could tie some spinner patterns, I very much enjoy your tying and instructions. Its made my own tying much better. I cant thank you enough

    Tight Lines

  • Hi Nerma82,

    The material I used on the body was dyed Turkey Biot, I bought mine here in Scotland but I'm sure you will find them on the net. The ones I use are by Wapsi and Orvis but there's a few other companies who have them.

    All the best Davie
