hi davie, lovely spinner variant.

thats some good quality grizzly you got where would i get a saddle?

iv got a couple of metz cree saddles would they do? could you get away with using bigger than usual hackle like a

14 for 16 and so on?

love the tying on this, the tail lift and hackle lift, great tying davie i might incorporate them methods on some

wet flys! tight lines

Hi brandollarz,

I bought my cape many years ago from a company that has stopped trading. If I was to look for a new cape then I would  prefer saddles more than necks, so a bronze grade Whiting will normally tye small and a Metz Micro-Barb will do as well but if you can look at the cape before you buy then do this..

If you have Cree that tyes 14s and 16s then use this as I said it works really well too..

All the best Davie

Hi Davie

Great looking fly.

What do you use to remove the herl from the stem? I have problems doing that.

Hi Chance,

I used to always use an eraser (rubber) to remove the herl from the quill but I now use a toy rubber disc that came free in a box of cornflakes it has much more grip and doesn't wear like an eraser..

All the best Davie

hi davie, I was wondering if you do a dvd or something, its for my father-in-law. We have both just started to tie flys as of christmas 2009, and he does not have the internet, and i dont know if it is possible to download them.

Hi Davie,

Great fly as always, this one inspired me to tie up a similar dressing one a size 22. A few went into the trash bin before I got it looking half way presentable. Much thanks, and happy holidays.

Hi Davie

I started fishing with my grandfather aged 4. I have loved it all my life (38) and I have just started tying. Your videos are inspirational, they set the bench mark as far as any other videos I can find. Thank you and please keep uploading they have helped so much.
