Hi again. First to thank you for these amazing, informative and easy to follow videos. I was wondering if you have any dvd’s for sale (of your flytying lessons). I don’t have a good internet connection and most times the vids take ages to load up. Gets a bit frustrating: Anyhow all my best regards and once again thank you for all your posts. Torsten
davie i must admit your tying is incredible, ive been at for about ten years still its a pleasure to watch such a gifted tyer. you need to come to the states and school our unsophisticated trout on what proper flies look like. thanks for the great stuff

The box is a C&F-1504 it measures
5X4 inches..
I’m sorry I don’t have much room at home but if you can make it along to the Glasgow Angling on the first Sunday of each month I do a tying demo to raise money for charity…
Davie,
I cannot say how much i enjoy your fly tying videos. They are the best. I notice your fly box on your fishing video could you tell me what size it is please?
Do you give tying lessons?
Mike
Hi Davie, I have started tying and i used your video for a pheasant tail. I caught a cracking trout at Springwater on Monday and wanted to say thanks, it was wonderful to catch on a fly I had tied myself. I also think that this particular video works well because you are demonstarting some good technique, with excellent commentary, then going on to show how to tie the fly you used in the video. I am not sure how easy it would be to do it for other flies and tecniques but it would be worth it.
fly fished for over 20 years ,only now im trying to nypmh fish up stream ,tbh not got a clue i fish on good water too up at symington ,no luck just yet

Hi kingfisherjonny,
Adding an aiming point like a R.A will always help at times.One fly that I do like to fish in the evening especially in the rough water is a Red Tag..
All the best Davie
