Davie, I could hand you a squashed hook, a length of shoelace and a piece of cloth and you’d create a masterpiece! Love your videos.

I caught 2 of my personal best stillwater rainbow trout, both over 9lbs here in BC on a very similar pattern in size 14. Excellent tutorial and fly pattern Davie thanks for sharing.

When enjoying your videos I don't hesitate to go back and re-watch parts that I didn't pay close enough attention to initially... Thanks Davie

Two More Fish Catchers Davie! Perfect! I tied up a bunch of Beadhead size 16 Scud Hook Hare Ear/Mask with Fine Silver Wire. Very similar to this style. It is proving to be my #1 Producer this season.

This is the reason my desk is a mess. I can't throw anything away. Great explanation on how to fish a spider. I always tell people if you can fish a dry you can fish a spider. Are you doing ok? None of my business but you seem a little winded. Take care of yourself. Covid is nothing to mess with. ATB

[robertarena]

[peterlaidler]

Hi Davie, could I ask which brand of tungsten bead you prefer to use?
