You sir are a master fly tyer. After several years of watching, you I always come back and watch you tie this one and Sawyers Killer Bug.
Thank you for all of your inspirational videos.

Hi Davie, many thanks for this demonstration, much appreciated. I have been tying this type of fly for the past 50 years and your demonstration showed me such a simple way of doing it and saving time by not using any thread. The one problem I do come across is the poor quality of feathers down here in the South Pacific. The best ones I have is what the birds left me on the farm! We also tie this fly with a tungsten bead to get the fly deep pools. I know from personal experience that I could use just two types of nymph imitations to fish all the year around in both of our Islands, the Pheasant Tail and Hare and Copper. Cheers mate. Harera

Thanks Davie,
really enjoy watching you tie all the Sawyer patterns with the copper wire. Have enjoyed the time spent tying my own.

[kerrypitt]

These are my favorite PTN hands down! Perfect for shore casting even on Stillwater. That bit of copper makes a lot of difference!! I love it!!

[FlyTyer]

Thank to you & to Mr. Sawyer for this. It’s elegant in design, use of material & effectiveness.

[AllanMHutton]

It's amazing how the the simplest of patterns are also the most effective.
Excellent vid! 👍
