Heavy incessant rain Davie so can't get out salmon fishing so watched your great video. Lovely fly - you are an absolute artist. I'll be fishing this on a slow hover when it warms up a bit. Best Phil

Thanks Davie, this is a fantastic stillwater pattern and I have caught lots big fish with it. Cheers!

I enjoy watching your precision when you tie. You don't rush any steps and everything is uniform and proportioned well. Nicely done and thanks for the pattern.

The marabou, a great feather. There is so many different colors. And please continue your great flys because really.... 🙌

Woolly Bugger types are considered flies for the big trouts, here in Norway. Thanks for sharing Davie.

These are great looking damsels, the rainbows love them. i'v had fish come short on a few long tailed marabou flies but rarely on these in fact they are usually half way down the fishes throat, great tying as always. Thanks again, All the best.

Hi Davie,

I recently made up a black woolie bugger using elements of this fly to fish for Tilapia here in Queensland Australia. They're a noxious species here bit great sport on fly gear. I had immediate success on the fly with the flash element included! Cheers so much for the inspiration!

Regards

Colin

Great Tie, as a matter of interest I notice that you wax the thread, what is the advantage of waxing threads, especially if they are already waxed when purchased.

[jakepavlo]

Has anyone tried one of these in the river with any success?

[ryantherock]

Hi Davie surely damsels have much shorter tails?
