Small Bullet Head Caddis Fly

I’m going to be putting a few more of Davie McPhail’s excellent Fly-Tying tutorial videos onto this site over the coming days and weeks as there’s lots of excellent patterns, tied really well, and in a way to which I really couldn’t wish to add anything.

So I won’t!

Simply watch the video below to see Davie tie the Small Bullet Head Caddis fly – and get your fly box ready for the season ahead. If you have any questions about material or anything, feel free to ask below – or ask the man himself by clicking the video and visiting his YouTube.

This is a dry fly pattern which is often successful on small stillwaters, and Scottish lochs, to take fish from the surface.

The Adams Irresistable (Tied by Davie McPhail)

This is the first, I hope, of many videos we will feature from Davie McPhail: this Scotsman produces really excellent fly-tying videos on YouTube and we are going to be featuring many of them over the coming weeks and months as we look to replenish our stocks of flies before March.

In this video, Davie ties the “Adams Irresistable” which is a slight variation on the classic Adams dry fly that no self-respecting flyfisher would leave home without at least one of in his box.
