Feb 8, 2011 - how much is it to fish the river would like to try it this year as i live not to far away in paisley

DavieMcPhail Says:

Feb 8, 2011 - Hi MrBoab01,The stretch of water that I'm fishing is Annbank Angling Club and as far as I believe you can get a day ticket but I'm not sure how much it is, the last time I heard it was £10 but that was a few years ago and it may be a bit higher now. I'm due to buy my season ticket so I'll ask when I'm there, give me an email this time next week and I should know by then...All the best Davie

MrBoab01 Says:

Feb 19, 2011 - Hi Dave did you find out how much a day ticket costs for this stretch of river

DavieMcPhail Says:

Feb 20, 2011 - Hi MrBoab01,The meeting was last week and I haven't had time to go for my ticket yet, so it will be Friday before I get a chance to go for it and I should know then...All the best Davie

Sep 13, 2011 - Hi Davie, I'm trying to learn the art of fly dressing and your videos really help, what vice do you use? I like how the jaws come to quite a fine point.Thank you so much for your time, please keep producing videos for us beginners...

DavieMcPhail Says:

Sep 13, 2011 - Hi fishermen4life1,I find it very hard to put a collection together for myself but I'll hope to sometime, at the moment I'm filling a box for display maybe I'll show this one off...All the best Davie

Jan 9, 2012 - Would biot wrapping the body give the same effect as when using the plastic ribbing?

DavieMcPhail Says:

Jan 10, 2012 - Hi flynerd123987,I would be happy to use turkey biot for a rib as I have done this myself but I don't cut away the waste piece of thread as I rib this on top of the biot to protect it....All the best Davie

Feb 23, 2012 - Incidentally, the small Caddis nymph you tied there works really well on western Canadian rivers as well. Great video by the way.

DavieMcPhail Says:

Feb 23, 2012 - Thankyou hattrickster33,All the best Davie

zoeycat77 Says:

Mar 2, 2012 - I started fly fishing about a year and a half before you started making these videos. I've learned more from you than any of the fly tyers I've sat down and had lessons. Many thanks for helping me on my way to enjoying my time on the water and creating flies that have caught more fish than I could have thought possible. If you ever plan a trip to the states, specifically Western Pennsylvania, you would have a guide to take you to some of the most pristine limestone waters we can offer. ATB.

DavieMcPhail Says:

Mar 3, 2012 - Hi zoeycat77,I'm really happy that my videos have helped you in some way, and thankyou very much for the kind offer as I would love to fish in America and if you ever get the chance to visit Scotland especially the southwest then I would be happy to take you out myself...Many thanks again...All the best Davie

Apr 14, 2012 - Hi Mark,I'll send you a link to a video I have here on youtube in which I have tyed two dries and I would never leave home without, the Lark and Grey and the Gery Duster these have caught me more fish than any dry I have on the river Ayr and I'm sure if the fish are rising on the Doon they will work just as well..Many thanks for the kind words and If you are having any problems please get back to me..All the best Davie
