   Hi Daniel (CpDannyboy0345),

   Veniards supply many companies with these materials and if they don’t I would think they should be able to order them for you..

   Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year..

   All the best Davie

   Hi Davey (smithmccrum),

   Glad you liked the fly, Yes I did dye the fox mask and the dyes I use are from Veniards, I find them easiest to work with…

   All the best Davie

   If you went to the Galloway game fair you would have seen him and his two girls showing you how to Spey cast. But a video would be nice as well.

    Hi Chance (txflytier),

    The fox I used is very mobile and so it pulsates with every swirl and switch you give it. I’m glad you like the fly and you are going to give the body a go…

    All the best Davie

    Hi Davie

    Thats is a great looking fly. I really like the way the body is done. That would work great on minnow patterns. The fox you dyed looks great. Does the fox pulsate when you retrive it?

    Thanks for the Great Vids
    Chance

    Davie,
    Your Spey Casting is Beautiful!
    You could do a 15 minuit long video of you Spey casting and i’d sit here and watch the whole thing.
    Oh and the flys superb too!
    Tight Lines,
    ~David
