Frankie McPhillips, from his fly tying DVD, shows how to tie the Black Pennell, a great lough wet fly if starting out in fly tying:

Frankie McPhillips has been been tying flies for 35 years and has personally tied over two hundred thousand fishing flies, both traditional patterns and his own exclusive fly designs.

His branded range of fishing flies reflects the needs of the modern day angler, whether fishing the Hill Lochs of Donegal or the mighty Yokanga on the Kola Peninsula.

The FLY range in www.frankiemcphillips.com is a mixture of old traditional patterns, variants and new patterns. The use of the correct colour blends of Traditional Irish Dubbing in the dressings gives them an authenticity and uniqueness which distinguishes them from other fly brands.
