**Step-by-step tying of the Swedish Dynamite Harry—an ultra-sparse dry that covers midge and mayfly hatches.**

## Why it's worth watching

A proven minimalist dry for selective trout and grayling, equally at home on UK rivers and stillwaters; McPhail’s clear tuition helps anglers get proportions, materials and variants right for tricky buzzer and small olive hatches.

Embed with a short note on UK use: ideal during light midge/olive hatches, calm water and sippers; include a concise materials list and guidance to tie a range of small sizes for rivers and stillwaters.
