Hook: #12-18 Nymph
Thread: Black
Tail: Tuft of hare's ear
Rib: Gold wire
Body: Hare's ear
Wingcase: Turkey wing feather, dark slip
Thorax: Hare's ear with guard hairs (different color for hotspot)
Savage Flies is a project (named after one of my homewaters, the Savage River in Western Maryland, US). I've been trout fishing for many years but have only been tying for the last couple and am learning more every week. If you have any pointers on techniques that would help, I would love to hear them in the comments.
I've been posting new videos every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1:00 pm EST.
Love natural materials, your patterns are great and not hard to tie.
Thanks Bruce! I try to keep a lot of my flies simple since that's about where my skill level is right now. :-)
I appreciate you watching!
I'm trying that one tomorrow.. I like it
Thanks, Love it!
love this fly
Appreciate it Mike! And that you're watching some of my old videos. I've come a long way since last year. :-)
Matt, that is a nice hair's ear
The hot spot looks good 👍
Thanks Dave! I had a little bit of luck with this earlier this year.
I dont have to use head cement if I'm putting two wip finish on my flys? If so...that's awesome!! Yep! I get excited over stuff like this 😊
Man this is a nice looking fly. Looks fun to tie as well. I think I have seen green rabbits 🐰 on a couple of occasions in my life. But we will just leave that here. As for the hares mask, a person needs that in natural for sure. With this particular fly you also mentioned it in green. But you personally, if you only had a hares mask in one other color?Which color would you choose other than natural? Very nice job Sir. Thank you for the great video.
Hey Matt, what's your camera setup and editing software for these videos? They look great!
Hey, thanks Sean! Sorry I just saw this comment. I'm using a Sony Handycam, FDR-AX33. (It's an actual camcorder and not a DSLR that it seems a lot of UA-camrs use.) I use free/opensource software for editing. Some of the earlier ones I used KDEnlive but the last several I've been using Olive. It's still in beta but I'm liking it so far.
I appreciate your comments and certainly appreciate you watching the videos!
Cheers,
Matt
WoW 🤩!!!! Where do I get a Orvis vector brush & what’s it gonna set me back?!
Great video 👍🏻. Thank you.
Ha! That Orvis dubbing brush is a trade secret. (Unless anyone figures out it was a Popsicle stick with piece of Velcro glued to it.)
Are you the guy from the odd man out podcast? You sound just like him
Nope, not me but I’ll have to check it out to see what you’re talking about. 😁
I could use this cautiously around sunken trees for gills and crappy
Oh yeah Sam! I'd tie this as big as a 10 or 12 for bluegill and crappie. Maybe even throw a bead on it. :-)
@@SavageFlies thanks for the tip on sizing for gills. My current gill fly is a gnat or ant…can see this slaying them.
