Savage Flies is a project with the mission of encouraging and teaching fly tying to as many people as possible. The channel is named after one of my western Maryland homewaters, the Savage River. I've been uploading at least three new videos a week (usually Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday).
Thanks for stopping by. Please let me know in the comments if you have any tips or tricks that could help me or anyone else watching.
It’s 1:30 am and I’ve just been binge watching your videos. I just can’t help it! Thank you for all you do for this sport!
That one brings back memories, Matt. Never did much good on trout with the yellow wooly worm, but big panfish...that was one of my best choices.
Another fly that’s easy to like. Very comparable to the Zulu as for tying and fishing possibilities. Good looking fly that appears to be a good beginners fly. Another fine job Matt. A video easy to enjoy. Thank you.
I fished this fly alot here in the Ozarks 20 years ago or longer, it was a go to flt at Bennett Spring state park!! All the shops had them. I caught alot of fish on them!!
I tied a couple a couple of days ago and it came through yesterday morning for me.
Hey Matt! Just watched your video. Excellent as usual!! So many tricks when it comes to details, like the toothbrush on the tail
Looks great Matt! Another bright one that “pops”.
This is one of my favorite patterns. I like using red chenille and a little pinch of squirrel tail in place of the wool
So I kinda spam comments sometimes cuz I have questions. I will be binge watching a lot of your videos. I am noticing a theme, they are all mimics of actual creatures. Do you ever tie "fantasy" flies? Like stuff that doesn't really exist?
What is This supposed to imitate
