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. Thanks for stopping by.
I'm just beginning my fly tying journey, and just want to say your channel is awesome. I'm so amazed at the history behind flies. It's just very cool!!
Well thank you Terence! I appreciate these kind words. Notes like this is what keeps me up after midnight making videos when I should probably be in bed. :-)
Love watching your videos in the State of Idaho. Be nice to see more of western flies. Enjoy watching you fish the flies you tie as well.
Oh man... I'll get back to doing some of Scott Sanchez's patterns soon. :-)
Great fly tying expo in Boise last weekend. Hope you got a chance to go.
Nice, easy to tie nymph. Think we'll use this in our Monday night classes in Dunkirk, state of New York.
Outstanding Vincent! I love to hear that my friend. :-)
This resident of the state of Texas thanks you for the fly tying videos!
You're welcome Ralph! Appreciate the note my friend. :-)
Love "swiss straw" especially after it gets wet, Gives the fly a great natural look. Live in the STATE of Kansas and also fish the state of Colorado and the state of Missouri.
Yes indeed Rollin! And hey, I saw your email. Good tip I'll have to consider. I'll get around to answering all my overdue emails soon. :-)
Thanks Matt for all your information. I’d be proud to wear a shirt like that around the STATE of Maine!
I love your background music when I watch your fly tying videos! I can't wait to try this messy nymph in my home river in the state of New York on the West Canada Creek! #state #NY thanks again Matt!!
Thanks Kyle! Appreciate the kind words my friend. :-)
Kyle- congrats! I just did the drawing and you won a shirt. Send me an email with your address and I'll get it in the mail to you. matt@savageflies.com
This is a really fun pattern with alot of color possibilities. Thank you Sir Matt for all you do.
years ago, one of the first nymph patterns I was taught was called a rabbit nymph. Much the same as this with guard hair tail, any color body, wire rib and turkey quill wing case . Very easy to tie in small sizes and once wet, sunk like a stone.
Awesome to hear Tom! Thanks for the note my friend. :-)
As always, your videos are the best online! I’ve only been at this a year and you’ve been a great inspiration for me! I’m from the STATE of Ohio, so the same flies you fish should work well for me. I just wish there was more trout streams near me. God bless!
Well thank you Brandon! I appreciate these kind words my friend. :-)
Thanks Matt for all you do, I'm not in the States , I'm in Ontario so I'll sit this one out 👍
You're welcome Mike! I still appreciate you watching my friend. :-)
Edward says this would be a great fly in the state of Virginia. 😀 Gonna tie some up this weekend. If your randomizer chooses me please pass it on to the next person. I’m a XXL shirt guy. Have a great week!
Hahaha, good one Ed. If my randomizer picks you, I'll get you something like a hat. Unless your head is an XXL too. 🤣
We love your flies and videos here in the STATE of Missouri! Thanks for the inspiration Matt
Thanks Shane! Appreciate the note my friend. :-)
Shane- congrats! I just did the drawing and you won a shirt. Send me an email with your address and I'll get it in the mail to you. matt@savageflies.com
Thanks for this pattern and the opportunity to claim a state (stake) for your march.
The final state of that fly looked great! Would work in my state of Pa, no matter what state my casting is in!
I haven't tied my own flies in over 20 years, I used to use them for bass here in the state of Nebraska. My favorite one I tied was a mouse made of deer hair.
It’s close to my fly I use already and it works great in North Carolina in the small streams with deep pockets.
Good job Matt. You can turn a mess into a work of art. Yes that would be a great fly here in East Texas. Thank you. Take care and be careful.
Hahaha! Thanks Sidney and good luck my friend!
Good morning Matt,
Looks meaty to me 🤣🤣🤣
The Hungry Trout, have an amazing day. Heading home from NC, saying goodbye to the family. 20days up here will really miss our Granddaughter and get back to the state of Georgia 👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh yeah! I'm just now getting to these comments so I imagine you're already home. Well I hope you had a safe trip! Send my best to Joyce. :-)
I'll state that this fly should work for the state of conditions expected early season in the state of Michigan. Thanks for your entertaining videos.
Nicely stated! 😂
Hahaha! Good one Dave. :-)
Thanks Matt I really look forward to the Flies every week I enjoy making them and it really keeps me occupied:-) have a great time at the farm
Thanks Marty! Appreciate the note my friend. :-)
The state of Maine people would love a savage shirt thank you 😊 🙏
I think this looks very much like a near universal mayfly! I particularly like how it's messy, but very buggy. Yeah, I'm a crazy soul, too! Being in Washington State, I will proudly wear a Savage Flies shirt!
This would work great in my State of Pennsylvania! Being in the South Central area there are numerous creeks at various times if the year. Awesome pattern, always love the content!!
Nice little pattern from state Pa. thanks for sharing
This would be a great fly to use in the state of Connecticut . Thanks for the videos Matt .
Thanks Steve! Appreciate the note my friend. :-)
Thanks Matt, another great fly to try out on the bench. Should work well here in the Driftless spring creeks of the state of Minnesota

Good day Matt. Enjoyed your video. Had me laughing at the end. Not only am I enjoying the weather I can participate in the draw since I am in the STATE of Arizona. I must say my regularly scheduled programming isn’t regularly scheduled anymore. 😁
That's right John! (Psss... email me your Arizona mailing address. I've got some other goodies I can send your way.)
Beautiful fly as always, planning on tying this up a bit later, I’m sure it’ll work good! I’m from the STATE of Pennsylvania, and have been slamming the steelhead on nymphs and beads!
Thanks Zach! Appreciate the note my friend. :-)
always great watching your videos matt thanks see ya joe.
I will try this fly in my home state of Utah. Thanks Matt
Go for it Marcus!
Another nice one Matt, thanks for sharing have a blessed day my friend.
Thanks! Appreciate the note my friend. :-)
Thanks Matt !! Always enjoy watching your channel and it puts me in a good STATE of mind to head to the vise. Take Care and keep the patterns coming.
Nice work Matt. Thanks.
Great video Matt! Thanks for sharing! This fly looks a lot like a damsel nymph I love using in the state of Oregon!
Oregon! Oh man, I'm jealous of you Kyle. :-)
Have you ever fished Trillium Lake on Mt Hood? Before moving to Texas, my son and I loved fishing up there.
Great pattern as always!! Thanks again
Great pattern Matt. I was looking at the same one in my copy of FFE...great minds. 😂 Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend.
Yes indeed Todd! You have a great weekend too my friend. :-)
Thanks Matt. Nice nymph with generally available materials which I appreciate. I'm from the grand state of Maryland home to the Gunpowder! #state. Cheers!
Yes indeed Neil! I haven't been to the GP since early November. I'm due for a day up there soon!
Possible subject for a future video….Tenkara flies.
This came up to mind when you said it’s kinda messy.
I personally don’t know much if anything of Tenkara style fishing or flies.
Funny you mention that. I was out on the Potomac a couple weeks ago. Got all dressed in my waders and boots, started to rig up my rod and realized I forgot my reels. I had to break out my emergency Tenkara rod from under the back seat. That's when I realized I really suck at Tenkara fishing. :-)
In the state of missouri ya got to show me!!! Lol tight lines and have fun down on the farm!!!
Matt thanks for the new fly, looks like it might work here in the state of Wisconsin in the summer
You bet Jim! Appreciate the note my friend. :-)
Very nice looking fly Matt. I love the ones when we have a wider range of size and colors. Would definitely be a great fly to use in the state of Wisconsin. Thank you buddy.
You got it Jeff!
Hey Matt. Going to tie me a few of these to fish in these Great Smoky Mountains of the great state of Tennessee! Go Vols!
Oh man, I'm jealous! I can't wait to get down to the GSM this year. :-)
I’m going to give this pattern a try up here in the state of Vermont where it is always tee-shirt weather.
Hahaha. That's sneaky there Mr. Toaster. :-)
Nice nymph. Thx Matt!
Very cool fly Matt!! A man couldn’t be in the right STATE of mind and not want to fish that fly!! Thanks again Matt and enjoy the extended weekend!!
To paraphrase, sort of, Oliver Hardy - That's another fine messy marabou nymph you've tied for us Matt. Actually, it is a fine nymph I'd be proud to use in the state of New York. Get some sleep buddy so you can enjoy your holiday weekend. Take care.
Hahaha... you still make me laugh! And I think of you whenever I hear Bob Hope singing "Thanks for the Memories." Man I love those oldies. :-)
@@SavageFlies 😂 Good!
Matt, Great job with the Marabou! That looks like a great fly for Bluegill here in the STATE of TX
Absolutely Jimmy!
What a cool bug to use Matt.
Morning Matt. Your timing for this fly is perfect. Last Saturday I got my (new & not used) copy of The Federation of Fly Fishers Fly Pattern Encyclopedia that I found for $39. I’ve seen you reference a lot of flies in your videos from it and since my birthday is tomorrow it was the perfect opportunity for me to hunt one down. Additionally, today or tomorrow I’m expecting my Daiichi 1270 hooks to be here also from J. Stockard. Although #10 were the smallest they had in stock. Mega Thx again for your Outstanding Videos. They’re improving my tying significantly, at least with the seven patterned that I’ve tied so far. Keep up the great work!!!!
Thank you! This is such a great comment to get. Sorry I'm just responding-- life has kept me busy lately. I'm glad you got a copy of the book- I think you're going to love it! And... I hope you had a happy birthday!!
@@SavageFlies I greatly appreciate your birthday wishes as well as your time answering my comments. I know you probably get hundreds of responses on a regular basis if not daily. A lot of folks probably don’t realize the amount of time and effort that goes into just making a video, but when you factor in the content involved in making a video as detailed as yours are on a regular basis is an enormous commitment so please know that everything you put into your videos makes a difference to a lot of folks and truly enhances our knowledge and more importantly our lives. Keep up the Amazing work. Thanks again !
Yep your right it is messy!! But cool Gonna try em out on the trout down here, Tight lines!!
You’ve really shown me a lot of simple patterns that are pretty useful trout fishing in my state
This would be a great fly to use in the state of Kansas. I agree tying it in a 20 would be tough.
You know it John ! Appreciate the note my friend. :-)
Matt, I like the simple buggy look of this fly. I think this fly would work well here in the state of Utah.
Yes it would Mark!
This would be a good fly to use in the STATE of Pennsylvania. Matt, That ending definitely makes your blooper reel finals. LOL!
Oh man, I know it Jim! I really need to start saving these blooper clips. I could have made a three hour video of all my screw ups from 2022. :-) Speaking of that... did you ever watch Bill Dance (bass fisherman)? If you know him, search YT for his bloopers. They are hilarious. :-)
Matt thank you for your channel, you bring humor to the tying bench. Nice fly will be tying some up to use in my state of Missouri. Let me know if you are making a trip to our great state, I have some maps and information that our Conservation puts out. Also there is a book on fly fishing in Missouri. Tight lines to you all.
Thank you! I have no immediate plans to get to MO, but I would love to spend a week in the Ozarks sometime soon. It's definitely on my to-visit list when I start writing my first book.
Got another tip I use white or blue plastic broom fibers and melt the ends for crab eyes n crawfish n shrimp eyes!! Have fun ya all!!
Love your channel. Thanks for putting your time into it. Look forward to tie a few of these up to fish in the state of Arizona or this spring in Colorado. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Chris! Appreciate the note my friend. :-)
I like it! Saw lots of Mayflies on the local creek this weekend. This fly should work well. Thanks Matt! I have a Savage shirt and wear it often. Have a great weekend at the farm. 👍👍👌🙂
Yes indeed Charlie! Probably no fishing this time, but a nice relaxing weekend with the family. :-)
Your vids are great man. Thanks for investing the time. state North Carolina
Thanks Troy! Appreciate the note my friend. :-)
Good Morning Sir Matt, messy, messy but so good. I really like this style of fly and it works really well on still waters. Thanks Matt and by the way I was really surprised with your comments on using my name .... tha was really cool. Thanks again and stay safe in all the crazy weather Sir.
Hahaha! You know I always think of you Edward. You've been one of my longest subscribers, and you've been watching for so long, I feel like we've been buddies for a couple years now!
@@SavageFlies yes Sir I don't se that changing anytime soon. This Channel is my GO TO. Thanks again Teacher.
Great fly for the state of Tennessee!
Great fly to use in MISSOURI!
Thanks James! Appreciate the note my friend. :-)
Matt, I have that book, too. I am going to look this pattern up. I think it should catch fish here in the state of Pennsylvania.
Nice nymph Matt. I know it will do well in the state of Massachusetts.
Thanks.
Frank- congrats! I just did the drawing and you won a shirt. Send me an email with your address and I'll get it in the mail to you. matt@savageflies.com
Another great fly! Does wonders in the state of maryland!
Thanks Robert! Appreciate the note my friend. :-)
Great looking fly, that would be a great fly for the Ausable here in the STATE of Michigan. Going to tie up a few.
Thanks Norman! Appreciate the note my friend. :-)
Love this pattern Matt, I know this will work in my state. I'll definitely be adding this to the box in many colors and sizes. Thanks Matt for sharing.
You got it Layton! Have a great weekend my friend. :-)
Haven't seen this one yet in the state of Missouri. I'll have to try it.
Yes indeed Todd! Appreciate the note my friend. :-)
Send one of them to NY State. Thanks for the video Matt!! Take 3... 😂
Hahaha! You know it Alex. :-)
Added to my box for when I leave the great state of Kansas, and return to the black river in the state of Missouri.
TWO states in your comment. Well played Jesse. :-)
I would be happy to represent Savage Flies in the state of Missouri! Keep it up man!
Thanks Derek! Appreciate the note my friend. :-)
Another nice pattern I'm sure it will work for me in the state of Idaho.
Thanks Brian! Appreciate the note my friend. :-)
It's definitely a cool looking fly, Matt
You did one similar a few weeks ago. After I tied up a few, I was thinking about something like this
Thanks for the video, Matt
And it would be a cool fly to try in the state Alabama 😎
Yes it would Dave! Thanks for the comment my friend. :-)
Used this fly for many species in the great state of Idaho.
Nice and buggy it great in Mass. #state Thanks for sharing Matt.
Thanks Butch! Appreciate the note my friend. :-)
I need to get that book. State of Indiana
Nice job Matt, and I’m here in the Wild and Wonderful State of West Virginia
Oh man, I'm going to have to hit you up for some WV waters. I was on the North Branch of the Potomac a couple weeks ago. In the upstate the river makes the border between WV and MD. I think I actually parked in the small city of Barnum, WV.
@@SavageFlies anytime Matt the Elk River is awesome and there’s a few back streams too and I like to try the Potomac
I would like to state for the record that this channel is awesome. Those shirts are just my size lol. I have to tell you I would make that shirt look good. Ha ha. Fun fly and fun watching you tie. I got a one pound box of fur from Glacier Wear and man, what a selection. It had wolf,coyote,fox,beaver,raccoon, and something bright white (maybe rabbit I don’t know but it sure is pretty). I may be known as streamer man this year. Thanks Matt for all you do, and as normal warmest regards.
That's awesome to hear Mark! Isn't a pound of fur a LOT of material? I could tie for years from the pound I bought last summer. :-)
That will be a awsome fly to try in our Province of BC.😊
Ahhh Mitch I forget you're from up in the great white north! Hope the winter isn't too cold for you. :-)
@@SavageFlies Well it's been a cold couple of months, now having lots of rain and snow run off. Steelhead fishing happening now with large crowds of fly and drift fishers. I really enjoy your fly tying instruction and ideas!!!😊
Love the tongue twister. I believe that this nymph pattern will work in the up state of South Carolina.
Yes indeed Darrell! Do you ever trout fish upstate? I went to college in Charleston but am thinking of making a trip to one of your rivers this spring. Is it the Saluda up there in the corner? I can't remember but I do want to get back down there. :-)
@Savage Flies yes I do. I have never done the Saluda in the upstate but have fished the streams around Mountain Rest.
Great buggy fly. Love it. I think I can do this one. Love your channel. Hope it works in the great State of Texas. Bet it will.
Thanks Richard! Appreciate the note my friend. :-)
Great looking fly! State of Texas
Gonna try this in the Smokey mountains of the state of tennessee
Thanks Cody! Appreciate the note my friend. :-)
Neat fly. I live on the western side of the State of Pennsylvania. Have fun at the farm
Thanks Jeff! I'm looking forward to a few days of down time. :-)
@@SavageFlies you are very welcome Matt. Oh yeah down time is always a good thing. Enjoy
Hi Matt, always love your content. I'm hoping to get to use flies & jigs on our river systems in the STATE of northern Wisconsin, Hopefully in June or July when the snow & ice melts off! LOL Have a great week!
Oh man, snow until June?? That's crazy talk! We haven't had the first snowflake here in Maryland. :-)
Well you know I watched till the end which proves my state of mind isn't right I'm looking forward to wearing that shirt 👍👍
Hahaha! I know you always do Thomas. And I appreciate it. :-)
Looks like a great fly for state of New Hampshire
Oh, the Granite State! I haven't been there in years. :-)
Love your videos. I’ve learned so much about tying flys. I’m sure this fly will catch trout in the state of Missouri!
Thanks Curt! Appreciate the note my friend. :-)
