New tying videos posted every Wednesday and Sunday at 7:00 AM (EST). My mission: tutorials, tips & tricks, and giving back to the tying community.
I have THREE goals to help achieve the mission:
1) Fly Tying Tutorials. I've been publishing at least two new tying videos every week. Hopefully a new tier can learn a little something from each one.
2) Tips, tricks, product reviews, and fly histories. I think linking the next generation of tiers with our forefathers in the community is a great way to continue the heritage that makes fly fishing and tying such a great sport.
3) Giveaways. Sometimes there is no better way to give back to the community than simply giving back. From vises, tools and tool kits, tying books, gift cards, etc, I want to help as many people as possible enjoy tying.
Cheers,
Matt O'Neal

what is the dimesons of the foam for this? wanting to make one
Gonna add that to the box in a couple colors. And I guess I would be eligible because my calls me a clown and I love to fish
G’morning Matt. You said it, I do rock! Sheet rock, flagstone, you name it. Does a circus on the stream bank offer an opportunity to see a clown fish? Please let me know in the comments section below. Thank you.
Heh, clown fish. Keep at it. I have let my own channel fade away, so I'm glad you're still at it. You bring something to the craft, or we wouldn't be here watching your videos. :)
Matt, Great videos and not boring! CLOWN FISH. I like that you are tempering us in that our flies don't have to be perfect, only fish able. Too often we think we must have a perfect fly. Thanks again?
Clownfish. Love your videos
Clown Fish for the win! Love the content and the intros. It’s always fun to watch and tie along with.
Dang guess i am a bit late for the give away lol
Tough looking tie on this
I have learn quite a bit from you thank you
Clown fish!!!! Nemo
Very nicely done
There's nothing boring about a fly that catches fish, even if it's a CLOWN FISH. In fact, whenever you see me trying to cast into the wind you see a CLOWN FISH-ing.
I absolutely Love all your videos Matt. Do you have a website where I can purchase your merchandise?
Is it Clown fish or Clowns fish? I know a place where Clowns fish. It’s called Holly Creek in Eton, GA. I enjoy your vids Matt.
#Clownfish -- Neat
Good looking fly. A clown fish couldn’t resist it.
Clown fish in it. LoL. Thanks for the chance to win.
Love this fly! I’m new to tying, I live in Nashville, TN. But I’ve hiked about 600 Miles of the Smokeys. My trail name is Nemo, (a famous clown fish lol😂). I’ve tied around 10 of the Smokey series flies. Have a place in Nantahala and using the flies there as well.
Steve, this is so cool to hear! I lived in Franklin, TN for a few years and grew up in north GA so have fished a fair amount down in your parts. And I still like to come down to the Smokies for a week every spring. I love it down your way! Thanks for the note my friend. :-)
What's boring about learning a new fly pattern? Clown Fish says "nothing."
Not boring at Matt. Learning a lot as a newbie. Thanks, clown fish
Clown Fish just incase, i wear a size large shirt. Awesome package Matt. I’m in. Sweet looking fly. You folks have a wonderful evening bud.
Clownfish? Never boring
You explain things well. I’ll be making a few of these. It reminds me of a moth I see in Idaho in late fall. Clownfish 0:14 0:14
Matt! Can you fly fish for a Clown Fish? 😂🤡🐠
have really been enjoying the videos, are there any flies that will catch a clown fish?
Great Clown Fish fly, sometimes simple fly work the best thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the new pattern idea! Its amazing how manny different flies can be made with the same few materials. But even then, your videos are interesting and its always great seeing new content from you! Clown fish.
Maybe do a fly pattern for Clownfish. Lol
This Clown Fish would love an XL sweatshirt. Love your videos!
Baked clown fish with asparagus is delicious.
This clown fish like the fly
Hello sir! This was NOT a boring clownfish fly tutorial! I liked it! I'm a newbee so everything that I see I try to learn something from! You are one of my favorite "Fly-Cooks!!" And i would love the recipe and that wonderful box of goodies!!
Clown fish enjoy your videos and so do I
Not boring at all. No extra fluff or filler or drama. Btw….clownfish
Cool looking fly! Gotta give it a try. Think it would fool a Clown Fish?
Clown fish. Nothing wrong with that video Matt. Thanks
Great video, you have inspired me to ask my son to give me some of the animal pelts from his bow hunting!
Caddis is such a tried and true pattern. It never ceases to amaze me how many colors the same bug can be. Thanks Matt Clown fish sounds like something you’d catch out of the ocean 😊
Clown fish
Clown fish! I think this is a great fly and an easy tie! Can’t wait to tie some up and give them a shot! Thanks! Clown fish! :)
Not boring at all! Clown Fish!!
so Clown Fish it is. nice looking fly. i once owned Eric Leiser’s Price Vise. it’s sort of a long story . Eric’s “The Complete Book Of Fly Tying”is still on my shelf after 50 years.
Awesome video Matt, as always. Not boring at all. Thank you for your support of our sport. Clown Fish
Clownfish.Rock .Thanks for sharing your talent .
Love your videos. I’m about to tie my first fly. Wish me luck. Hubby is teaching me. We watch your videos every evening together. Also really appreciate how clean your nails are. Haha! Clownfish.
I think clown fish are delicious. Taste like chicken. 🐔
Nothing boring here. Clown fish. Thanks for the chance.
When I approach the water I hear others say, "Let's watch that Clown Fish ".
Are Clown Fish eatable? Nothing wrong with the video bro. 😂
