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 tying tips you would like to share or if you have any patterns you would like to see tied here.
A simple fly for a simple guy. Thanks Matt.
Thanks Johnny! I just finished a pretty fun one for Monday morning. It's called a Sand Fly-- another general searching nymph, also pretty easy to tie. Cheers. -Matt
I like the dubbing loop and how it turned out. Leaving a red thread tag for a rib might work nicely also. Thank Matt.
That's actually a great idea Lee. We could have dubbed this with a regular dubbing noodle (no loop), and just wrapped a tag up through it to make it stronger and give some of the red color. And that might make it a bit easier to tie. I wish I had thought of that!
Nice little fly. Dubbing loop is a neat idea. Thx Matt. 🙂
Appreciate it Clyde! Have a great weekend!
Good Morning Sir Matt, Caught this video here at work. Man I Love those natural colors. there just something about that. Fly I mean FLYMPH . I have a brand new hare's mask and a hen cape that almost looks chocolate in color. i'm going to twist up a few after work. Thanks Sir Matt, won't be long before you hit 3k subscribers. until the next time my Friend..... tight lines and have a great weekend Sir.
Thank you Edward! My hare's mask is getting pretty shabby but you know what? I've been using this same one for almost two years. These things last forever! Have a great weekend and happy tying. :-)
I think, in essence, what Hidy called a 'flymph' is what today is generally referred to today as an 'emerger.' Thanks for another fine video.
Yep, I agree Peter! That's the same thing Lyle said in the book. Although I typically think of emergers sitting right up in the surface film, and as kind of a semi-fry fly... I've probably been fishing them wrong for years anyway. :-)
Two things;flymphs are perfect for high stick drifts(Leisrnring lift)controlling the depth.If yo look at old English flies the sparce dubbing was used for the thread to show through helping with the color illusion of the body.
Yep, you're 100% right Michael. Lots of the old English patterns go by this principle. Have a great weekend my friend!
looks like a fish catcher to me .Thanks Matt
Thanks James! Have a great weekend my friend. :-)
Nice tie, thanks Matt for sharing
Appreciate it Layton. Have a great weekend my friend!
Great pattern and fishes well.thanks Matt for the video.
Appreciate it Mike. Have a great weekend!
HEY MATT....NICE PATTERN ... THANKS ... AND AS ALWAYS I WILL BE WATCHING ..... SEE YA JOE
Appreciate it Joe! I still see some Facebook alerts now and then from you but man, I'm such a slacker I never get on that site! I need to get hot. :-) And oh yeah, I've still got some stickers for you. I'll get to the post office someday I promise!
@@SavageFlies yeah...I send you stuff..can't get the email to work for some reason..so I go that way...can't wait for the stickers..thanks...have a awesome weekend.
Matt your timing of releasing your videos is great. I’m sure enjoying sitting in the morning sun with a cup of coffee and watching a fly tying video.
Thanks John; that's a cool thing to hear! I appreciate the comment and feedback... it keeps me motivated to keep tying. :-)
Good job, Matt.
Appreciate it Jim! Have a great weekend. :-)
Good looking fly sir! Thanks
Thanks man! Can't go wrong with some of these simple guys. :-)
Nice simple pattern. Going to have tie up a few of the for my donation box.
Excellent Steve. A quick and easy tie with cheap materials. We can't go wrong with this combo. Where do you donate your flies? I've been meaning to reach out to Project Healing Waters for some of my surplus but just haven't yet.
@@SavageFlies Matt, I usually donate my flies to the Fly Casting for Recovery program. Is it OK to send you an email with contact information.
@@stevetrybalski3082 Absolutely! matt@savageflies.com. Thanks!
@@SavageFlies Matt, I have not forgotten the email. My business card holder with all information has been misplaced. If I cannot find it today I will give my mentor a call for confirmation information. Thanks for your patience.
Nice tie Matt I like the buggy look of this I will definitely be doing a few of these thanks for sharing
Thanks Tom! Looking back at this one, I think I made the head too big, but it'll fish. Have a great weekend! :-)
Great job Matt. A nice looking fly and simple to tie. Thanks Matt have a nice week end.
Appreciate it Butch! You and Judy have a great weekend too!
That is a gorgeous looking fly Matt
I have never tried to tie this one
I guess it's about time
Thanks for the video
You bet Dave. I haven't tied a lot of flymphs either but I hear they can be amazing fish catchers!
How appropriate👍
Ahhh... I didn't even catch that it's almost March! I should have held off on this one for a couple days and released it on Monday, March 1st. :-)
Yes, SIMPLE, that’s for me Matt hahah
Simple fly? I don't know, it would probably take me 6 hours to tie something like this 😄
Ha! Thanks Sarge. And no way Otto. After ten minutes of practicing, you'd be able to tie this in your sleep. :-)
Pretty cool!!!!
Thanks Dan!
love it
Thank you Mike; appreciate it my friend!
Was hoping youd tie this fly!
Hey, thanks Chris! And I've got maybe a half dozen more I want to do out of this book. :-)
@@SavageFlies Cant wait to see them!
"it's fished just under the surface."
What is the difference between a flymph and a wet fly, please?
Good question Dave. Think of a dry fly that you fish completely on the surface, and you want it to drift naturally on top (no drag). A flymph you might want to fish just like this, but slightly under the surface. Kind of like you would fish an emerger too. Now you *can* fish some wet flies like this as well. But lots of wet flies you fish deeper, and with a little action. For example, you might cast a wet fly in fast water, directly across from where you're standing, let it sink and dead drift downstream until you get a tight line and then let it swing up and in. That's kind of an "active" retrieve. And lots of times that's when you'll get the take with a wet fly... at the end of the drift when it looks like an insect swimming toward the surface. I hope this helps!
@@SavageFlies Thanks for this great tip. It's a good refresher for me. I have not fished in a long while.
@@SavageFlies Thank you. That's a good answer.
Some floatant on the leader might encourage this to stay near the surface also.
Another great idea. Put some floatant up until about the last six inches of tippet and this thing might ride exactly where you want it.
Have you ever tied pickit.pin nymphs. They are a good one.
I have seen the Picket Pin in a couple of my books Mike, and have been thinking of tying some. Just haven't gotten to it yet. I'll have to fix that and give it a try!
Superfly!
Thanks Bob. I'm working on Saturday's video now. A knock-off North Country Spider using pheasant instead of partridge. Ehhh... not the prettiest fly but I think it'll work.
Great dubbing technique! I think it’s more durable with that twisted body.
Do you thought about some cdc pattern or a flymph with cdc? :)
Thanks Niwel! I have been thinking about doing some CDC patterns lately. And I just watched Peter Charles' latest video last night of a pattern with CDC. I'll probably mix in a couple pretty soon. :-)
@@SavageFlies sounds great! Have a nice day :)
should have dubbed almost to hook eye and palmered hackle over forward 1/3 of body. your result is more of a traditional soft hackle than flymph.
Thanks. I’ll try to remember that next time.
