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.

This is one of my favorite dry flies. Much easier to tie than I thought. Thank you Sir Matt for showing how to fill my fly box with some more dry flies.
Nice!
I am going to have to get the book. And yes I too like to tie my own

Great looking fly I going to do this one I don’t have greatly but I’m going to use brown rooster neck
Nice fly. May need to build some experience before trying this one. That’s a lot going on, on what is a small hook to me. Enjoyable video. Thank you.
Great visibility for dry dropper rigs.

Very true. I tossed this one for a bit on an Idaho river today and with a little floatant it stayed visible in some pretty rough water.
looking good Matt, this guy looks like a Lion to me! cool design!

Yes, dragons are awesome! Tell you what, I'll invent a streamer someday and name it in your honor. "Otto's Dragon" is going to be purple and gold. 👍👍

Is the wing buck tail or deer body hair? Nice pattern, again thanks for sharing sir! I’m loving your channel!

Thanks friend! It's deer hair. I think it would be hard to get buck tail to be full enough to look right.
Does look like one for gsmnp.
Nice pattern Matt. Is that floss similar to antron?

Thanks Jason. No, this was silk floss but you could use Antron. Just take a fairly small bunch of it and wrap it a little tight to keep it flat. Antron is much "stretchier" than silk.
What region or streams do you fish?

I'm in Maryland so my homewaters are the Savage River and the Gunpowder. But I get to Virginia and Pennsylvania a couple times a year. I'm actually in Idaho right now (just got off the Middle Fork of the Salmon River) tonight. I was last down on Western NC in 2019 but can't wait to get back!
When you say yellow floss what do you mean? What material is it?
@SavageFlies

It's a standard fly tying floss. It's not silk so probably nylon or rayon. This is what I usually buy: flyshack.com/DisplayItem.aspx?ItemID=23617
