The hats on and hats off definitely got my attention. The first switch had me saying, "Wait, What just happened?"

@SavageFlies 2 года назад

Ha! Yeah, I'm sneaky that way. :-)

@Wyamike734 2 года назад

Good morning Matt. I enjoyed how you snuck the hats in . Nice looking fly ! Thanks for the post !

AZ favorite for lakes, used to tie with red floss in the middle and a grizzly hackle up front. several variants out there under the name AZ peacock lady. still a very productive fly.

Awesome to hear Ralph! When researching this one I did see mention of this still being popular in Arizona. Thanks for the note. :-)

Matt - somehow I missed this one in all of your videos. Just yesterday I was thinking "it'd be cool if Matt did a AZ Peacock Lady, or Apache Lady," and this video was 3rd on my homepage. Beautiful tie!

Hey Mr Miyagi... hat on, hat off ;o) Nice fly "sensei". Awesome hats, really like the two tone, looks good on you too. Glad to see you're adding a store to your "dojo". Happy days to you Matt :o)

@SavageFlies 2 года назад

Ha! Thanks man. It looks like I can afford to get the store kicked off in January with about six items offered. Two styles of hats, two different mugs, the sticker and some t-shirts. Setting up a store is a bigger pain than I thought! And for something that's going to make about twelve bucks a month. :-)

@davidhughes2622 Год назад

Hi from Rolla Missouri 🎣🤠 Dave Hughes I'm going to tye this one!!! When I put down the lead wire and I take the tag and wrap it back over the peacock, it'll keep the fly from unwinding off the back of the fly. Thanks for your time and knowledge you are amazing to tyer!! Good health for you and your's 🎣🤠 Dave Hughes

Have a great weekend Matt! 👍 🎣

@SavageFlies 2 года назад

T-shirts coming in January Charlie! I could only afford to start with one color and two sizes (gray, in L and XL). Hopefully they'll look good. But I was pretty pleased with how the blue/gray hats came out. I haven't gotten a box from you yet but I'll keep on the look out for it. (And yes, the return address on my labels is the best one for me.) Have a great weekend my friend!

Hi Matt.The caps caught my eye.Was hoping you would put on a toebogen with your patch on it.Great looking fly.Reminds me of a wingless RC with a butt hackle.When I clip hackles with sisors to clean them up I end up with little stubs.I have good twezers and I go old testament on them.If thou offends you pluck them out.Your right fish don't mind the stubs.Guess I have ocd.

@johnnylightning1491 2 года назад

Probably thinking too much, but if you left that bead against the bare hook and gave it a little space it would act like a rattle. Just an idea. Keep the good stuff coming Matt, nice fly.

@SavageFlies 2 года назад

That is an interesting thought! I have seen nymphs with three beads for the body and I'm wondering if they could be kind of rattle-y. Possibly if you used an oversized bead. I'm not sure if they would make enough noise to catch a fish's attention though. Something to think about anyway...

Love the merchandise and like this pattern. I was looking at this pattern last week but don't have the beads, yet. So now that I've seen this fly tied, I'm putting forth the effort into finding the correct size beads to make this happen. Thanks Matt for sharing

@SavageFlies 2 года назад

Thanks Layton! I really couldn't remember where I got these glass beads. And the label on them just says, "D's Flyes, Denver, CO." And I've never been to a shop in Denver so I'm sure I got them online somewhere. But they are pretty good quality.

@jeffreystone7327 2 года назад

Good morning Sir. Awesome video buddy. This could definitely become my favorite that I’ve seen you tie so far. Just several things in its favor, my opinion only. To start with, my first double hackle that I remember?. The red glass bead is an attention getter. Then to top it off, double Peacock Hurl. Oh yeah, that works. I could stay busy tying this one, several times. Tie it exactly as it is shown. Or change the bead color, change the hackle color, change the size? I’d think you would build yourself a very versatile arsenal for multiple species??? But one thing for sure. It is an incredible fly and video. Thank you buddy. Truly appreciate all you do for us Matt. Also that new hat in the blue/gray is as attractive as this mornings fly, The Apache Lady.

@SavageFlies 2 года назад

Wow Jeff, thanks for this great comment! You could definitely tie this up in a few different color combos. There are three other flies that come to mind with two hackles. The Renegade, the Smoky Mountain Fore and Aft, and the Little Yellow Stone. I'm sure there are a few others out there but these are three I've tied before. Have a great weekend my friend!

@jeffreystone7327 2 года назад

@@SavageFlies Thanks Matt. I appreciate the other three flies that have the double hackle. I will take a look at them for sure. Hope you have a great weekend as well Sir. I just took a real quick look at the double hackle flies you mentioned to me. Pretty cool flies in their own respect. Now you know that the “Little Yellow Stone” is going to be one that I will be partial to. We will definitely be getting that one wet in the Chippewa and Eau Claire Rivers. Thanks again for the mention. Now I need to go back and watch the complete video of you tying it. I have now completed just over 100 of your videos.

@randyherringshaw6325 2 года назад

@hughiegraves8901 2 года назад

Do you find just wrapping the peacock here stays durable ?

@SavageFlies 2 года назад

Honestly Hughie, I've never fished this fly. I'd say it's not the most durable pattern, but then again, I usually lose my flies long before a fish's teeth cut through the material. Occasionally I'll have a single fly that will be doing so well that it gets pretty shredded, but mostly I donate them to the trees before that happens. :-)
