Hook: #12-16 2x long nymph
Weight: 0.025 (1-2 sizes bigger than normal)
Tail: Brown goose biots
Body: Peacock herl
Hackle: Brown rooster

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.

Very nice sir, thanks for sharing! I had one thought though, I wonder how it would be to counter wrap the wire after the hackle? That would make it a lot tougher. What do you think?

@SavageFlies 4 года назад

That's actually a pretty good idea. In fact, the recipe in Don Kirk's book didn't even mention using wire to lock in the herl. I added that just because I've had a lot of peacock herl nymphs start falling apart after a few fish. I think doing it your way (the wire as the last step) would probably make it more durable.... you'd just have to be careful not to trap too many hackle fibers. I'm going to pin this comment in case anyone else has the same idea. Thanks my friend!

Very nice. I like everything about this one. That red resin head really sets it off. Great job of tying. Enjoyable video. Thank you Sir.

Thanks Matt for another fine fly! It's reminiscent of the Griffiths nat. I like the fishiness look if it. Gonna have 2 put some in my box. God Bless n fish on!

@TheHillcityhobo 4 года назад

Yep. Gonna tie that one tonight. I believe I may use green biots because that's what I have on hand. Great video Matt. Thanks!

@SavageFlies 4 года назад

Green biots might actually look cooler. I only have black, white and brown, even though the brown in this picture looks a bit yellow. Email me a picture of how it looks with green if you think about it. :-)

I like the red head that it has. Matt are you using the Boya By-M1 Mic? I'm releasing a video about it tomorrow, not sure if it is the same as the one you are using

@SavageFlies 4 года назад

I sure am. This one. amzn.to/3ire9Tc. I also have one by Knox that came with a Tascam DR-05X. But I think the Boya may be better.
