Welcome to my channel! My name is Matt Campbell and I am addicted to fly fishing and fly tying! I have fly fished most of my life starting when I was eleven years old chasing smallmouth bass in local creeks. In my younger college years, I also lived and guided in Alaska where I commercially tied flies for fly shops, guides, and serious fishermen. I love this sport and if you are passionate about fly fishing you are in the right place. On my channel you will find:
-fly tying demonstrations
-fly tying tips and tricks
-fly fishing videos
-species-specific approaches
-fly fishing gear reviews
-and much more!
Smallmouth bass fly fishing is my addiction but I also chase northern pike, largemouth bass, steelhead, trout, carp, and just about anything else I can get to take a fly. If you want to see the videos mentioned above, then come along with me on my fly fishing journey and subscribe!

Carp naaaa them look like they would kill brook trout
Cool fly. Looked for the recipe…is it still on your website? Thanks
This is super cool dude. Thanks for sharing your method, Im picky what I show people. Just know I like you for it, and you trust your hardwork to other people. Im not saying people dont deserve it, Im just glad you see they dude.
Way to go Matt, nice rainbow for sure. 👍
Thank you!
Thank you for what you have done.Also your videos. I just want to say have get time in your new position.
@@johnmeyer6197 Thank you John! More to come!
Looks great
Thanks!
I just bought one on a slighty bigger frame then your.model from around 2013-2017 and it only runs with the choke on but the clutch is good
@@Katanamaster9. Nice! For the money, you can’t beat it. #chonda
We all do it!!😂
That all sounds good & I wish you the best in the future. I'm similar in that I've been fishing all my life, newer to fly fishing, and I'm writing a book about how I went from knowing nothing about fly fishing to being proficient in it. I'm not doing the tying, the TH-cam channel, or the book for the money. I'm doing it because it's important to me, and I want to educate others on the ups & downs I experienced so they know what they may encounter getting into fly fishing.
That’s awesome! Everybody has something to contribute to this great sport. Looking forward to reading it when it’s all done. ✅
@theflyguytfgflies Thank you sir.
About 5 miles from my house. 😊
Any idea how the size of this thread compares to 2 or 4 lb Mono line? Thanks!
The older green spools might be close to 2lb test but the new pink spools are definitely thinner in diameter. This is also dependent on the brand of line of course. In most cases, definitely thinner in diameter
@@theflyguytfgflies Thanks. I actually just had a look at some specs for a few different types and added it to my "Fly Tying" notes: Sizes: WASPI: Med.= .008” Fine= .006” Ultra Fine= .004”/ UNI brand: Med.= .007 Fine= .004 Mono fishing line: 1lb=.003", 2lb=.005, 3lb=.006, 4lb=.008, 6lb=.009, 10lb=.011 Like you said there's going to be some variation/fibbing, but good enough for the junk I'll tie. :D Now just a question of cost per foot comparison.
Like and comment because the item was actually used. Not just "unboxed".
Good looking fly
Thank you!
Hey the fly guy my mom just bought stuff from you were do we submit our photos of our fish from you awesome products? And she bought Red and Black Flies and I’m not finding any videos of your videos about them do you have any videos? Love the videos keep ip the hard work❤ ❤❤….
Thank you so much! Thank you for your business and your support! You can submit your photos to my email at tfgflies1@gmail.com. My contact info is also under my About section on my website. Once you send me the pictures, and I know which flies you are referring to, I will send you some links to videos. Again, thank you for your order and I am looing forward to seeing your pictures!
@@theflyguytfgflies Thank you keep up the amazing work
@@PeakMotavation You are welcome! Thank you!
Nice collors! Is there a tying tutorial??
Thank you! Not yet but I will be doing a tying demo video and tying guide soon!
MY FIRST 93 HONDA ACCORD RUBY RED ...CAR A CLASSIC IN THE DRIVE WAY😢😢😢
They are great little cars. They don’t make em like that anymore. 💯
Awesome fly thanks for sharing!
Thank you! You are welcome! 💯
I hope you enjoy your vacation! Stay safe and have fun!
Thank you! It’s going to be a working vacation but it’s been long overdue! 💯
I have looked at this 4 or 5 times, and the video just now started playing... Great catch, great fish and a great looking fly! As always, thanks for sharing.
Thanks David! And thank you for letting me know about the video. Technology isn’t always perfect. 💯
I'd take a drum any day of the week! They are a blast to catch on a fly.
They are great fighters for sure! 💯
Love this fly! Caught a 15 pound common carp on it that took me well into the backing on my 8 wt...
That’s awesome! 👏
I found your channel this weekend. I've been fishing all my life but gotten into fly fishing & tying about 3 years ago. I've always wanted to write a book, and I decided to do it on my journey into fly fishing. Like you were talking about, it's something that I can leave behind to hopefully inspire and educate others. I'm not new to creating podcasts & TH-cam videos, but this is a new channel I created to share my knowledge & learn more. All the best to you. I've liked & subscribed.
Thank you! That is great to hear. We need people willing to pass things along so that the sport has a future. Good luck with your book and your channel. I will check it out for sure!
@theflyguytfgflies Thank you sir.
I've got your olive color of these. One of the best rainbow trout I've caught was on it!
That’s awesome! Send me a picture!
Which platform do you recommend for selling stuff? I don't have anything to sell but someday I want my own brands of knives, saws, and hatchets.
That sounds awesome! It all depends on how simple or complex you want your website to be. I have had good success with Weebly but Shopify is also good along with WooCommerce. Pricing is very similar for all three.
Cool video!
Thanks!
What state is this?
Ohio
Great video! Love carp and especially carp on the fly! Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome. Thanks David!
What's up? Does that mean Hello in English?
Pretty much!
Looking forward to more great videos! Thank you for all that you do, especially for us CARP guys. 😁
You are welcome David! There will always be Carp content on my channel! 💪
In Australia these invasive things make excellent compost as they " DON'T " go back into the water.
Definitely get the pool noodle this set is extremely painful for the back rest lol
Can't believe I'm saying this, but, er, I need to buy some more nail polish.
Haha! I have had the same exact thought at times!
Very nice
Thank you!

I'm not sure where you are fishing in Ohio, but I'm in the Dayton and Springfield area. Please let me know what to tie, or fish. The ever elusive Carp is the only fish in my area that I've not caught on a fly rod. Rainbows and Browns are easy to catch compared to me trying to land a Carp. Keep the videos coming man. I'
I fish for carp all over Ohio or wherever I travel but primarily fish for them in NE Ohio. Any of the flies that you see on my channel or website would be good options. If you ever have any specific questions or would want to chat, send me an email and we can set something up. Once you get your first one, you will be hooked! I have more carp videos coming for sure!
@@theflyguytfgflies Thanks for the response man. It's funny to me, that most "traditional" fly anglers scoff at people that fly fish for carp. However, the same guys will make trips to Florida, or the Bahamas to bonefish. It's the same friggin' thing. I'll e-mail you after I finish watching this video. I wanna tie up some of these flies.
Have the same kayak and have to change the seat out. Do u know the measurements of that seat how wide
Nice! 20.25 inches wide
I have two spools of this line, in both clear and smoke. I transferred some onto an old empty spool and also to a sewing machine bobbin. I have found it at Walmart as well as all local craft stores. Another good product I found is metallic embroidery floss. It’s bulky right from the package but can be broken down into individual or groups of strands.
Nice! You can always find great stuff for tying in craft stores and Wal-Mart. I like the metallic embroidery floss idea. I bet that would be great for trout and salmon flies!
Absolute legend, nice hook set on that piggy carp too
Thank you!
What happens if you use super glue to hold your fly together and you accidentally smell it while using it. Will you be okay?
Super glue can react with nasal passages and your eyes. The fumes themselves can become adhesive when it reacts to moisture. Just do not lean directly over top a fly you are using super glue on.
I use a 6/7 9 ft. and have never been into my backing, 2 piece leader, 30" 24 lb 20 " of 14 lb, and 16" 10 lb tippet, nothing expensive or elaborate
Exactly! You never have to spend a lot to get out and fly fish for carp even other species. Tons of options out there!
Awesome looking bike! Great carp action as well...
Thank you!
With all due respect you didn't tell any fly tier who know, including all my kids, friends, or even my youngest Grandchildren, anything they hadn't already figured out on their own,!! But Thank you anyway. Moreover the discount cosmetic shops my wife visits every now and again have sales with prices matching those of Dollar Tree's on some other items useful for fly tying!! Peace and thanks again
With all due respect, what was the purpose of your comment? Was it just to be an ass?
Fantastic! Hopefully some fishing adventures to happen with the new bike.
Absolutely!
I still manage to get that split shot stuck in snags! Good setup
Thank you! Same here! I'd rather it be the shot than the fly though!
