- From John Van Vliet's "The Art of Fly Tying" from 1994, the Possie Nymph is so named from it's one material - opossum fur. This same technique could be use with any varmint's fur-- raccoon, squirrel, rabbit, fox or even something like chinchilla.

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. Thanks for stopping by. - กีฬา
Thanks, Matt. I think it looks best tied with Aussie Possum and like the "Tassie pot scrubber" is a great fish taker. Regards from NZ.
Good afternoon Sir Matt, A great golden bead possie Nymph. Looks like some of my flies when I first started tying. LOL😊
Hey Matt,☕️☕️
Back when I had hair that what it looked like 🤣🤣🤣
I need a good opossum pelt and I will be giving this one a try😉
Thanks, and have an amazing week 👍
Looks awesome Matt . A very buggy looking nymph. Definitely a fish catcher. Thanks for sharing.
Very Interesting fly. I really appreciate you taking the time to show how to make a fur hackle I haven't done one before, but going to give this one a try with American possum. This video will help very much. Thanks Matt!
Love buggy flies. This one is certainly that. Should be a good fish hooking fly. 🙂thx Matt.
That reminds me of some of Fran Better's hairy flies. I enjoy tying with fur and this looks like a good buggy nymph to try. Thanks.
Hello Matt! Definitely a buggy looking fly, yes it will work. Enjoyed watching. 👍
Thank you for the video, Matt! Time to start my shift with one of your videos! I appreciate it! Tight lines! 😎🎣
Thank you for the video Matt. Nice looking buggy fly👍. Looks like it would definitely catch some fish.
Nice buggy nymph.i fish them.thanks matt for sharing
Good morning Matt. ☕️time. That is definitely a buggy looking fly. Before you thinned it out I thought they should have called the fly the Phyllis Dillar because of that hairdo. I have some American possum just might have to give that a try. Have a great week Matt. Well another ☕️is in order. Looks like it’s going to be a beautiful day on the desert.
Looked like my first attempt at a dubbing loop until you thinned it and turned it in to a fish catching machine! 😂
Buggy! Thanks, Matt, for the tutorial!
Nice thanks Matt, I appreciate your teaching points. Have a blessed day my friend.
Thanks Matt
You always have interesting patterns Matt. Thank buddy.
Up early today and saw you video very buggy nymph matt sure to work as for wax i use u.s. army ski wax applied with a round toothpick to avoid clumps have a good day 😊
Nice matt thanks.
Interesting! As buggy as it is, I'm not even sure the extra weight and a split shot would get it down! I'll definitely be tying a couple, though. thanks, Matt!
Nice fly Matt. I think I'll make mine out of squirrel tail I've got lots of it, maybe even come chicken feathers, it's not fur but the under feathers have lots of fuzzy stuff. A little late this week I'm getting closer to Lake Okeechobee and some bass fishing so I'm not always connected to the Internet. Keep the good stuff coming buddy.
Thank you for all of your wonderful videos!!
I picked up the Stewart & Allen Bass and Panfish fly book that you've shown before. I know you've probably got an entire list of flies to tie already scheduled, but, if you have an opening in your plans I'd like to see you tie the Fuzzabou Shad. I have been having trouble figuring out how to tie the wool head. Thanks!
Now that is BUGGY! Should be a really good one.
That is a cool looking fly, Matt
To me, it looks like a variation of a guides choice hares ear
Still, it's cool looking fly
Thanks for the video Matt
Buggiest of bugginess! Looks like a Casual Dress that got too close to a Tesla invention The only reference I found of this nymph was Possie "Bugger" Nymph, that pattern had a mallard or partridge feather collar and a head of dark aussie possum. Was the GBPN a simplified variant of a GB P "Bugger" N? I know Aussie Possum naturally come in various colors, American Opossum are grayish white. I have some patches labeled Aussie P, likely dyed rusty brown, for tying Betters Ausable Wulff.
I have some American Opossum pieces, likely scraped off the road 🐁🐀 A long time ago one of our dogs had a close encounter 👽 with a ball of gray fur in our fenced backyard, in the middle of the day! I called her off and went to see an opossum playing "possum"! What a beautiful animal, with a set of scary choppers! It's fur had such depth of color, like looking into a storm cloud. Awesome fur for a bait fish pattern. I scooped it up in a snow shovel and released it by the creek. Another excellent video Matt, lots a learning moments throughout. I had fun. Thanks 👍
you can use a toilet wax seal for dubbing wax cheap and lots of it works great.
Oh great. It looks bushy enough to fool any fish, but I’m now stuck with an earworm repeating over & over in my head. “Aussie Posse Nymph … Aussie Posse Nymph …”
Matt I love the fly had a few when I first started totally forgot about them.. I might put a little less on that collar and preen that back when you wrap it may help with the unruliness in the end?
looks good MATT! let the trout pull them wild hairs out!
Very nice fly. Do you sell your flys? Tight lines🐛🐞🐜!!!!!
Thanks for this simple nymph pattern. I've been looking at those tapering style scissors. Have you tried those before? Any thoughts?
Yes it was a disaster!
