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 tying tips you would like to share or if you have any patterns you would like to see tied here.
Very nice story! Wonderful tribute toEdwards dad. Thanks Edward. 🙂
Thanks Clyde! And yes, thanks to Edward for sharing this story with us all. :-)
Thank You Sir Matt, I'm blown away by this. It's a very special moment for me, I'm forever Grateful Sir.
No, thank YOU Edward. I appreciate the opportunity to tie this fly for you. :-)
Thanks for the fly, Edward. Whipped up several of them tonight and will be giving some as gifts for Christmas.
@@SummitAndStreamsThank You, I tied a dozen up not to long ago half size 14 and the other half size 12. They were a gift as well. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

Congratulations to Edward on an awesome design. An amazing tribute to an important person in his life. Quite an honor. The history and story of this fly makes it even more interesting. Matt you done a great job of tying this one. As you always do. Very enjoyable video. Thank you.
Great name for the fly 🙏 Nice work Edward
Thanks Sarge. Appreciate all the support my friend!
Great looking fly Matt and Edward
Very cool story
Big thanks
Thanks for watching Dave. always appreciated!
My compliments to Mr. Chavez. He did a great job on this fly. It definitely doesn’t look like it was designed & made by a new fly tyer.
Thanks Bob. I think Edward had a good time with it. And that's one of my main goals here, getting new tiers interested and excited about the sport we all love.
GREAT STORY MATT AND AWESOME FLY AND AS ALWAYS GREAT TYING....
Thanks Harry! I've already gotten a few more for this series so we've got some cool ones coming up. :-)

Cool pattern and story as well, great tying matt!!
Thanks man! Looking forward to one from you too. I was fishing all day yesterday but I see an email from you. Will check it out shortly...
Edward very cool fly and story! Marty looking forward to more of there videos, I enjoy your channel Thanks
Thanks John! I appreciate the note my friend. :-)
What a great story. My favorite flies are the ones with a history or a story. I'm imagining this one being shared 50 or 100 years from now. Such a fantastic way to celebrate and honor your family and your heritage. Thank you, Edward. And thanks, Matt, for the idea to feature your subscribers on your channel. Looking forward to more of these.
Thanks Debora! I'm trying to solicit ten flies for this series so we'll see what I get. They might not all have an interesting history-- sometimes we just tie something that we think will catch fish, and then try to think up a fun name. But you never know. :-)
I love the back story on this one!
Well thank you Elizabeth! I appreciate you watching all these videos. And letting me spend so much time tying bugs. :-)
Similar to What I've been calling a "3- Way Fly" for years.
When I first started tying I didn't know all the names, or types of flies .
But I knew a fly like this had a tail, a body, and a hackle. These three elements together I called a, "Three Way Fly."
Materials weren't specific to a 3-Way - whatever would work.
Pheasant has been a favorite material since I first read about Jack Gartides love for the pheasant.
And I, too, favor a long hackle.
Great "3- Way" fly Edward, and thanks for sharing your memories.

David- I love this story! And I think a "Three Way Fly" is a great name. I might start using it as a general category of fly. For example, I could call my purple squirrel (which I never really gave a name), a simple 3-Way Nymph. Tail, body, hackle. That's it. And the same thing for a 3-Way Dry. Tail, body, hackle. I love this concept. So simple.
I might have to steal this idea! (I'll credit you of course.) Thanks for the note my friend.
Cheers,
Matt
@@SavageFlies Feel free. I like that it might help sort things out.
funny story - when I first saw a Hidy, "flymph," I exclaimed , "Hey, that's a 3-Way Fly. I wonder if he knows?"
Hahahaha!
PS I have found that the extra long hackle, a la, "The Carey Special," is a killer.

@@dahutful That is funny. I'll bet if Pete Hidy thought of calling them 3-way flies way back then, we might be calling them that today. Didn't he have a pretty popular book on wet flies and flymphs? I don't have anything by him... gonna have to do some research! (PS: are you upstate or coastal? I went to school in Charleston. Not a lot of trout water in the low country!)
@@SavageFlies Hidy had a booklet of only 100 copies - a very rare thing today.
James Leisenring, had a book called The "Art of Tying The Wet Fly," which was prompted by Hidy - who helped co-write.
The two men, together, are synonymous with the Flymph.
I've read a few chapters of other authors talking about Leisenring, and seen mention of Hidy in some Dave Hughes books. But interesting to hear this bit of history of only 100 copies. Thanks for sharing!
Nice fly you make them seem so easy.
Appreciate that Eric! Thanks for watching; and for the note my friend. :-)
That’s great Edward! Beautiful fly and a great backstory.
Thanks Jammy-- appreciate you watching my friend! And we'll have one to do for you soon. :-)
Cool looking fly!
I know someone with a cabin in boone north Carolina are you familiar wrhe the area ? Looking for trout stream locations in the area
Russell- I've never fished in Boone itself, but I have fished the South Holston and it's a solid river. There are plenty of others around. Check out Boone's Fly Shop. You could either stop in or check their website: boonesflyshop.com/fish-we-catch/. And you're not a long drive from the Great Smoky Mountains. Plenty of streams in the park that would be worth a day trip! Good luck!
