Hook: #14-18 nymph
Thread: Fine copper wire
Tail: Pheasant tail fibers
Body: Pheasant tail fibers
Wingcase: Pheasant tail fibers

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.
