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 and Friday).

Thanks for stopping by. Please let me know in the comments if you have any tips or tricks that could help me with my tying, or anyone else watching.
