Carolina Wulff – Fly Tying Appalachian/Great Smoky Mountain Trout Flies
This Royal Wulff variant came to fame in the Great Smoky Mountains in the 1970s. It’s a recent addition to the fly patterns of the area and does a great job imitating several different types of mayflies and even terrestrials. It can be fished in slow or fast, riffled water as a searching pattern.

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 tips or tricks that could help me or anyone else watching.
