Fly Tying Bench Setup - Organization and Tour of my Design and Workstation

Fly Tying bench setup and organization. How I designed the setup of my fly tying station to keep me organized and help me stay efficient. Let us know in the comments if you have any tips that might help other fly tiers with their own fly tying benches.

Some of the equipment I use in my setup:

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.

Matt,
I am certainly glad I'm watching this in another room. If my wife saw...or overheard...how organized your fly tying space is, I'd really be catching it!

Seriously, that room is really organized. Well done.

years and years of life in that room!!! awesome fishy place!

[kumarramachandran]

This is next level. Ridiculously organized. Wow.

[edwardchavez]

WOW your setup is way to cool Sir Matt. Totally professional. I would feel like a little kid in a glass shop and my parents telling me not to touch nothing LOL. It's awesome to see where all the videos are being done at mind blowing.

Thank you for sharing how your fly tying desk is set up

Matt -- What an outlay of wonderful materials and equipment. Congratulations on having three great allies -- two loveable kitties and Bernie -- guarding everything. Mine are arranged by the whims of natural entropy.

That's an amazing space you have there Matt. I'm fortunate to have a my own man cave. In fact we bought this house from a fly fishing guide. It's a very small room so it has to be super organized. The down is that there's feather fluff all over my guitars, amplifiers, Hi-fi, music collection, rod racks, guns, model trains, antique lures, books, and everything else that I'm not allowed to keep in other rooms!

I love the "bench tours" most of the youtube channel tiers are doing these days. Nice tying room, thanks for posting Matt.

Thats a great space you have there Matt. Thanks for the tour.

Something to look forward to!! Your setup is awesome! I have two kids so I lost my office to tie in. Now it’s a nursery! Now I’m tying in a mobile night stand.

Very Nice setup Matt.
Thankyou for sharing this video with us.
Aloha🌴🎣🏄‍♂️

Nothing like a squared away work area. Bravo Zulu

[slickydicky]

I don't know how I missed this video, but I do certainly like your tying room

[marksleeper]

Wow Matt you have a nice tying room and set up Kudos

[charlieboutin]

Thanks for sharing! Really nice and organized. I took over our dining area a few years ago, it looks like a fox had a fight with a coyote after attacking a deer and some chickens! My wife’s ready for me to get a workshop.😂 I saw the Simple Flies book, and just received it after watching your video the other day, I really like it. Thanks so much for all your videos! Absolutely some of my favorite! 👍👍 Have a great one Matt!

Oh my...overwhelming. I guess that's what happens when you have been doing this for a long time! I can only imagine what my wife is going to say I. The next 10 to 20 years of me tying and fishing them. Lucky for me, she will help eat what is caught. Thanks for the video.

[kennethpierce]

Very nice. I didn’t see any snacks. Must have for me.

[jasonarrowood]

Wow, you got it going on Matt. Your set up and all those materials took some time to accumulate. One of the most useful things I have is two little magnetic pads that came with some Umpqua hooks i bought. I use them while I am tying to lay hooks on one and beads on the other. That way I will not lose them on my bench. Enjoyed the tour of your tying room my friend.

[jeffreystone]

Very impressive. Please, no one ever mention this video to my wife. She has already seen this with RC Planes and Reloading equipment. But, boys and their toys. Here we go again. 😂
