Matty-J Custom Saltwater Flies 

Back to Home Page

All flies are hand-tied by Captain Tommy Mattioli. These flies are tied using the highest quality of materials. They are extremely durable, and are tied on saltwater hooks. All heads and finish work are epoxy-coated. These are flies that are tied exclusively for a handful of fly fishing guides and a few fly shops in the Chesapeake Bay area. 

These saltwater flies can be ordered from Fly Fish The World, a complete fly shop, located in Richmond, VA. To order these flies, call (local) 804-282-5527 or (Toll-Free) at (877) 937-9359 and speak with Alex, Robert or Harry. They can assist you with your selection of flies (color and size) for the type of species you are targeting. 

Sizes, shapes and color may vary slightly (since these are all hand tied), but the quality will always be the very best.

All shipping & handling is free.

Half and Half 

The Half and Half is the favorite among many saltwater guides and anglers. This fly has proven itself over and over again, and is a must for any fly fishermen. Don't overlook this fly, if you are a largemouth bass fisherman. These flies have a very similar action to the "Pig & Jig". The quality of this fly when compared to flies tied over-seas is night and day. Each tie-in is glued and all heads and underwraps are coated with epoxy.

Foam Baitfish

Jumbo Bunker Fly

This fly pattern is an excellent choice when fish are feeding on large baitfish such as Menhaden, Shad, Herring, Mackerel and Porgies.

These flies are tied with 3D eyes and have durable epoxy coated heads.
