Welcome to Southern Style Fly Tying.
I’m Capt. Dylan Tuchon, founder of Southern Style Fly Company. I created this community to help you go from wondering where to start to confidently tying saltwater flies you’re proud to fish.
Learn the fundamentals, build your skills, and tie Southern Style patterns I use on the water. We cover tools, materials, techniques, and the details that make a fly swim, sink, and hold up.
Inside, you’ll find:
• Beginner instruction with clear steps
• Tutorials for proven saltwater patterns
• Material lists and practical substitutions
• Advice on when and how to fish each pattern
• A place to ask questions, share your flies, and get feedback
You don’t need an expensive bench full of materials or years of experience. Bring a willingness to learn, and we’ll build from there.
The goal is simple: tie with confidence and experience catching fish on something you made.
