Mike Flysmith Collection

Mike Flysmith is a Florida-based saltwater fly tyer known for clean, intuitive designs that balance modern flair with proven on-the-water performance. From meticulous bench work to real flats testing, every fly he ties carries his signature blend of purpose, precision, and attitude.

Mike’s tying style is built around natural movement, smart material choices, and durability you can trust when the fish of the day finally shows. His patterns carry a lifelike flow in the water, subtle flashes that imitate real forage, and proportions that make redfish, snook, trout, and other flats species commit.

Anglers value his work because his flies aren’t just tied to look good — they’re tied to solve real problems: spooky fish, clean water, pressured flats, and picky eaters. Whether it’s a shrimp that breathes between strips, a baitfish profile with balanced taper, or a crab built to land soft and sit right, Mike’s flies are crafted with intention from start to finish.

The Mike Flysmith Collection showcases his evolving line of saltwater patterns, each one tied by hand and refined through experience. If you want flies tied with skill, style, and true flats mojo, this is the collection.
