Custom Fly Testimonies
Scott Lyke - Anchorage, AK, USA
Species: Steelhead (BC)
"I just returned from eight days of remote BC steelhead fishing. I am very fortunate that I connected with Luke Saffarek prior to our trip. Luke's custom-tied flies were not only "fishy" but also very high quality. We experienced no "failures" with his flies...I cannot say the same for my own flies I brought from Alaska. These flies were perfectly weighted for the water conditions and casted beautifully. I would highly recommend Luke's flies for any angler serious about catching steelhead.

Kurt & Jeanette - Smithers, BC
Species: Pacific Salmon
"Just wanted you to know that the fly called “Kurt’s Coho Killer” tied by Luke Saffarek of Tigerfly Outfitters really does just that. On a recent trip on the Pacific North Coast We caught 16 coho and 12 were on the “Coho Killer”. It out fished all other bait and lures.This was our experience in July at Edye Pass and Avery Island also. We also caught a nice Chinook on this fly. We have caught 18 salmon on this one fly and it is still good for more, very durable."

Cash Lowe - Bend, Oregon, USA
Species: Steelhead (BC, Oregon)
"...I knew the Steelhead were there but they were not responding to any of the five flies I had just swung through the hole. I thought I would give it one more shot so I tied on one of Luke's flies and on the third swing; BANG!! Learned my lesson - now I start with Luke's recipe.
"The flies that Luke ties not only move fish, they are beautiful. Luke ties with the hand of a pure fisherman and the eye of an artist. Thanks, Luke!"

"Luke at Tiger Fly Outfitters produces some of the very best trout, salmon and Steelhead flies available. His flies are excellent quality and durable enough to be fished day in and day out anywhere.
"I am always impressed with his creativity and the variety of the patterns. Luke has a strong passion for fly fishing, and that is reflected in his work. He works hard on the water, testing new materials and patterns to suit every species and every condition imaginable. He is dedicated to helping people enjoy the sport as much as he does, by tying the best flies around. "
