Matt Bennett
Signature Tyer
Matt Bennett is a full-time commercial fly tyer and the owner of Fly Geek Custom Flies. While having a varied interest in many different types of fly fishing, Matt most enjoys both tying flies and fishing for the native bass species of the Texas Hill Country. Matt's patterns have a broad universal appeal to fish species all over, and he very much enjoys sharing his tying and fishing knowledge with others. Matt has fished the waters of southwestern Colorado since he was a teenager and especially enjoys chasing native Cutthroat trout in creeks throughout the San Juans.
Matt is a Renzetti Ambassador and also a member of the Ahrex Hooks and Dr. Slick Tools Pro Team. Matt currently serves as the Education Director of the Texas Council FFI, was previously the President of the Austin Fly Fishers and was awarded the 2015 Charles E. Brooks Memorial Award by the International Federation of Fly Fishers. You can often find him behind the vise at many fly fishing events and shows throughout Texas and beyond. You can view more of his work at his website, flygeek.net or on Instagram @flygeekmatt.
