Saltwater Pattern / Recipe Links

Recommended Posts

One of the greatest things about the FTF is the diverse group of fly fishing / tying enthusiast from (literally) all over the world.

 

In this age of instant information on the internet we now have unprecedented access to web sites, and communications with people that have the same interest. I know from personal experience that I spend a great deal of time doing researching sites for patterns and and fishing reports for the Florida, Alabama, and Louisiana areas... Over the years I have bookmarked a considerable amount, some very useful and others only for a short time. However, it's a lot like six degrees of separation...one site links to another, and another and so on.

 

I was thinking that it would be nice to start an ongoing thread to where we could post sites of interest that would benefit group as a whole, this way we could build an impressive resource of useful information in a one stop shop format. Not looking for others forums, just patterns, step by steps and video links, magazines and that sort of thing.

 

I'll start with a couple, if you like the idea post up some favorites and lets see if this goes anywhere.

Look at the Lipped Popper & Fishermans' Coast websites above for fly patterns unless you're going to the rodeo ! EP tarpon flies on Gamakatsu SC 15 - #3/0 - 2H work well !
