So we all love to fly fish. But do you have the cojones... To do THIS!?!?!?

Dear FTF Member,
Support FTF by Subscribing to Hatches Today! 2011 Issue - In Stock
Since 2003 FlyTyingForum.com has grown from a handful of people to 30,000 registered members and has become the largest fly tying community in the world. In 2007 I published the first issue of Hatches because I felt the FTF community could offer a printed magazine that far exceeds anything the fly tying world has ever seen published. To this day, Hatches is largely made up of articles submitted to me by FTF member and FTF will continue to play a large role in the future of Hatches. Hatches truly is a grassroots effort, unlike many of the other publications in circulation that have the backing of large media corporations. The future of both Hatches and FTF depends on the support of FTF members like you. For $7 a year, you not only help ensure that I have the resources needed to be able to offer you all of the features you enjoy today free of charge, you also get 96 pages of pure fly tying awesomeness that is worth the price by itself. Click Here for Subscription Info Thank You -Will

I just read an article in Field and Stream about a guy who could possibly have qualified for the Darwin Awards if things went wrong.

FLY FISHING FOR 200 POUND MAKO SHARKS OUT OF A KAYAK

I love fly fishing, but that's just nuts.

I would do it. I just would want to work up to it to know what to expect.

Sean,

Go For It! headbang.gif Probably everyone has seen the footage of those Great Whites hitting the "surfboard" seals. I say "refuge or no refuge" I'd have to put a hook on one of them. Talk about the ultimate topwater strike. bugeyes.gif

There was an 11 year old on the jersey coast last year that was pulled a ways down the beach in his Kayak...Would be fun..How about the guys who swim out at night 1/2 mile off of montauk pt. and fish in a wet suit..great white areas, just to hook a striper. I think they are called skishers...
