Hatches Magazine: Chris Helm Interview

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 love hearing from guys who've been in the game for a while and are successful. That's the kind of knowledge you usually have to pay for! Thanks Will!

I had the good fortune to place an order from Mr. Helm a few months back. Along with my order I got a nice patch of his natural deer hair, and a solid thirty minute tutorial over the phone (We talked about every concept discussed in the interview regarding deer hair tying). People like him are what make the fly tying, and fly fishing community as great as it is.

Ihave done bussiness with Mr. Helms awhile and he has been very helpful to me. I can tell him what I'm tying and he will suggest things for me. He will take time with you no matter how skilled your are, he makes you feel at home- you will want to tye when he gets through with you. Dry, soft hackle, nymph,anything he knows. DEER HAIR he is the best. I can,t tell you how great he has been to me but if you don't call him you don,t know what you are missing. His prices are in line with anybody and his quality will be better than most. HE CAN HELP YOU- TRY HIM.
