Whitlock's Swimming Sheep Shad with Fly Rattle New Pattern Database Submission
 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'd throw that out on the GL surf and nail some Lakers with it for sure, very close to some I tie for them

Sweet pattern!. Well done step by step!. I noticed some grain in the photos. What do you have your ISO set at? It looks like Noise on the print due to the ISO being set to high. I had the same problem for the longest time.

I filled up two shopping carts late last night
The one was full of fishing gear, the other newcastle ale
The checkout-lady laughed and said 'You think you got enough'
And I said 'Yeah, You're probably right', and filled another two carts up
Gonna catch all the fish, Gonna drink all the beer, Gonna head outta town, We're not staying here
Might take all day, might take all year, Till we catch all the fish, Till we drink all the beer

Thank you for the advice. Do you know a lot about cameras? I recently bought an SLR and I'm trying to learn this thing. Where to start is the question....

Looks Great! How to you get the body to flair out from the hook shank and get such a tall appearance? Are you using anything to hold the wing and collar at that angle from the shank??
Thx for the help....it's needed!

WOW, that goes back a long ways but it's a great fly he tied.
Those flies are not hard to tie but they do take some steps to get to the end result. The hair is angled that way with a dubbing ball (umbrella). There is way too much to try to explain without showing the step by step. Try doing a google search on Sheep Shad there are some instructions on the web that will give you the general idea.
I'd suggest that you find the tape or dvd somewhere on tying that. Whitlock put one out on that series. It really makes it a whole lot easier.
Oh yeah, that pattern catches fish! My biggest LMB to date (10+ lbs) came on one tied like a Blue Gill. Lots of Stripers and White Bass too.
