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

Tied these up one day. Tried them for coho salmon, but made too much noise.
They also float.
Made with xmas tree garland wrapped like a hackle on a 2/0-7/0 nook.
Always wondered if they would work for pike if a long tail was added.
Don't have that species here.

Nice work!
It looks like you tied the second one "flat" - on top of the shank?

thanks for the comments the second perch pattern is tied flat the reason for this is to fish in shallow water were weed comes up to just under the surface , pike tend to sit in this during the summer , so the fly resembles a dying perch(stable pike food in Scotland)

by looking like a dying fish on the surface the pike doesn't need to expend a lot of energy for a quick meal , it basically comes up opens its mouth and sucks it in , no need to go chasing a healthy fish when there's a quick easy meal in front of you

i suppose its like us not being bothered to cook a meal when there's a hamburger joint next door yahoo.gif
