Tying Instructions Been looking and thinking about this one a long time...

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

The topwater wiggle one:

I have looked for a couple of months now for a similar fly that used a plastic lip like the on in the pic and cant find anything closely related.

Any help? It would be killer on LMB!

Joe Hard shows some pictures of construction of another lipped fly in this thread:

There's also a guy who makes pre-formed "fly lipps"

Be sure to post up your tying results.

Here is an article that I wrote some time back, for a tube fly pattern that used a diving lip on the fly. You can download the article and print it out. I bought the plastic lips from Cabela's.

I think tying the lip in will be the easy part. Depending on your experience, work on your deer hair spinning and stacking first. That will be the harder part. Sorry, no links. But go to Hatches TV and search for some deer hair videos.

I've made up a few deer hair minnow type lures with small lips made from plastic soda bottles. They were an absolute pain in the a$$ to cast, and caused leader twist like crazy. I might have just done it wrong, but I didn't find them to be worth the trouble. Just my two cents.

If I was an "expert" people would be paying me to do this stuff. I just like to do what works.

Those flies were tied by Jay Murakoshi. A good guy that makes some of the best deer hair bugs, those are also his clousers in the pic.
