Der Hoff Inspired by Rudi Heger

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 tied this fly for targeting big Flathead & Blue Catfish here in TX. Inspired by Rudi Heger's pursuit of Wels Catfish in Europe (check out Tube Flies Two:Evolution or google "Rudi Heger Catfish"). I tied this streamer on a 3 1/2" alunimum HMH tube with the fibers lashed in Puglisi style. I used elements from different colorations of foragefish to make kind of a swimming pizza! I plan to chuck this with my 10-wt and sinking line in habitat likely to hold some whoppers. I would also like to take it for a swim in Amazonia for Tucanare, Dorado or Payara or perhaps offshore for Sharks or Cobia.
