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

Years and years, I mean eons (20+) I read an artlicle ina field and stream about a guy who claimed he could catch a bass on anything! He went on to explain how he rigged up and caught a fish on a toothbrush, and uh, I think a wristwatch, and a few other bizarre things i can't recall. i think the thing about bass is they are aggressive foragers and will try to eat just about anything

I would believe that they are agressive they bite anything that makes noise and has a little flash. or thats how it is on the lake of the ozarks

The article says the ring was lost in 1987 so that would have to be one old fish. I bet he found it foraging.

Dude! i heard about that! That is weird!

Darwinism seems to have become a politically protected sacred cow, and I've never seen a sacred cow I haven't wanted to roast - the fact that you are not supposed to criticize it is just too irresistible to me.

Tie a man a fly and you give him fresh air, some exercise and a lot of fun. Teach a man to tie flies and eventually it takes over all free time, a room in his house and several thousand of his dollars.
