Bass Bug

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

This is my first try at stacking eyes in a bass bug. Last night I thought of a new way to combine white and black for the eyes. I'll give that a try this weekend.

Look like it will really catch some bass under the right surcumstances.

Not really, I just started playing with it this week.

This is really crappy deer hair that wouldn't spin or flare, but I was just playing around to see if it was possible. Please don't "grade the fly"

Nice tie, I can really see that thing going to work.

It looks like you've to the packing/spinning thing pretty sell set. Once you get the trimming part down you'll be rocking! A REALLY sharp razor blade and those flies should clean up nice.

Those are some extremely cool flies in the link.

Believe it or not it's the deer hair. That hair wouldn't even compress or flair. I just bent it up and pushed it back. Here are two more done the same night, all three trimed with a new double edge blade.
