Stocky Rainbow New Pattern Database Submission
 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 |

Sorry for the poor quality photo - it doesn't really do the fly justice.
Eyes would probably add to this and tying it in half and half style would be good for deeper submerged structure.
I tied this for a trip for trophy largemouth on a lake in Southern California where 30,000 rainbows are stocked between 5 and 16" long multiple times a year. The small ones are stocked almost exclusively as bait for the 8 to 15lb largemouth. Ironically I forgot it at home (in NY) on my trip and will use it this year for a local Pike lake that gets stocked with small rainbows each year.

First the photo. The photo of the fly is good .You just need a solid background behind it. A piece of gray
craft foam works good. Gray is a netruel color and foan is not very reflective.
as for the fly it's great . I love the colors and yes an eye would enhance it.

Nice tie!

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.
