Some first ties.

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

Nice ties! I wish my first flies looked that good...

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.

There's nothing wrong with any of those flies. I wish my first flies looked that good. Now go catch a fish with them to really get you hooked on tying.

I agree with mouse, those are very nice flies and will fish fine. Can they be tied better, sure, but bare in mind that some days I can't seem to get it together to produce . Every time time you sit down you should learn alittle something and in no time yours should be even better than these, Great Job

I remember my first ties it was like I can still see them ---all yeah i can because they looked like shit and didn't catch any thing so they are still in one of my boxes those look pretty good but the guys are right hang on to some just for future reference keep tying
To many times the success of a trip is based on the catch and not in the adventure itself BIG_FISH

Thanks guys, I will be trying some out this weekend. I need to stop and get a few materials to tie some minnow and crawfish patterns, then see if I can get a smallmouth to take one.

look good, you will progress quickly.
May the holes in your net be no larger than the fish in it.
