Madpus - Ticked Off Persian Cat 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 |

Sweet fly dude, might have to try that one out. Now as for the eyes being in the wrong position, why would you want them on the underside of the hook? I would think having them on top would be better sense its going to flip the hook over preventing snags.
I love the smell of Borax in the morning

Thanks man, I have tied a a lot of them that way as well and it is what I fish most of the time. But for 10'+ of water around or near spawning flats for big largemouth looking for a meal, I tied a couple this way. If you tie a couple, be sure to use some red for the gills, you would not believe the difference it makes.

I like it - looks like a big meal!
My only question would be why not palmer the marabou? I've found that you can get nice "bulk" with a little less material by palmering in the marabou. Another plus is that you can palmer in two colors at once to get a pretty wide range of coloration. I like where you have the eyes - I like to keep the hook gap as clear as possible.

Cool fly, you didn't by any chance actually use persian cat fur for your fly, did you?

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.

Believe it or not the fly is only about 3 3/4" long, the photos make it look 5"+.
