 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.

i would say anything you would tie for carp. they eat invertabrates and molusks. so nymhps and even a clam pattern would probably work just look up on google. i would assume to fish them just like carp.

Oh, you meant a fly to catch suckers and redhorse. I thought you were looking for a fly to immitate them....they're a significant part of the forage base here, and I tie redhorse flies for muskies.

I have caught a few on the rivers around my home on a small mud puppy pattern I tied and I just crawled it along the bottom. I was fishing smallies at the time but I occasionally get a nice redhorse doing this.

now ive only caught fall fish or suckers on accident lol. but how i caught mine was i was upstate WV and i was using a natrual grasshopper pattern with no foam feathers and all and i saw my fly sink so i stripped my line to put dry fly paste on it and i hooked a nice 2.4 pound sucker he put up a fight he wasnt no bass or panfish i was looking for but it was a great fight
