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

Forgot I had tied this one, have had success with it this summer. It does wobble back and forth while diving underwater and on the pause it will float up to the surface.
Just don't make the legs too long because they will get caught in the hook gap.

What do you all think?

It's been a while but I think I used a barred crystal gold chenille.

While it's under, it should resemble a fleeing crayfish just a little bit on the retrieve. It's visibility should bring some attention from a ways out. Going after bass?

The great thing about catch & release is that the fish can live to grow even larger.
In fact, I've known some fish to grow quite a bit larger before the fisherman even returned home.

Well the body is done like a woolly bugger and pull the foam over the back and tie down.
Then I tie in the lip and wrap it to the front, then wrap back to where i tie off the foam.
Double over the foam to form the head and wrap down in the same spot you tied off the foam the first time.
Then it's up to you if you want to add the white indicator.
Whip finish and cement.

If you want I could do a step by step, it'll just take me a few days due to my work schedule.
