Grizzly and Orange 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

That is a very unusual taper you've chosen for this pattern. After studying it for a little bit, I think it is a nice choice. You don't see as many slender patterns like this these days, but they used to be a lot more common, and were very productive. Joe's Smelt is a thin pattern that I used to fish a lot and did very well with, for example. I like seeing tying that moves away from the herd. Nice work.

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.

Deeky, your patterns are always very nice.....You've inspired me to start my trout boxes for this season, in them I have included some classic streamer patterns. I will post them in a few days.....I'd love to get your take on them, considering it is not my specialty.....Thanks...keep up the great work....

I like it! This is very similar to some streamer patterns I use on shallow crappies in Ohio. I do the same body/rib, but the wings on mine are just hackles, no hair mix. As many fish as I have caught on mine, I'd guess this pattern will also be a slammer!

You've been cranking out some terrific patterns, deeky. I bookmarked each of your recent posts in hope of tying them myself. Beautiful flies.

Brings to mind a styling of traditional smelt patterns....I can see steelhead, smallies, and even the crappie loving this one. Very nice, Deeky.

Hug your daughters, or someone else will.

Thanks for the comments. I was thinking bass with this one - should throw fairly well on the new 5 weight. But the thought of a good crappie on the end of this makes my mouth water. When we were up in Minnesota I did a fair amount of ice fishing for them when the lake was 5 minutes away. Just not the time or opportunity here that I had there. The thought of a bucket of 10-13 inch crappies is about enough for a sick day tomorrow. Have to wait a while.
