Lucky Strike 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

Simple and stylish. I can see the browns and smallies popping that one. I'll take 3 dozen.

Very nice! Do you use anything to fasten the zonker strip down, like Zap-a-gap?
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.

I did use some super glue along the top of the body. Sorry, must have forgot to put that in the instructions.

I've been rather surprised by how much I tend towards the simple/minimalist style of tying. Every once in a while I need a good, complicated tying challenge. But more often than not I try to make the most with the least.

I know what you mean... I was just playing around with some ideas over the last week, and once I liked what I got, I began simplifying it, until I got it down to something I like and is also very workable.

It's called "the far side of complexity". You have to gain the experience and knowledge of some of the most complex situations, find out what makes it hum, then bring it into its most simplistic form but still retaining all the triggers. That is a big turning point in one's fly tying approach. Congrats.

Same concept in education - you need to understand it in its complexity to teach it in its simplicity.

Well tied I love the overall look of the thing..
