Murdich Minnow 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 |

This is really cool! They're fun to tie, but are also expensive to tie. A good alternative to this would be a bucktail tail with streamer hair, an estaz grande body, with a colored back done by a Prismacolor marker.

When one is tying to his heart's desire, cost is often a secondary concern, young Blake. Nice tie. That screams , "Eat Me!!"

And how very right you are! To be honest, I was going on word of mouth. The real Murdich Minnow, as it was told to me was expensive to tie, so I wouldn't know otherwise. But I know ignorance is no exception... my apologies.

They are quite expensive all you need is hooks, flashabou, bucktail, some eyes, estaz, and ice fur...
I think the expensive was alright, because it catches me small mouths, large mouths, stripers, blues, pike, a lot of different fish and all that ties up about 25 or so. so to me it was well worth the expense.

Well it's an awesome looking pattern, regardless of cost. Besides, lots of us probably own most of that stuff already.
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.
