Spring Chicken 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 another really beautiful fly. Nice materials choice. The illusion of scales is really nice.
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.

Thanks for the comments. The wing is a combination that was inspired by some scrap materials laying on the base of my vise. The body I took from another pattern. I really like the multi-faceted, multi-colored look the rainbow Flash-A-Bou gives. As is usual, the photo doesn't really do justice to the colors in real life. It's a little more subtle than holographic tinsel - I think a little more realistic to some of the colors I see in a baitfish.
Should work well with the yearling baitfish until the pin-minnows start hatching out.
Enjoy.
