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

I wated a 1. I have never a been a contest guy. With only 2 years of tying I don't stand a chance baby.gif . As long as my flies catch fish, I don't care how good they look in the picture.

I have always tried to promote the event as being "fun". Sure it is a contest and there will be voting but my goal has always been to showcase the talent of the members here. I have gotten alot of feedback from people saying "I'm not really a competition kinda guy" which is fine. I just hope everyone realizes that I do this event for the pure fun and excitement of an event this big.

Me, I am defiently a 10. I have been waiting all year to kick this thing off and I really enjoyed doing last year's contest. The time surrounding the voting I have never seen people more excited.

If most of my tying stuff wasn't in storage I'd be thrilled...I just hope I can move into my new house and get my desk set up before the dead line.

I'm so running out of flies although last night I'm working a beach and catching stripers like mad. Then a guy comes up to see what kind of fly I have - normally I'd be more than happy to show and share, but I was using a grossly over sized thunder creek minnow because I haven't tied in a month.

Guy was nice enough to explain to me that I shouldn't use fresh water flies in the ocean. I was going to say something sarcastic but instead I just caught another fish. The fly did eventually come apart but hey they all do that.
F'ing the ineffable since 1974
