4 Hook Articulated Caterpillar! lolz!

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 was just thinking the same thing... I think here we can fish up to three hook points on most waters that are fly fish restricted. It's a cool fly though, and you could toss it on waters that are not fly fishing only.
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 doubt you'll catch anything with it. Now if you would have used 5 segments, then I could guarantee it would catch fish. biggrin.gif

In my state, you can't even use trebles for fly fishing. Limit is 2 hooks per rig...

Looks like something out of Alice in Wonderland, but where is the hookah? whistling1.gif dunno.gif

You could always remove the 2nd and 4th hook point.
They call it roadkill, We call it dubbing.

i do think it might be dangerous to cast but i think it would be legal to use in michigan as long as you are not in a designated trout stream so bass watch out

Neat concept but if you plan on fishing it and to stay on the safe side I'll suggest you debarb your hooks and learn the Belgium cast. Other than that have fun.

I'd personally remove the middle two hook points and just use the back hook for short strikes the front hook for normal strikes. Those two middle hooks are only going to lead to more injury on an errant cast, higher percentage of tangles and a longer amount of time the fish will be out of the water. 4 hook points is really unnecessary. Looks like a great pattern though and should have a ton of movement. It probably will slither like a snake on the surface.
