School of EP Flies

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

hell yeah! Bust dem bronze backs!

I love the EP flies look. Flyfisher 13 just ordered EP fibers in about 6 colors. I've only tied one fly with it, but it turned out great. Easy to work with and you can get great profiles with little material.

I would chuck your flies at bass anyday, Coinman.
Hug your daughters, or someone else will.

Thanks BigDaddy. I would toss yours too! The less EP fiber you use the better. Hope you catch the big one!

Nice ties. I been tying them since the day they came out. If I had only one choice, it would be EP Style flies. BTW I tie them up to 15 inches using Congo hair but the best lengths have been good for muskies in the 5 to 8 inch range mostly.

Flies are great.just tied up about 40.Mostly on #6 thru 1/0.Going to Islmorada on 4/12 for 7-10 days.Used the Silky fibres on all but the 1/0s.Went to the regular fibres on those.Tied up a heap of small Clousers w/Silky too.Will be first timee I fish the EPs.Only problem I had was using way too much fibre&redid them.Im sure you can find a market for them on ebay.Have also spoke with Enrico 5 or 6 times& he has been real encouraging& helpful as well.Been buying from Stockard as it seems he has the best inventory& prices arent bad.Again,nice ties.FD

Thanks Everybody. Again, use less than what you think when using EP fibers.

A overdone EP is a great injured minnow bait on topwater! So if made a few like that then use them as they work well for certain times. I really like putting weed guards on them and pitch them in the nasties and quickly strip it on top.
