New toy for our fearless leader

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 one is for Will (owner of the website) to go down to FL this summer and wreak some havoc on the local bass population with. Blank on this one is a blank made by American tackle which has the Matrix carbon fiber on the butt section but it's actually not a Matrix, its a much faster taper than Matrix are. Seat is a AW12 carbon fiber window with owners name inscribed in the window. Grip is a full wells with Camel wood ends on it. Wraps are Metallic black main with metallic silver trim and some metallic silver copper accents plus some spiral wraps.

A fly rod that pretty for that ugly Mullis casting stroke. Oh, the horror...

When you come down to Florida Will, bring some oil dispersant with you. We're running out.

Nice work Steve!

As Americans, we need to remember that the only thing free about freedom is the letters used to spell the word. Freedom must be protected, cherished and paid for.

Well, I guess luckily for us the trip was planned months ago and the wife decided to stay in Orlando instead of one of the gulf side beaches like we normally do. Now we have some options on where to go from there. I don't think I could even stomach seeing the devastation first hand.

If you are going to book anything water related do it as soon as possible . Because of clossures on the gulf side , the Atlantic side will be seeing higher volume I'm told.
