Midas' Touch 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

Thanks for the compliments. This is one I keep going back to take a look at.

Unfortunately I haven't thrown it yet - no chance to get out. But I've got a pontoon sitting in the garage that I have yet to get out. So the lakes are calling louder and louder every day.

The hen hackle is just a Metz hen neck in Ginger/Brown. Most feathers on the neck have some brown in the center of them, almost like a ginger furnace. The one I used here had very little of the brown to it though, by design. The claret dubbing is considerably darker than I expected, so I didn't want to add any more dark to the pattern with a brown centered feather.

My charge for the use of it is reasonable, I think, although some no doubt will be unable to afford what I ask, and that is- take care of it as if you had carved it out with hand tools as I did. If when you leave your conscience is clear, then you have paid the full amount.”
