BASS

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

Looks like Jerry McKinnis and two other guys have bought BASS from ESPN!!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully they'll get it back to what it was before ESPN destroyed it, I know lot's of folks who dropped their memberships when ESPN purchased it.

Good Luck Jerry!!!!!!!!!!!

Just Fishing! All life is that to some extent. If we are not fishing for one thing it is another. But angling! That's just a bit different. In it we find peace and contentment and much with which to occupy our minds. May the balance of our fishing days be blessed with congenial comrades and "tight lines." Ray Bergman

I'm glad to hear that not only did ESPN sell, but to a good guy like Jerry as well. I use to watch some of the BASS coverage back in the old days when ol' Forest Wood was still around but stopped watching it some years back. ESPN turned it into more of a circus than anything else. If you watched it for an hr you got 5mins of fishing, 20 minutes of commercials, and 35 minutes of interviews with people that no one cares to watch. Hopefully it will turn back to the way it was in the past before ESPN ruined it.
