 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 is of no help to you but my buddy who can hardly shoot a fly 15ft didn't catch a thing the last time he went. He was targeting bass with buggers and sum topwater terrestrial/popper patterns. Most fish I catch are usually on shorter casts but for some reason this kid never seems to catch JACK.
He did tell me that he hooked into some nice lookin brookies on the saginaw river/stream.. He mainly uses buggers so I'm going to assume thats what he was hookin them with. But if I were you I'd totally fish the saginaw.
Wish I could help you more, sorry buddy But good luck!
