huge "rio" monster

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

Crazy, John. big Rio. That's a "spawn hump" on his head, correct?

Like the hump on the back of Brahama bulls, that hump is present year-round on the males of many species of cichlids; among which are the various species of Peacock Bass. It is also a characteristic of male dorado, or dolphin, or Mahi Mahi in the restaurants and which are highly prized open-ocean fish; both for the sport and the table.

NICE FISH!!

If I was an "expert" people would be paying me to do this stuff. I just like to do what works.
