Salt to Fresh Crossover Mullet Madness

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

Discovered the joy of making dubbing brushes today...

Call this one Mullet Madness, think it will work on fresh water for bass?

Looks great. I fish a bluegill/perch version of this fly for bass using EP fibers. Its also fun to tie. Good luck fishing it.

Great fly Panama Red. Why don't you join our saltwater deceiver/clouser swap. All of those would also work for Bass. Your fly will be a killer for smallies, largemouth and especially stripers.
Give a man a fish and you'll feed him for the day; Teach a man to tie flies and he'll pick up all the roadkill.

That will crush bass! I think most saltwater streamer patterns cross over well, might just have to adjust the colors or size, but most saltwater streamers will work equally well in fresh water.
