I love poppers! But watch out for those bats

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

Finally!!! I caught some fish. My first fish on a fly rod was caught today. I started on my home river, but with no luck for two hours, I decided to move to a tiny pond I have been fishing since I was a kid.

I bought some poppers today, and when I got to the pond, I tied on a yellow one. After about three or four casts, a bass hit and I reeled him in...which wasn't hard because he was only about 6 or 7 inches long. I caught another bass the same size and a sunfish. After that, I started loosing light and bats started swooping at my fly during my false casts, so I decided to call it a night. Not a great story, but at least after two months of getting skunked I finally caught a freakin fish.

Plus, catching anything on topwater is about the most fun you can have in my opinion.

Cheers,
MTG

Today a man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed into a slow vibration, and that we are all one conciousness experiencing itself subjectively. Life is only a dream with the imagination of ourselves...........here's Tom with the weather.

Skunked, if you have any kind of boat, you should shoot down here some day and we can check out some lakes around here. I'm pretty sure they're all melted by now.
