Presentation Tips: This worm cluster pattern fishes especially well during high water periods; however, it is also effective when fished in low, clear water in the deeper runs and pools in streams from North Carolina to Virginia, Colorado to California. It is productive for trout, steelhead, carp, and even panfish. It can be DEADLY under the right conditions but..... so can many other patterns. Best in size 12-16 in pink, red, or brown.

Hatches is an annual publication with a strong devotion to professional writing, beautiful photography and informative articles pertaining to both the artistic and practical aspects of fly tying. Each issue features 13 featured articles that span a massive 96 pages.

I agree with the feedback you have received about Hatches. This is by far the best magazine I have seen that shares the wealth of knowledge without the additional 30 pages of vendor advertisements. I understand they are needed revenue but it is refreshing to see the quality of your articles etc. without having to thumb through all of the ads. I also take three other periodicals that are OK but no where nearly as good as Hatches. I wish you continued success and would like the opportunity to have 3 year subscriptions some time. Thanks again for all of your hard work and excellent presentation in Hatches. Best of luck, I wish you a long life and can't wait until you are recognized as the number one periodical presenting fly fishing knowledge.
