Tying Instructions: Tie in order shown. A little cheat I do when tying in saddles is to leave a little webby feathers at the tie in point and wrap them around tie in point prior to tie in. Makes lining up those feathers much easier.

Weight can be added behind eye
Presentation Tips: I fish these unweighted for both striped bass and freshwater bass. Great night fly or dirty water fly. Pitch it by a dock, structure or cover and hold on.

Introducing Hatches Magazine

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.
