Trouttramp 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2022 Any interest in a “Fly Challenge Thread”? Here is how it works 1. Tyer that accepts challenge has up to 5 days to tie the fly and post a picture, some leeway will be allowed on the number of days. 2. Only the first tyer that accepts the challenge will tie and post a picture of the fly 3. After posting pictures of the completed fly, that poster then names a new challenge fly. 4. Any version of the challenge fly is acceptable 5. Have fun, this is not a competition, just a way to see some different versions of flies 6. Flies should be tied "fresh" for the challenge you accepted. Don't pull 'em out of the already tied box. Fly# 1 Rubber leg nymph Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
niveker 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2022 Sounds like it might be fun. Speaking for myself, I would probably need more than a day or two to tie the fly, depending on what it is of course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

niveker 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2022 For me, a week to play it safe, though I would probably get it done sooner. A longer time frame may also encourage newer tyers to take part. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trouttramp 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2022 How about 5 days as a target with a day or two for leeway? Dont want to make it to tough, just thought it might be fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zoran 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2022 If I have all necessary materials or substitute I would join the challenge! Week is great timeframe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squeezy 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2022 Sounds fun to me- only limitation would be if substitutes are allowed (color too) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trouttramp 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2022 Ok, let’s give it a go, re-read the guidelines as I have tweaked them a little. For the first fly, let’s start with a fairly easy one, a fly I have had great success with on some great rivers: RUBBER LEGS NYMPH Again, your version, trouttramp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WWKimba 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2022 Sounds like a great idea. Unfortunately, I don't have a camera! Had a great Cannon about 15 years ago but I went on a trip and on the way home some baggage handler must have needed a last-minute gift for their spouse! But I do hope to see this work.
