Guest Report post Posted February 9, 2007 Once again I have to thank everyone who participated in the 2006 FTOTY Contest. I personally believe the contest turned out great and seeing the end result reminds me why I put this on every year. Without members willing to participate this annual event would not exist, so I say "thank you" to each and every one of you. We are now down to 18 flies.... These 18 flies represent the very best of their categories chosen by you the members of FTF. One of these flies will be chosen and the member that tied this fly will be crowned the Fly Tyer of the Year and will be awarded the custom bamboo fly rod built by Chris Carlin. I am sure that most of you thought that I was going to announce the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place flies in each category tonight. If you thought that you were wrong. If you participated in the contest this year and you do not see your fly listed as a choice it does not mean that you did not win a category. I made some modifications to the 2nd round voting software this year so that it will remain a mystery until I unveil the results after the 2nd round voting has ended. Don't worry it will all make sense in the end. So if you don't see your fly, don't fret, you may have won...you'll just have to wait and see. Hey, I gotta keep things interesting. Enough rambling, it is time to start the 2nd round voting. Congrats to all 18 winners(although you don't know who you are :hyst: ). You may vote only once, take your time and make your selection carefully. Study each fly and make your choice based on your idea of the perfect fly. The voting will end Tuesday February 13th and 9:00 PM EST Have fun and follow this link to vote now: http://flytyingforum.com/?act=special&...ntest_votefinal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joe Hard 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2007 I am not realy sure I understand this, and want to tell you that you can vote more than once. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
letumgo 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2007 Will, it looks like I can vote more than once. Is this supposed to work this way? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted February 9, 2007 That was a small error that had been fixed. It was only letting you actually vote once but it would continue to show the flies.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

burninbriar 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2007 Round 2 voting seems a lot more difficult for me than voting for the individual category's. I think I found the best one though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
