Let the Games Begin

Recommended Posts

Just got my new issue of Fly Tyer and the 30th Anniversary Contest looks awesome. I need a new canoe!

Congratulations to Dave Brandt for having his Royal Wulff used as the example for one of the contest pictures. I know from my last swap that we've got some guys and gals in here that can tie smoking Wulffs....

let the games begin.

Wouldn't it be fun to have a pool where you guess the total number of entries plus the number of FTF members making it to the final 20....but we won't because it's probably illegal!!!....lol

Just for fun:

1,717 entries

14 finalists who are members of the FTF

Mine will be sent in for sure...though not sure what I will do yet for either the mandatory or tie-breaker...

 

I am going to guess far lower...say 1222 with 13 FTF finalists :dunno:

I'm gonna do the Wulff as well and I'm not decided on what to ty fro the "tiebreaker"

 

Entries: 1430 total entries

 

FTF finalists: 10

 

good thread John, you should make a contest out of it.

 

what do I get if I win

should we all send one extra of our tiebreakers in to you for the person who comes

the closest (with out going over of corse)

 

Just my 2c

I'm gonna enter. I think I'm going to tie the Hair Wing Blue Doctor as the mandatory. For the tiebreaker... something that sinks. :P

 

1542 entries and 8 FTF finalists.

 

I'd love the Canoe - a fishin' trip to Montana would be good too but I'd be pretty darn happy with the rod 'n' reel, vise or tying stuff just fine.

i have never had a need to tie any of the mandatory flies before so i am going to have to do some practicing as well. i already have my tiebreaker picked out though. its an original pattern.

I doubt I will enter and have not seen or read about the contest till now. It would be nice to see a familar name from the forum take the cake.
