kyflytyer 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2009 I'm not going to participate because competition is not something I desire, either in fishing or fly tying. Several friends have asked me why I don't get involved in competitive fishing and I told them that fishing is relaxing to me and competition would only add stress. The same goes for fly tying. I only tie for myself and the fish. Good luck, though, to all those who participate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flytyinfreak 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2009 I personally don't consider this a competition in any way shape or form. I see the FTOTY "contest" as a way to give credit to some amazing tyers and reward the tyers here that exemplify excellence in tying. The medals and prizes are an after thought as far as I am concerned. I just love seeing good tying and camaraderie and the FTOTY is a great way to do just that!

Pelhament 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2009 Can you add a mouse category? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flytyinfreak 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2009 There is a mouse category! its the deer hair -topwater (bass bug) catagory. when you are tying it instead of thinking of bass, say Eat me mr. trout, eat me mr. trout. If you say that 720 times while you are spinning and stacking your deer hair mouse, and turn off spell check when you input the recipe on the digital form it will magically be a winner!
