Guest Report post Posted February 23, 2010 It's time....finally! Again, my sincere thanks to all participants. I hope you enjoyed being a part of this contest and challenging yourself to tie the best fly that you can. I hope you all consider entering again next year and the other 25000 members that didn't enter this year are invited too. I am very excited to unveil the category winners and get the voting started for the 2009 FTOTY overall winner. Congrats to everyone that sees their flies in this 2nd round and best of luck with winning the grand prize. For the first time this year we had a tie in a category so if you see two similar entries this is not a mistake, I let both of them through(they will be receive gold medals as well). The voting will end Wednesday March 3rd at 9PM EST Have fun! Click Here to Vote in the 2nd Round Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JRG 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2010 Well better late than never I guess..... where can I see all the flies? Also, I thought it was kind of hard picking the best one but one fly stood out more than the others artistically and quality wise so it wasn't too bad actually.

c-denby 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2010 Great selection of flies guys and gals.. I had a very hard time selecting just one. I looked at each fly several times before being able to decide on a winner, But in my opinion there would be a 3 way tie for First Place if it were up to me.. Hopefully some day my tying abilities are up to those standards. Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
