Pujic 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2004 Good evening everyone, The time has finally arrived to reveal the results of our inaugural Online Fly Tyer / Fly Tying Forum Photo Contest. I speak on behalf of the entire MOD team when I say that the caliber of the photos submitted this year was nothing short of extraordinary. I know that I'm not alone when I say I had a very tough time voting. Thank you to all of those who participated and shared these beautiful photos with the rest of us. The following category winners better be prepared to spend some time browsing GCO as they all now have a $25.00 gift certificate courtesy of the founder of GCO, Will Mullis. Just in time for tying season! Action: nightfish http://www.flytyingforum.com/uploads/conte...73e4d7a605d.jpg Fish: JayMorr http://www.flytyingforum.com/uploads/conte...81b77d9eb2c.jpg Nature: Peddler http://www.flytyingforum.com/uploads/conte...7cf03568fc4.jpg And finally the winner of the best over all photo, and the lucky new owner of a complete Gatti / Okuma 5wt outfit, complete with SA line and a beautiful wooden fly box is: Best Overall Photo: GHow http://www.flytyingforum.com/uploads/conte...75925a4bb08.jpg Congratulations to all of the winners and a big thank you to all of the mods who've selflessly supported this contest. Given the participation and interest I have no doubt that we can make this an annual event! CONGRATS ONCE AGAIN! Nick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted November 9, 2004 You know what I hate about these contests? You enter a contest like this, and you vote on the pics, and sure enough the ones you vote on win. How can you vote against that rainbow picture. I was in that category and I took one look at that rainbow pic and knew I had no chance. I belive I voted for the other two winners as well. john Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2004 Congratulations, great photo's, definitely prize winning shots. I bet that Gatti rod and reel setup is super sweet. Nick Pujic let me try a Gatti on the NY tribs, amazingly light weight, fast action and a strong butt section. Sure wish I'd won it, maybe next year.

nightfish 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2004 Wow! I'm honored, especially to be alongside the other pics! JayMorr, nice shot! Where was that overall winner taken? My shot was of my friend Michael reaching for the tippet on a whitefish, caught on the Provo River. But to me, with the dark sky, the brooding light on his half hidden face, and the outreached hand commanding the rising water, he's totally Moses. Thanks mods & everybody! Cool contest!
