artimus 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2005 for a great job done by all the tyers, and even more so to Mr. Will Mullis for the time he put into putting this contest together. If this vote were to count, I think that rod should be going to Will. Art Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CapeBSalar 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2005 Will, Hat's off to you! What a great looking job on all flies. From photography to the voting system layout, etc, a very clean fun way to do things. Thank you for putting so much into this, this was my first contest as I'm sure was many others first as well. It was great. To all the other tier's, there are some really hot looking flies out there, voting was hard! May the best tier win and good luck to everyone! To the sponsers, thank you for donating such wonderful prizes! There will be some very lucky people out there. The best of luck to all participants!! Cheers from Snowy Cape Breton Island.

Guest Report post Posted January 22, 2005 Well so far the voting is going awesome, we are at 978 votes at this moment. I gotta say that almost all of the categories are extremely competitive with only a few votes seperating the top few spots. Sitting back and watching the votes as they come in is probably my favorite part of the contest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CapeBSalar 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2005 Must be neat Will. 978, that's a load of votes for the first day. Wonder how much external traffic is going to occur and what the impact on the voting will be like? Should be interesting come Thursday. My fiancee's 7 year old God Child was here today and all three of us were taking turns tying flies, I brought up the site and found that the voting had started, so all three of us voted between us on which fly we voted for. It was a collective effort. Kid has a good eye. He wants to enter ROTY next contest! He's only been tying a Month. Cheers, Damian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nwflytyer 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2005 Fantastic photography, organization, and presentation, Will! A first-rate job all the way around. You make it easy to cast one's votes. Kudos to all the tyers. I spent a couple of hours poring over all the flies. Some very tough choices from a bunch of talented tyers. I was very impressed with the crop of rookies, and the vets did not disappoint. Well done all! Monte Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lance Kekel 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2005 Fantastic job Will!! The flies that were submitted are just amazing. Making the final decisions on EVERY division was just plain hard to do! I'm not even close to a decision on the overall yet! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
