Hi everyone, year is around and here we go again... for the 33rd year in a row! :) Kindly invited!

Invitation to the 33rd Slovenian Open Fly Tying Championship 2020
Fly tying section of the Slovenian Fishing Association is announcing the 33rd annual Slovenian Open Fly Tying Championship for the year 2020, very likely the oldest fly tying contest in the World.

2. Nymphs & Wet Flies
3. Streamers
4. Realistic Flies
Conditions of participation are as follows:
1. Each flytier is allowed to compete in each of the categories with one fly only, which must be sent in 2 samples. The chosen fly should not be a part of the tiers participation in any of his/her previous tying competitions.
2. Package with each sample should contain:

- Description of used materials (Recipe);
- Size and type of the hook used;
- Name of the animal/fly that is being imitated (if possible a photography as well! *This only considers category - Realistic Flies)
Jury will automatically reject all samples that will contain natural insect parts (such as wings, legs, etc) as a part of the fly!
3. In the accompanying letter tyers must write their names, addresses, e-mails, telephone numbers, country for which they compete, names of the flies and passwords.

- Proportions of the fly,
- firmness and technical aspect of the tying,
- suitability of the chosen materials,
- general impression and
- innovativeness;
- in the 4th category the “level of imitation” will be the most important criterion!
