smalliehunter 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2011 Been watching this post carefully and feel it is time to award the scissors. After going back and forth on a few flies I think the most unique and creative bugger posted here was tied by deeky on page one. There were several well deserving flies but I kept going back to deeky's unique use of a weave which I would have never thought of when tying a bugger. Congrats deeky, I will be sending you a PM today to get your address for the scissors. Just because I announced the winner today I hope to see you guys continue to post your bugger variations here, this thread has been a lot of fun!

deeky 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2011 WOOHOO!!! I'd like to thank the academy, my agent...... oh wait........ No really, I am really excited about this. My wife is laughing at my excitement over a pair of scissors, but it's more than that. I think we all appreciate when our work is recognized, and there are a lot of great flies in this thread. Thanks to Will for the generosity - I see the next challenge is already up and running. This place is unlike any other. Deeky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
