Guest Report post Posted November 21, 2004 In the "first wraps" column of the new issue of Fly Tyer I read an article about team USA looking for an official tyer for the fly fishing world championships. They are holding a contest and the winner will travel with the team and tie all of the patterns for those who will be fishing. Any of you guys thinking about entering that contest?

Lance Kekel 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2004 I'm going to give it a whirl. I figure the worst that will happen is everyone judging will get a good laugh! The really interesting part will be researching the host countries fishing and designing/recommending a fly of my own to use there and why. Should be fun!

Guest Report post Posted November 24, 2004 It's good to see we have at least one member representing FTF in this contest. Best of luck Lance!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LigonierA1 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2004 I read that article with some interest although I might have missed a few details as it left me with a few questions. For instance, how is the competition scored? That might, for instance, deterimine if you tie a midge or a 2/0 Featherduster as the one "creative" option you get. The 3 patterns that they show as samples that you need to submit.......are they just being used for purposes of judging the tiers capabilities, or are they actual insects/flies used in the competition? I'm tempted to enter and submit a green weenie or Infamous Pink Worm, hehehe. Somehow I don't think that's very "politically correct" for this occasion, but I'd hate to compete without a proven attractor...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
