Sorry for not posting the contest last week, I can never seem to remember. The category for this week is an idea of sukhoidave here is what he wrote "I would like to make a proposal for the next contest. How about a 4 part wet fly - that is only 4 parts beside the hook and thread - so basically a simple wet fly with a tail of 1 material, a body of 1 material, a simple 1 material wing, and 1 material hackle. If you want to add a tag you would have to forfeit another part like no tail or add a rib and forfeit the wing as in a soft hackle... Get the idea?"

you must put the name of the fly, recipe for the fly, a picture of the fly halfway done and a picture of the finished fly. you must have your flies in by thursday at 10 pm est. Please participate to keep the weekly contest going.

Nice flies. 6 people in so far and there is still tomorrow if you haven't joined yet.

Thank goodness there's still tomorrow. It was my idea so I wanted to participate - I'm gonna be doing a demo of this fly in March so I wanted to practice it some before. This is my second go at it, but I've tied a bunch of classic "Bergman" wets.

This is a Bog Pond wet fly
Hook Mustad 3906 This is a size 6(new style apparently - micro barb and really heavy...)
Thread Black 6/0 Danville Flymaster
Tail - Golden Pheasant tippet fibers
Body - Black chennile - this is size "fine"
Wing - Mottled turkey wing quill slips
Hackle - Grizzly hen neck.

I'm not sure I understand the idea of the half way picture - my wife had the camera when I was tying so I tied a half of the fly and another complete fly and managed to get 1 decent picture of them both.

Thanks for looking and to those who submitted a fly this week.

I think it is just to show that you actually did tie it and not buy it?
