steelie 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2006 Good Day, Hehehe... :devil: I have been laboring away at the vise/fly lab to come up with some funky cool stuff for this years competition. Right now I have thirteen patterns decided upon with about 6 of them being complete and ready for shipping. I may add a few patterns... only time will tell! BTW... some of you guys are going to hate me... Steelie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyfishingtaz 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2006 I'd like to sign up for it, but with the holidays here, and moving into the new house soon, Im unable to do it. Perhaps after we get to the new place, and I set up my tying room I can start in on the swaps. I'm in a tying frenzy and cant seem to stop. There's only a few patterns around here that will work, so Im limited in what i tie. Sooooo, I just tie up the 4 or so patterns I know of and hope I dont run out of supplies.Think I can con the gf into some supplies for xmas? :dunno: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh and I need to choose a good color pipe cleaner for the egg too!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
conehead 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2006 Still working on some of my patterns. I will probably mail them out after Christmas. Who ever wins owes me a thank you card, because the quality of my flies put you in the winners circle. It is still great fun to tie and enter. but I am always amazed at the skill I see.

vtflyhack 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2006 Hey smallie Hunter, What if I have a fly that I don't know what catagory fits it best? vtflyhack Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CapeBSalar 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2006 I've been slacking as well, I tied one fly so far that I was hoping to enter, it didn't turn out too badly, I'm second guessing it now, but hell, might as well give it a shot. As for anything else, inspiration is something I'm a little short on lately. Time to get in gear, whip out the ol' fly tying books and magazines searching for inspiration. Hopefully will come up with at least a few flies for the contest Will. Sounds like it should be the best yet!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted November 26, 2006 vtflyhack, You can send it in and I will enter it into whatever I think is best...you just cannot be upset with my decision... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have gotten some amazing stuff :headbang: This is by far the most exciting part of the year for me. I spend all year promoting the contest and now I can sit back and see all the flies rolling in. This is alot of fun :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: Still have a few weeks left!!! :headbang: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Irish 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2006 I am working on some neat ones. Need to keep the hair ideas flowing. You will see them soon and more than one. All who tie should enter. It is fun and a great way to learn. All who enter are winners. Irish Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
