gpd4 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2010 Do you want 1 of each, or 3 of each - to show consistency in the flies? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horseshoes 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2010 gpd4- 1 fly for each catagory. You may enter 1,2 or 3 catagories. I'll try and clarify the first post, do not want to confuse anyone.DONE Just want to give a fun contest. Bet you are thinking about it. :hyst: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
