Graham 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2005 HI CaleB, I just realized that of all the fly's in the contest yours was the only one I printed when voting. This fly really stood head and shoulders above the rest. Please, please , tell us what the materials are? I'm guessing latex and wood duck? You have an amazing talent and I can't think of a sweeter combo than your fly attached to Carl's (now Cale's) bamboo fly rod. I really hope to see more of your tying in the future. Have a great weekend! Graham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcfly 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2005 All kidding aside, kind of hard for me to do, but there are a bunch of really talented tiers, rod builders and fishermen on this site. Just wish some of this dang talent would rub off on me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex C. 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2005 Great job! I would like to commend your parents and whoever your mentors/ role models are. There's a lot of crap teens can get into these days and the fact that it appears you have your head on straight shows that you have great character and great role models.
