Fellow Skinny Moose blogger at Aroostook Flyers and Tyers is hosting a fly tying contest for a worthy cause.
Every month he will tie a new fly and issue a challenge for others to match his pattern. As the flies are mailed in each month, Brent will pick a winner and feature it on his blog. The winner gets all of the flies tied that month OR they can be donated to Reeling and Hearing or Casting For a Cure.
His first fly will be an ice fly variation (photo right). In Brent’s words,
“… you will see that all ice-flies are nymph-like bugs or minnowesque. The fly I will tye will be particularly suited for perch, as they are the #1 ice species catchable with these bits of sparkle and stuff…”
Consider participating in this great opportunity. Follow this link for more details.

Thanks Bill…… I look forward to seeing a great bunch of tyers getting involved. Right now I have 8 tyers who have committed to participate. Because of the Holidays……I have stretched this FOM contest from before thanksgiving to january…..out of consideration. More than a month, but it should be good.
I appreciate your endorsement….are you gonna enter?

Yo bud.. Rick Pasek RP3Flyfishing)is swapping over on http://www.flytyingforum.com under the redfish swap. Can we get you in?????
Brent – Ashamedly – I can not tie flies very well. All my prototypes have flunked. I could use some time fine tuning this new ‘dabbling’ hobby.
Just trying to move the traffic bud…..
Keep practicing…..hey try a deceiver..easy fly…got another contest starting in January.
