Fly Tying Contest For A Good Cause
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.
Just trying to move the traffic bud…..
Keep practicing…..hey try a deceiver..easy fly…got another contest starting in January.
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.
Yo bud.. Rick Pasek RP3Flyfishing)is swapping over on http://www.flytyingforum.com under the redfish swap. Can we get you in?????
Just added more info on the swaps on AFT. Can We get you to enter the FOM Ice Flies contest on AFT?
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?
