Winter Flytying Competition

Hi guys

We've been discussing running a wee flytying comp again this year.
The entries we get are usually great so we thought it would be nice to continue what is becoming a tradition.

So we will do three months, January February and March for the run up to the new season
There will be a nice prize for each month courtesy of Mr B.

This year the idea is to create a fly using a tried and tested material in a new and original way, the fly will be marked on originality, use of material, tying prowess and its potential to catch fish.

So for January the material will be Marabou

So let the creative juices flow and lets see what you all come up with :z16

Sandy

Pm myself, Hamish or Mike for details of where to send them, or drop them off at Haddo

Originality and use of materials are just (if not more) important than becoming the next Oliver Edwards :z16

Enthusiasm goes a long way  :z16

By the way - doesn't have to be a trout fly.... could be Salmon....Tarpon....Bass.... (Carp or Pike for Rob  :wink ) ....... it's your choice  :z16

But, if you feel your pattern needs to be 'explained', then please do include a wee description of how/why/what etc.  :D

Good to know, Hamish. My flies were very kindly returned to me this weekend  :mad. Seems that the plastic filmcontainer I send them in, was too big  :shock. Send them again last Monday to Mike.

Hi folks :cool:

Well, February has arrived and is looking a tad nippy :z6

Continuing with the idea of creating a fly using a tried and tested material in a new and original way, a fly that will be marked on originality, use of material, tying prowess and its potential to catch fish...........

The material for February's fly will be Pearl Tinsel :wink

So let the creative juices flow and lets see what you all come up with :z3

Best wishes
Mike

Henry,
I assume that this had to be fairly difficult!!!    All the best with your recovery.
