as long as you are not against scaling down cliff walls blindfolded...

fishing in the winter just makes me feel fat... DORF GONE FISHIN'... Bono employing a patented fishing technique... when you squat, it makes your fish look bigger... Kale The Contortionist... Kale tying on his secret stick pattern... P.S. : sorry to all that i might have offended....

no rush...

here's the next contest...CATSKILL DRY FLIES...any pattern is acceptable, but the fly must go along with the generally accepted style and appearance of these flies...for those newbies out there that may not know what Catskill dries are, here's a link that shows a couple of pics as well as a brief article by Dave Hughes http://www.flyfisherman.com/ftb/dhcatskill/ entries due by November 18 at 9:00 PM...

good job ggp...you just edged me out on this one...

hijack...hey brent, do you still have that tutorial of your Brent Bug from the old FFA? if so, can you post it up? thanks

it might be way too late for this, but is there a different font that can be used to make it look more "badass" and less "foofy"? if not, i'll pay extra for a shirt and hat with red...

yes they are...kind of an unwritten rule that you don't vote for your own flies though but you can if you want...

just a couple more hours for any last minute entries...

this is my all time go to nymph...a modification of a normal weevil...my F2 Nymph...tied just like a weevil but peacock sword is used instead of goose biots for legs and tails...can be tied weighted or unweighted but if weight is required, i prefer to use tungsten beads... Hook: TMC 2487BL #10-16 Bead: Gold, Silver, Black or Tungsten Sized To Hook Thread: Olive 8/0 Tails: 4 Peacock Sword Fibers Divided Rib: Gold Wire Shellback/Wingcase: Gold Holographic Tinsel Body: Olive Ice Dub Legs: 4 Peacock Sword Fibers Divided Thorax: Olive Brown Ice Dub

brett, that was real class there my friend...you are welcome on the stream with me any time bud...

last year we did caddis larva, deer hair flies, midges, species specific, old standbys, all purpose nymphs, all purpose dries, all purpose streamers, and realism...let's get this year rollin shall we?...first contest is Attractor Nymphs [nymphs that don't represent anything in particular but seem to catch the fish's eyes (not literally )]...anyways, post your pics and a recipe like last year and any tying or fishing notes that you may want to add...being that FFC is way better than the old site, we don't have to limit any of the events to just 10...this year, the first 20 to post their patterns before or on the cutoff date will be entered...the cutoff date for entries will be Wednesday, Nov. 7 at 9:00PM or sooner if we fill up the spots....polls will be up when i get all entries in...have at it boys and girls...

i did and he informed me that the FFC staff would be doing it rather than myself...

for those that are interested, i still have the pics from all the contests except for the KOTV tourney (the only ones i have for that one are my own)...

nevermind...i guess i'm not doing it this year, FFC is...sorry guys...

stock up on your materials boys and girls, i plan to get the contests up again....the first go around will begin at the start of Nov. with consecutive contests throughout the winter ending with the KOTV tourney probably in Feb.-Mar. ish....

it's that time again eh dave??...that magical time of year when Devlin's fancy turns from riding the bikes, to repairing the bikes (i.e.. shocks and seats)

being that there has been an uprising in interest in these flies and techniques in the last couple of years, i would suggest "Czech Nymphs"...

hey clive, you still got the link to the solstice page from last year?...if i recall, there were some nice bows landed...

or you could just use a dry instead and double your chances...just my take on it...

24's???...26's???...7X???...either you guys are married and are used to painful torture or you are masochistic addicts...lmao...anytime a fish requires a 7x or 24 to catch, i break out the warm beer from the backpack and toast him one for winning that round...

i don't know what's sadder...the fact you know the exact words or the fact i remember that from grade 2...lmfao
