Great news Colin, Looking forward to seeing new shows. One of my fav's. Damian.

Hi All, I sent an inquiry to SAEN (The Salmonid Association of Eastern Newfoundland) http://www.saen.org/ , regarding their annual Lee Wulff Fly Tying Contest. It hasn’t run in the last year or so due to lack of interest and overall participation. They responded rather quickly and indicated that perhaps in the future if enough interest is shown they may look at starting the contest again. I’m wondering if anyone would be interested in writing to SAEN with intentions of showing interest in a revival of the contest for next year. I for one would like to see this contest revived, I’m hoping that if enough people write them and express interest they may re-open the contest. Thank you all for your consideration, you can contact the folks at SAEN by filling out the on-line form here…. http://www.saen.org/contact.html All the Best, Damian.

I usually watch fly tying DVD's on my laptop, Troutbum Diaries Patagonia and New Zealand are also high on the top of the list, other movies too when I get tired of the other. Sometimes music, but rarely.

hmmmm....

Something you might also try is flattening the rachis (stems) of the feathers with non serrated needle nose pliers, Flattening will help with the roll, also if you want them to lie even flatter to the body, try putting an upward kink in the butt end of the feather, do a couple wraps, then pull the feather towards the front, tying tighter down this will most times bring the feather even closer to the body of the fly so it lies nice and snug.
