FlyTyer16 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I entered the Youth division in the tying comp last weekend and mine was the big yellow,green, and black streamer in the case. I was wondering when I would find out how I did. If anyone knows that would be appreciated. Thx. Quote
Flytyer Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 My guess if you didn't hear anything you didn't win but you can inquire here: office@flyfishingevents.com Quote
FlyTyer16 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Posted January 29, 2014 Thanks i'll have to try that out. they wouldn't have displayed it if it didn't win anything would they? Quote
Flytyer Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I think the judging was done later on Sunday afternoon but not totally sure on that. Quote
FlyTyer16 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Posted January 29, 2014 I went to the show on Saturday. Did you go? Quote
FlyTyer16 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Posted January 29, 2014 have you ever competeded in the competition? Quote
Flytyer Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 have you ever competeded in the competition? No and I personally don't believe in most contests. I find that many that enter contests feel they need to prove something to everyone or for their own self promotion. That does mean I'm necessarily right and those that enter contests are wrong it's just my personal feelings on it. Fishing contests on the other hand are a completely different story, that I 'm not going to get into here as it isn't the right place for it. 1 Quote
FlyTyer16 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 Thats cool. It was my first time trying it out. I wanted to see how my flies would go up against some international tiers. 1 Quote

murray Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Congratulations on your winning tie. I like it, the pike should just eat that thing up. Murray Quote
FlyTyer16 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Posted February 7, 2014 Thank you Murray. I could sell you some if you like. And thank you all for your support. That was my first time competing. I've been tying for just over six years. It's very therapeutic. Quote
SanJuanWorm Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Good job. I need to get back into tying. I've been on hiatus with the arrival of kids. 1 Quote
SilverDoctor Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Good job. I need to get back into tying. I've been on hiatus with the arrival of kids. That does put things on hold for a while, I remember when my twins arrived. No time for myself for years. Keep well Quote
FlyTyer16 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 I just realized this the other day. I started fly tying at that show in 2005 and now i compete in their competition and win. I find that cool. I loved seeing all of the little kids trying their hand at the tying booth this year. Quote
SilverDoctor Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Best part is new tiers. We had a few ladies who tried it and you could see the fire in their eyes that said I have to do this. Quote
