bulltrout Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 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...

lethfisher Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Before I enter I just want to clarify, would a zonker be an attractor nymph pattern or does that fall more in the pike flies catagory? What if it is tied on say size 10 or so? Thanks! Edit: Nevermind, it is a streamer. I am tying something else. Is it possible to delete this post?
