Catskill Dries Contest...

[bulltrout]

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/

i'm appealing to the board here...there was so much interest in these little contests i run a couple of weeks ago but now, we can't even get more than 3 entries in a week-long span...also, when the poll pages have more than 400 views but only 20 or so votes, that's just sad...i wanna keep these things going as we had lots of fun with it last year, but we need the interest that was showed last year as well...thanks...
