hydropsyche Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 LF, you snuck a real beauty in there at the last minute, eh? Very nice, but you can't avoid having to tackle wings for too long..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonefisher Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Actually I do a bit of wings already and I gotta say that the bronze mallard is one of the toughest winging materials I have had the pleasure of workin with. But at the moment I can afford silk more then I can afford feathers LOL. Wings come next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydropsyche Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 ...I gotta say that the bronze mallard is one of the toughest winging materials I have had the pleasure of workin with. I'll have to second that. Its tough and it looks like you got that wing on there successfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harps Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Tough call, All excellent tyes!!! My vote isn't for what type I like best (speys), but for eveness of ribbing, floss, tags, size, dimentions, etc. Hard choice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonefisher Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 So does this mean I actually won? I've never actually won one of these before..... All I gotta say is that was a great contest and some kickass flies I'd frame em all. Anyways back from the famdamlies ate too much again. Hope everyone had a good christmas.

hydropsyche Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Don't jump the gun there big boy. Just because you are *currently* in the lead, doesn't mean its over yet! I don't remember seeing an end date. I think people can still vote and being X-mas and all, its probably a good idea to keep it open for a bit longer.

CapeBSalar Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I agree, I see there was no winner announced on the other poll either. Not much activity because of the holidays but that's understandable. Cheers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydropsyche Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Although its not over yet, I think you won the last one, Cape. I'm kind of surprised at your ranking on this one. I thought you would run away with it. You got my vote. Since Lone hasn't won one yet, I'm secretly (but now publicly) routing for him.

bulltrout Posted December 28, 2007 Author Share Posted December 28, 2007 although i may receive flack for actually calling this one, i'll have to say LF by an eyelash here...kinda disappointed in the turnout on this one but i blame it on the holidays...i'm starting to feel the bitterness clive...

lonefisher Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Sorry it didn't seem to be moving much before but I see that some more votes have been cast. Either way there is 5 different stlyes of steelhead/salmon fly in this contest and they are all pretty damn well tyed and great examples of their style. I voted for cape b as his wings are amazing and likely make his fly the most difficult tie...... That said hydros is stunning........ If we want to continue the voting I am ok with that..... Or maybe we should redo this genre sometime when more people are able to enter and vote ect. We could even break it down into more specific styles. In any rate win or lose I am more then happy with the votes I did manage to get and with 5 flys like that there is no loser in the bunch. Just on a quick side note Michel921 I love that fly its a great example of what you can do with synthetics while still maintaining the generaly excepted form of that type of fly, and having a natural looking tie. I often steer clear of to many synthetics simply because I find it hard to make the fly have that natural feel. But you caught it. Bet its a great fishing fly as well with all that sparkle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
