RAFFIA) AND DEER HAIR...YOUR PATTERN MUST INCORPORATE BOTH MATERIALS TO QUALIFY!!!...to give you guys a little bit of a cushion to plan and play with your creations, the due date for entries into my email (bullyhunter at gmail.com) will be Sunday, May 4 at 10PM...good luck to you both...

hydropsyche Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Congrats on making the finals, guys. I can't wait to see how you will out do what you already came up with.

PrarieCreekFlyer Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I think this would be a great time for a shout out to DBT for puttin this on. He did it last year and alas its gone for other reasons. Thank you DBT for putting this on and thanks to the tiers that put there name in the ranks and good luck to the winner.

vince Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Guys I'm new to this forum and such have not posted much (but viewed a lot) but I have placed my vote during the KOTV rounds and I take this opportunity to congradulate and thank Terry and Clyde for showing us some great looking patterns during the previous rounds. I do look forward to seeing the flies in this final round. Good luck to the both of you. Vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBT, will you be posting a summary of who tied which flies when this is all done? all flies will be reposted in the Fly Patterns forum as a reference with the tyer's name and recipe (if a recipe was sent along with the pic) after all is said and done...
