It struck me, that maybe we ought to have a set of instructions as a sticky at the top of this forum on how to submit a fly of the week entry. We might have more people willing to submit the flies they tie.
What do you guys think?

What do you guys think?
I second that!
I am not the creative tyer, but I am looking to "think up" a new pattern:idea:
Along the lines that Don mentioned....
What qualifies as a pattern to be submitted??? Anything that isn't in the archives???
Scott
I second the motion.

Go for it. Sounds like a great idea!

No arguement from me! 8T :)
Basically take the pictures to show how the fly is tied.
then write all the stuff up and sent in to LF.
Look at how the FOTW have been done.

I really don't mean to disagree . . . However are the FOTW's and archives, not examples already?

I think the guys were refering to the steps taken to submit the information for FOTW. I could be wrong though. I don't think so, but VEE tells me it happens more than I realize.

The only requirements for a fly to become a FOTW is for the tyer to take the step-by-step pictures of the tying steps and send them as an attachment to an e-mail to www.publisher@flyanglersonline.com. The step-by-step pictures plus the instructions for each is all that is needed. I am not a very good fly tyer and I have a couple FOTW flies here. Just take the best close-up pictures that you can and describe the fly tying techiques and it is always nice for a brief story on why you tied it or how you became familiar with the fly that you submitted. Right now Deanna is healing from surgery and it may be awhile before she can post another FOTW, but, she always appreciates people submitting flies for FOTW. If there are problems with the pictures or anything else, she will e-mail you back explaining the problem and work with you to get it straightened out. Go for it!
If any of the above is not correct, please correct me. God knows my wife does!
