Special Categories
Most Creative Fly
Participants may submit one fly for "Most Creative Fly". Submissions are only limited by your own imagination and creativity. Flies do not have to be designed to be fished with and can be made using ANY type of material. The only rule is the fly must be tied on a hook; any style or size.
Rookie of the Year
Any participant who has been tying for less than one year may submit their fly for "Rookie of the Year" consideration, in addition to any other category their fly is already entered into.
Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Award
This category is open to any style or pattern that is tied on a size 20 hook or smaller. Hook size will be displayed during voting.
Most Realistic
Award for the best realistic fly. No limitations for style, size or imitation, but it must be tied on a hook.
my word.
why?
Sounds fun. I like the idea.
I like the idea of giving each species more than one category. That way more people have a chance of winning. I'd enter the panfish topwater area.
the way it goes is the 3 top winners in each category gets a prize
I've been a part of it on that other place. A lot of fun, it wsa extremely well organised and run. I enjoyed it. I must say it would be an enormous amount of work photographing and cataloguing for whoever won that role.
who`s going to be the judge? and I`m in with trout dry/wet nymph It`s called the Depthcharge
Jeff
The members should be the judge, to make it more fair, like the atlantic salmon fly contest.
