All you SBSers

As a noob to fishing and tying, thanks for all the great fly's to imitate and aspire to. And, since there are anywhere from one to 5 SBS on any given day, think one a week could be done up for the FOTW each week?

Of course, surely someone has already thought of this.

I like them just as well as Forum Posts.

Maodiver,

I believe that your tag line is intended to read "Trust but verify" .

Please do not turn this into a political thing!

As a first to say, I agree with you, when I have an SBS I send it to rtidd, and like you said; "there are anywhere from one to 5 SBS on any given day" but there's been only 2-3 FOTW PER MONTH lately!
I should be sending in more I know, but I haven't had the "Want" to do so because when I do (and my last one was AWESOME) I feel like nobody cares that I'm tying better! Okay Rant over

Tom, thanks for the support. I have seen some of your SBS, and they are awesome! The thing about the Fly of The Week is that it is all in one place. Parnelli, Swapmiester for us beginners, downloaded all the FOTWs and categorized them by type (dry, streamer, nymph, wet, etc.) and put them on a DVD. Great reference tool. I don't think he could have done that from the forum.

The other factor is that the patterns in the threads will eventually disappear.

[TomS]

yep'! couldn't have said it better!
and for me it is hard to send in a submission because most of the patterns I tie have already been in the FOTW.
You guys inspired me to do another, and I thank you for that I haven't really tied a decent fly since June because I haven't been inspired, but low I'm gonna' charge my camera and try and get an SBS FOTW together!

What is a SBS ? Let's not start a "texting" language.
Older guys like me will never catch up.
