I'd guess the winner emptied the hook box; me, maybe mid-upper 20's. After watching Charlie Craven bang out a pheasant tail nymph in 1:35, I gave it a shot and worked my best time down to just over 2 minutes. When I had the materials prepped for multiples (were the contestants allowed to do this?) I could do 1/2 dozen in under 18 minutes and they were relatively uniform in appearance, definitely not something you'd see in shop bins but a fish might eat them.

Regards,
Scott
