Okay, everyone take a guess. Oh, if you were there, please hold off answering.

Fly tying speed contest at the show in Danbury this passed Sunday. Here's the scenario:

1. About 10 participating tiers were seated at a long table.
2. Tiers were each given a spool of the same thread, unlimited supply of size 12 wet fly hooks, and a hen neck.
3. Tiers were shown a simple soft hackle fly(thread body and collar of 2 turns of hackle) and told they were to tie as many of those flies as they could in 1 hour.
4. They tied for a monitored 60 minutes, after which the flies each tied were counted by neutral observers.

Complete this sentence:

'The winning tier tied __ flies.'

I'll provide the actual answer tomorrow(Tuesday).
