my oppinion...(which dont account for a whole lot), but youve got till june 6th, which is plenty of time to come up with one, or three flies, that you can be proud of.
tie these types or not, win or not, its gonna be fun.
just think about it, what have you got to lose.
i tied one for last years, it didnt win, i wasnt expecting it to.
i took ronns advise, i did the best i could do, i took my time, and that is what i came up with....but i had fun doing it. you can tie off as many bead heads as you can in an hour, but it wont compare to the tie for a contest....and getting it posted in the archives !
