A very big thanks to all those who entered the flies to the
2008 Atlantic Salmon Tying Contest. Also a big thanks to
FAOL and John McLain of http://www.feathersmc.com
for sponsoring the contest.
I must say that it was very hard to single out the top three
in each category. Any one of them could have been #1 so
everyone should feel proud to be on the winner's stage.
Nicely done to all of the tyers.
With a drum roll, the winners are . . . .
