A very big thanks to all of those who entered the flies
to the 2006 Atlantic Salmon Tying Contest. Also a big
thanks to the Partridge hook company and FAOL
for sponsoring the contest.
I must say that it was very hard to single out the top
three of 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...
Happy Trails! Ronn

On behalf of FAOL and myself, I'd like to thank
all of the entrants to this tying contest. Each
and every one of you were winners by taking the
time and making the effort to push your tying
skills a bit higher than you might have otherwise
done.
The point of having this contest was/is to bring
new Tyers to the craft and help make existing Tyers
better. If any of the of the entrants would like to
go over their flies with me from a technical point
of view, please feel free to email me at
ronn@ronnlucassr.com or phone at 503-654-0466. I'll be
more than happy to give some input that may help fine
tune your flies.
Until the next contest.
Happy Trails! ~ Ronn Lucas, Sr.
