On behalf of FAOL, and myself, I would like to thank all
of the entrants for the flies that were sent in this year. It seems that
every year, the bar is elevated a little more and this year is no
exception. All of the flies were great and a few were fantastic.
Everyone who entered is a winner.
As I have said in years past, the real object of this contest is not
just winning a prize but it is the elevation of the tyer's skills and the
ability to match their work against other tyers world wide. I hope all
of the entrants had fun with this year's contest and that everyone will
be back again next year.
A special thanks to FAOL and Partridge for sponsoring the contest.
Until next year, Happy Trails!
